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…
The next from my latest batch of faceups is a custom painted Airy as Rin Hoshizora from Love Live. I feel like Airy is one of those underrated sculpts, her kitty smile is so cute! I had a chance to play up the kitty look with this faceup since Rin has a similar expression sometimes.…
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…
One last faceup from the early summer batch – I did another DDH-16 custom, this time a pouty boyish dragon themed head. It’s fun to work on two of the same sculpt simultaneously since it’s easier to see how much difference the faceup painting has on expression and mood! Since I decided to rehome…
I’m slowly catching up on my faceup projects here! Featured next is DD Yui Hirasawa, a girl released in 2010 that I just got around to repainting. I picked up her head/body from Mandarake a while ago, and realized that she looked very cute on MDD body! So my plan for her faceup was to…
I find it most efficient to do a couple faceups at the same time, so while I was repainting Maria and Mariko I also painted up a SWS DDH-22 head. I didn’t have a clear plan when I originally acquired her but after sketching out a few ideas I settled on a jade dragon theme.…
