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.…
For my next faceup project, I decided to repaint my student Mariko head. I’ve painted a custom Mariko before but my own Mariko ended up in the faceup backlog until now. Before and after I ended up fussing a bit more with this one after I thought I was done also- I realized…
Nice weather is here again so I’ve been working on a batch of faceups from my wishlist. The first to end up completed is Maria Ushiromiya, an older MDD who’s been hanging out behind the scenes for a while. After some cleanup (her eyeholes were pretty roughly cut) she’s got a fresh new look! …

Continuing to work through my faceup backlog, I finally got to Len! I always thought that Len’s detailed lips deserved a more delicate rendering, so I ended up giving him a very femme faceup to go with the lips. Len is pretty cute on DDP body! And with this outfit from M+V Studio. The…
It’s been a while since I modified a factory faceup instead of starting over from scratch, but I wanted to try it with Liliru since her default faceup is pretty nice already. I liked her eyelashes so mostly I made changes to the eyebrows and mouth, with a few additive enhancements of highlights on the…
Time for a new pair of faceups! For the first time, Volks has released DD heads for their ‘Dolfie World Cup’ faceup contest, and the sculpts are cute enough I had to pick up both. With the current situation I don’t know if I’ll actually enter the contest, I just was in the mood for…
