I was kind of distraught that Bratz released their first cyborg Bratz doll through a fashion collaboration, Gentle Monster, since the price was definitely out of reach for me.
However, I had a friend, @doll_pants, who found a damaged Gaenna body and sent it to me as a wedding present so I was really overjoyed at owning a small piece of an elusive doll.
Of course it came without a head so I actually dug through my Bratz parts box to find the right base doll. I honestly am ignorant to the subtle differences between Bratz sculpts but after carefully examining UV sculpt heads and original sculpts, I can see the sculpting quirks being a lot nicer when held in comparison.
It's why I settled on this older Cloe head rather than buying a new Bratz doll since it really felt obvious how much nicer this sculpt looked compared to the UV sculpt.
I've never done a Bratz reroot in my life, but I was surprised Cloe's scalp paint had rooting guide lines and that it was spaced pretty evenly compared to other dolls I've done. I also used a heatpad and it helped make the provcess go by quickly. As for the hair itself, I just followed the rooting pattern and I was surprised how thin the overal hair was but it was made up by how much hair went into the parting.
As for the face up, I must admit I am intimidated by @lolliword and their paint style, but I wanted to do my own take on their style since I really like how unique it is.
Since Gaenna doesn't have eyebrows I wanted an eyeshadow that matched her hair and it was pretty purple heavy until I put her head on the body and decided to add silver to bring her body more into the design.
I really do feel out of my element with Bratz customs but I'm really proud of how Gaenna turned out and I like how my face up complements the amazing body.
