My trio is complete
I haven't posted any doll photo here in literally ages, so let'd change that!
So first I'll introduce Mugi, from what I've been calling the Munchkin line (around 42cm)! She came to my mind on December 2022 after my brother mocked me on Christmas about always making dolls that looked melancholic.
I had been wanting to make an MSD doll for a long time, but never found motivation nor inspiration. Quickly after starting Mugi, I made a bunch of heads (it happens once in a while, I get a "frenzy" and I start a few heads or dolls all at once, then some get stored because I don't find them interesting anymore š« ) I started naming them all with names starting with M, so there is Mugi, Momo, Mei Fang (or MeiMei) and Minette.
Still, Mugi was my favourite of those, so it's the one I've focused on finishing.
Mugi next to Fang, since my idea is that Mugi looks good next to my Juvenille line (small SD). It will be the first time that I make a new doll line that has the same scale as another of my lines. So she can be a little sister!
Tumblr doesn't let me add more pictures, so I will make another post with more of her and the other dolls I am currently working on soon š
Extra: This drawing I made of Mugi š«¶
Love my latmeria from depths dolls
Shoe Child is so incredibly fake-woke. the fact he revealed a doll called Pride only a few days after pride month is quite disgusting to be honest. I don't mind the doll having acne, but why name it Pride??? I thought that if he made a doll called Pride it'd be either a really insensitive caricature of a butch lesbian or an even more insensitive caricature of a trans woman. but what I find even more gross is how he pretends to care about people with disabilities, but completely overlooks the fact that July is DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH. but then again, the little medical supplies available for the dolls are incredibly inaccurate, and it's hard to believe he did more than 5 minutes of research. the prosthetic leg is neither functional nor does it look cool. the insulin pump and glucose monitors are something you can find in the first google search but something I have never seen on an actual diabetic person (specifically about the placement of the glucose monitor). in the past he has used hearing aids and cochlear implants as interchangeable terms. and who could forget him openly lashing out at a disabled individual for having difficulties putting his shittily designed dolls together and stating that if they couldn't do it, the dolls aren't made for them. all heavily reeks of ableism. sorry for the messy rant.

Question to the comminity - has anyone tested (beside me) the new Purity Seal? Its called Munitorium Varnish.
My Games Workshop guy told me that its basically the same as Purity Seal, except that they got rid of the weird dusting/frosting effect that was present in several batches of Purity Seal in the last year.
While that in itself is really nice - there are two things that Iām not completely happy with. One - they made it more expensive. PS was 13,40⬠before, MS is 15,50⬠now for 400ml.
And two-
In case you canāt read it: āDANGER. Contains Acetone. [ā¦]ā
The rest of the bottles is exactly the same. Iāve read that when I was home, and my first though was āFuuuuck.ā ⦠second though was āFuck it, Iāll test it.ā
So well, I did. first on a headcap, then on a head - my new Venitu, to be precise.
So, result? It doesnāt cloud, its not shiny, it doesnāt leave a weird powder-y surface after drying (which I had with PS sometimes). It gives a really nice texture to work on; nothing too coarse, but grippy enough to be able to finish a face-up with only 3 base layers and 3 layers in the end. My watercolor pencils donāt chip of the sealant (which I also had sometimes with PS), but instead make crisp, clean lines, and pastels stick pretty well to it too.
My guess is theyāre using the Acetone to dissolve the actual sealant better when youāre shaking the bottle, so it evaporates when you spray it. I havenāt noticed anything weird happening to the resin; my Venitu still has a slight texture in the resin, so it didnāt melted (as far as I can see).
So, all in all - a better version of Purity Seal, as far as I can tell. Just with Acetone in it, so-⦠I guess the only thing you really shouldnāt do is drown a resin piece in sealant, but no one would actually do that.
Iām planning on doing a full face up on my cocoa skin momonita. Tested it tonight on her head back.
It did not lighten the color of the resin like what Vallejo, MSC, or ZM spray. No powder residue. A tad bit shiny, so Iām worried if I do too many layers. And by shiny it reminded of how the bare resin looks. I only noticed it under bright light at certain angles.
The BIG huge WONDERFUL thing I found with it... my water colors do not bead up on it. On regular PS, I couldnāt paint with watercolors at all. Itās one reason I started using Vallejo. I think for tan dolls Iāll use the new PS. I still prefer the Vallejo for fair skinned dolls.
Transformation
<p>I think Iāve settled on the name Codie for her. Her wig is complete and I like it.
My mindulrae head arrived this week and I painted her. I donāt feel like I do her justice. The sculpt is beautiful!
Look who arrived!
Magical girl Yendi
Not sure which version I like better
She makes me so happy
The world could use more POC magical girls āØšāØ
Yes, yes it could! But in the meantime I hope you make sure your girl is posted a lot, because she really makes a string argument for more POC magical girls.
Oh Yendi will be posted frequently. Now that sheās closer to what I want her to look like, we are just waiting on her blue frappzilla wig.
Here everyday look is yellows and warm colors. Sheās also collecting a lot of wigs to alternate. Her magical girl will be blues, white, and pink. I *wish* I could get a couple more cocoa face plates to make some alternate looks...
