I think I finally found a faceup style that I’d really like to aspire to; when i look at mangas and graphic novels, i always gravitate towards those that look more sketch-like, to me they feel romantic, like there was a human being capable of both greatness and error who made those lines and the randomness of their pencil strokes makes me feel a bit more intimate to the subject matter they are trying to convey. Well, i still have a looong way to go in terms of faceups, but I don’t want to be an ‘artist’, the word is too big for me, i just like to tinker and experiment and that’s about it 😅

The faceup artist for Nightingale has agreed to open a few faceup slots for us! The faceup would take anywhere from 2 weeks to one month, and would cost $25. Spots are limited, though, so reserve yours quickly!

You can find more photos of Nightingale here

Working on the commission for @kookydolls. Thinking of molding the moose antlers I’m making for them, would be neat to cast them.

Final result! She’ll be on her way to @kookydolls this monday! The antlers are cast resin, I’ve got a transparent pair laying around waiting until I have time to work on those too.

Ultra-dramatic Fairyland F60 tan Chloe for @sabotendoll ♡ Client requested strong, arched brows in black and a pink to yellow gradient for the lips. From thinking about how to do a golden cut-crease eye look to getting the gradient to lay right this faceup was an adventure! Hopefully I’ll get more requests like this in the future :)

Eyelashes: Premium Black

Eyes: 16mm Oscar Doll Crystal Eye

Finished commission for @mejackel-bjd! Lil Soom Kremer. This shoot was a lot of fun. Crazy late-night ideas sometimes work out.

I’ve been on pins and needles waiting to hear about this guys, and I can finally show everyone.

I got 2nd place in the faceup contest!😲😲 I’m so proud of my entry, though I wish I’d submitted some better pictures of her. I hope the first place person (sour_dotz) doesn’t pick the Vincent sculpt 😣 bb boy is perfect for my Raphael 😍
