The autumn weather is a bit delayed this year, so by dodging some extra-smoky days I was able to squeeze in another batch of faceups. First up is another Shoushou Doll Niko, this time in tan skin! I pre-ordered tan Niko last year, and it took almost exactly a year for her to arrive. I…
Rounding out the latest batch of faceups is this custom modded DDH-10 gal. Lately I’ve seen a lot of great modded DDH-10 customs, and since I had an extra head floating around I decided to give it a shot. I didn’t have a clear plan in mind at first, just shaving down the mouth until…
The past couple weeks I’ve been working on another batch of faceups, and this time first to the finish line is Alna! Well, 2B is also done but I’m waffling on the best eyes for her, and she’ll get her own update anyway. Alna is from Volks’ original character line ‘Akihabara Girls’ and has…
Rounding out my latest batch of faceups, Yukiho Hagiwara! Yukiho is another sculpt that was on my wishlist for ages. Back when she was originally released, DD lotteries were super competitive and I missed out on the chance to get her for a reasonable price. I kept my eye out for an affordable option, and…
Finishing up a last few sunny weather faceups, I just completed this custom DDH-14 girl. She wasn’t originally part of my planned slate of faceups, but I impulse purchased her floating head and felt immediately compelled to repaint it. As you can see from the Before photo, she had a modified factory faceup that was…
ShoushouDoll Niko arrived! And immediately got a faceup :D ShoushouDoll is a China-based BJD artist who sells their work through Taobao and a couple other representatives such as BJDivas. I picked Niko up second-hand since I missed the original order window. As soon as Niko arrived I hurried to give her a faceup since…
It’s a bit delayed but here’s the final faceup in the set of commissions I finished this summer! She started off as a Volks DD Candy memorial version, and was transformed into Ranma girl type! It’s fun to work on a more graphic and retro anime style faceup – I don’t typically use pure black…
Occasionally I’ll do some faceup commissions for friends and acquaintances, and the first of this year’s batch is custom Kizuna AI. She’s been repainted to look like Kotori Minami from the Love Live anime. I’m not too familiar with the anime but I think she’s really cute! And Kizuna’s sculpt is a good fit for…
