The Legend of Face-ups
Posted: Sat Jun 07, 2014 11:45 am
Hey everybody, been a while! Finally having a lull in the whole anxiety/depression/anxiety thing so I figured I'd share some "new" stuff while I still feel good.
Last summer I went on a small face-upping binge. These have all been uploaded on my flickr account for a while now, so apologies if you've already seen them.
Ilia, my Bobobie Ophelia. She's a third or fourth-hand doll that I love to pieces, especially after I finished her face! I'm pretty proud of this face-up, it's got character while still looking soft and natural.
My BBB Weylin, Link. He was my first *big* doll, we've had our ups and downs together, but this face-up is definitely a big "up." ^-^
Marle, a floating FantasyDoll Nina head. I'm pretty happy with this face-up for now, though I'd like to do one with a little more character later. But first she needs her right hair, eyes and body. And those things take money. Also I'm really picky about getting her the right body--I want chubby, but there's no SD bodies fat enough out there, yet. So I wait.
Zelda, my DF-A Ziluo/Impldoll Star hybrid. I love this face-up, but it doesn't photograph well. And she needs smaller, better eyes--these Dollmore eyes just don't work for her. :-/
Magus, my Mirodoll Thunder. Pretty happy with this face-up for now, but might redo it someday. Fantasy colored eyebrows are hard to get looking right on big dolls... Other things he demands: Longer, double jointed legs; clothes that aren't hand-me-downs.
Ghaleon, my DZ Wing-1/Fdoll hybrid.
Ah, Ghaleon.
Ghaleon, Ghaleon, Ghaleon.
I can never seem to get your eyebrows right.
Sigh.
Maybe 3rd time will be the charm, but I'm not ready to wipe this one just yet.
Here's one I have already wiped, my Hujoo/Fallindoll Rose. Who still needs a name.
I had a new face-up for her partially started, but I had to let it sit for 2 months while I did my final push to finish my MFA thesis addendum (which I got turned in on time! YASSSSS.)
And when I finally returned to it I decided I was going too heavy with the blush, plus it turned out I hadn't sealed the last layer of blushing before I left her to sit (ARGH) so yeah. Dusty, even though I covered her, so I gotta wipe and re-do.
Actually, her and 5 other heads.
I know.
ARGH times infinity.
=_=
My floating Impldoll Jimmy head, Test. This is another face-up I've already wiped. I was in a Studio Killers mood. Right now Test is wallowing on my desk waiting to be modded... For that is the fate of Test.
Finally my Dikadoll XueHua, Rau. This isn't a new face-up, I just wanted to get a photo of this before I wiped him. I fiiiinally got him a body, which is hella yellow (it was $100, skintone mismatches don't matter when the deal is that good) so I need to blush his head to match, at least under his chin to smooth out the transition.
So that's all for now, I'll probably update this thread as I get to work on redoing the work I let go to dusty ruin two months ago... But yeah, I don't know how to end posts.
*smoke bomb!*

Update 1:
Rau - Dikadoll XueHua by pandork, on Flickr
Second face-up for Rau! Happier with these eyebrows and lips, but wish I had been as liberal with the red around his eyes as I had been with the previous face-up. Hm, might add more and just re-gloss his lips after...
Also blushed him to match his very very yellow body. Yay!
