I saw a few others do this, and a friend of mine mentioned that a lot of people don’t check fanfiction or Ao3 more than 3 times a year, so I thought I’d post this here for them ^ _ ^ (There may or may not be future updates on here, we’ll see how well this goes over...)

This is my Kurama Taeyang Wip along with my Sailor Venus Pullip! This whole craziness started when I began writing a kuranako fic
⁄(⁄⑅ॢ⁄˃̶͈̀⁄௰⁄˂̶͈́⁄⑅ॢ⁄)⁄
I wanted a Kurama Taeyang to go with Sailor Venus, but the don’t make them ;-; So, I made my own! When I got to this part, my buddy @cursedronin had encouraged me to post this (2 months ago... I can’t help it when I get nervous!) so here I go!
So this is what I’ve got so far, I wasn’t happy with the wig I made, though it was my first attempt, so I’m working on another that I might post later on. And if you couldn’t tell from the first image, this is NOT a professional job XD Because I watch a lot of Dollightful on youtube (She’s so awesome! I was inspired to do all this after binging all her vids) I took pics of the materials I used when putting him together. https://www.youtube.com/c/Dollightful
I got the body from an Ebay listing sold by pullipstyle: Taeyang (boy Pullip) MIO Make It Own Kit for customization in US. They have a few different ones, but for Kurama I got the Taeyang one.
For the face here’s a list of materials:
Water Colored Pencils - Faber Castell
Pastels - Mungyo Hand-Rolled Soft Pastels
Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor Sable Brush-Round #1, 1
Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor Sable Brush-Round #5, 5
Sealant - Mr. Super Clear UV Flat by Mr. Hobby (wear a mask and spray in a ventilated area!)
So I like to give props to my dolls (I’m trying to make the Crystal Sword for Sailor Venus, and already made her a chain, though it’s the Love and Beauty Shock one, which I like more) I decided to make Kurama’s Rose Whip to go with him! (Forewarning though, if you use florist tape, the green likes to come off onto the softer plastic of the dolls hand)
I just went on Amazon and found these for it.
KUUQA 4 Rolls 1/2" Wide Floral Tape
Mandala Crafts Anodized Aluminum Wire in 18 Gauge, Kelly Green
The wire wasn’t very thick, so I had to make three long braids and braid those together to get my end result.
This becomes his hair!
Again I just went on Amazon and found this:
Lion Brand Yarn in Cincinnati Red (Yarn MUST be 100% acrylic or styling it with a flat iron will melt it, any brand is fine) I made the wig based on Mozekyto’s guide for making yarn hair!

Now this one was funny! So a lot of people either print off or color a piece of cardboard and cut it to size for the chips in the eyes. But Sailor Venus has sparkly eyes and I wanted a similar luster to Kurama’s! So, I found this shimmery chip bag! (Yes, it’s goofy but it works!) Another thing that could’ve worked is stickers, shiny wrapping paper, or just nice sparkly paint.
So here is! All put together but no wig or clothes! (Thankfully he has that Ken doll bod or I’d get censored, for sure) His eyes are so sparkly! For his clothes, I looked around on Etsy and found these cute listings by HelloCoolCat
Taeyang Doll Simple Long Sleeves Tee - Color: J39. TC-4 Pink
Taeyang Doll Long Jeans Color: J23．TJ-2 Deep Blue (These actually have a cute little snap button in the front!)
Yay! Now he’s coming together! (Yes, that’s a coat hanger bent to hold him up, I don’t have an extra doll stand yet XD) But now with the wig on, he’s got some pretty soulless eyes... >_>
Thankfully with these tools, I was able to give him some eye shines and he becomes less scary! (Yes, that’s a straw with a bit cut out of it, and yes, that’s my Sailor Chibimoon mechanical pencil, it had the perfect size ball to make circles on his eyes XD As long as I wash off the acrylic paint, it’s fine)
I used Apple Barrel Gloss white acryllic paint for the eyeshines.
It’s not an exact match, of course, so I’m continuing to work on it and hopefully post better pics in the future! (And maybe actually get a background that isn’t my little cupboard door on a stool, lol)
I want to thank @alicezap and Usami-chan (MeilinLuo13) for making materials for this cute couple and inspiring me <3
