Yay for Progress--New Face-Ups!

Golly. When I did Zelda's face-up about 8 months ago, I felt like it was a huge improvement over the few bjd-style face-ups I'd done in the past.

Well, now she's looking pretty bland next to the floating heads I just finished!

Introducing, Big Ghaleon:

And Big Rau:

Of the two of them, I think Rau turned out the best. :) But yeah. Pretty big improvement, I think. I think I'm almost close to the point where I'd feel comfortable taking commissions.
And now I need to redo Zelda's face-up! But I'm completely out of MSC. :P Hopefully more of my Tae heads will sell so I can afford to get some more... I needs my MSC fix! :lol:

I really like the eyebrows and eyelashes. The eyelashes are such fine, straight lines!

Heehee, thanks! :) I tried doing those with dry media, just pastel and prismacolor pencils, with a smidgen of mica powder.

Great improvement! I like how you brought out their sculpt details with your blushing.

Very awesome! I <3 Ghaleon of course. ^__^ What type of eyes is he wearing? Those are awesome and seem so perfect for him.

They all look great! :D I especially love how you drew on Rau's eyelashes, I swear they make his eyes look even bigger!

Gift: Thank you! :D <3

Sixoclock: Heehee, thankies! :3 The Ghaleon is irresistible. >w< He's wearing some 18mm or 16mm red acrylics from JS. Not sure if there's a brand name or not. I actually got some red glass "cat" eyes in for him the other day, and I think they suit him even better than the JS ones. Need to remember to take another photo before I gotta head back to university this weekend! ^-^;

Soapbubbles: Thanks a lot! :D Rau's eyelashes are still making me giddy when I glance at him. :3 Kinda amazed I got such a nice result from such simple tools!
