My First Mod!: Hujoo Suve (NOT for the faint of heart)

[paladinari]

So just yesterday, my adopted Hujoo Suve arrived from Lamia of the Dark. I thought she was adorable, but I wanted to give her a more custom look and make her look less... babylike (yes, I know that this is the aesthetic point of this particular doll). And so, I got up the courage to do my first mod!

Um... I don't have any fancy tools around here, just my ingenuity. But I think that it worked out just fine ^.^*

Mods: I gave the ears adorable little pixie points. I also widened the eye holes to not only even out the openings (Has anyone else noticed that Suve has two different sized eyes? I saw this mentioned a few times in reviews!) but to make them a little less "squinty" as well. And... I just love big, beautiful eyes on dolls!

Tools: (stop reading now if you're a hardcore dremel-afficionado and/or mod purist!) metal nail file, wooden nail file (rough and fine grain), synthetic nail file (rough and fine grain), cuticle cutter.

Hey, it worked.

The picture is a little blurry, but all the shapes are there. More pictures soon of the finished doll! She gets a faceup tomorrow! (also another "first" for me)

Good for you! I can't wait to see her all finished!

Hey, it worked.

And that's all that matters!

She looks really good. I was a little hesitant to look at first when I read, "Not for the faint of heart," because I wasn't sure what to expect, but she looks great.

Wow! Nice!

[Lamia of the Dark]

She looks really good. I was a little hesitant to look at first when I read, "Not for the faint of heart," because I wasn't sure what to expect, but she looks great.

Yeah, I thought she meant a gore mod or something

The widened eyes look good though~!

She looks great! Nicely done for someone without a dremel/whatever other tools people usually use.


I LOVE the elf ears!

(XD; I thought it was a gore mod too.)

[Trethowan]

hey, I was expecting gut-covered zombies.

that said, it looks great!

[paladinari]

Hehe, thank you everyone! I'm glad that no one came back with, "What have you done!?" ^.^*

It's been a really good learning experience. Now if only I could finalize the faceup! Apparently I have more of a talent for this than I thought, but they seem to be so much fun to do and I can't seem to decide which I like best

(And no, no gore mods for me! Only cute things. Mostly elfy things...)
