So. I need to do some face ups, but it's been awhile. I thought I could jump straight back in, but haha, nope! That did not go well. I decided it was best to practice on something else to get back in the swing of things. I found these two Rainbow High heads I had started back some years ago and hoped for the best.
Tbf, I didn't do too much to this Bella repaint wise since she was mostly done already. I did have to go over the eye lash lines and woo boy. Maybe I should practice with calligraphy instead XD I also screwed up the paint when reinserting the eyes.
(man everything looks so chunky here) I repainted the eyeliner and scraped off the excess with a toothpick. It's still noticeable in person, but eh. Nothing's ever perfect.
I wasn't sure I was going to like her outcome and considered putting her up for sale, but I think I'm happy with her now. Finally!
Years ago when Bella Parker first came out I was smitten with her promo photos because I loved the soft pink and faux Channel suit. A friend helped me get her and I was so happy! But as time went on I started to feel.. underwhelmed? Something wasn't clicking for me (which is something I've felt with most RH despite their better quality and design compared to other dolls at the time).
One day, I decided to do something drastic to the pale pink Bella. I painted her lips black!: https://www.tumblr.com/zaksdolls/650441822922063872/some-really-quick-doll-stuff-done-right-now-i and then I was unsure how to proceed. If I went full goth then I'd have to make her a whole new look and I wasn't really up for that either. So she was stuck in limbo. But then after some RH commissions I decided to take the leap and repaint my own. That fire lasted all for one month before being stored away for years, haha.
But this was fun. And while I didn't do too much repaint wise, it was still nice to remember how to do doll things again and I really do like how she came out. She looks like a little rebellious nepo baby that stirs shit at Thanksgiving dinner. XD
