Sorry for my lack of activity here; I’ve been mostly online on phone lately and the tumblr app is glitchy for me there even at the best of times :/ I’ll be answering comments to previous photosets posted on here later (very overdue I know).
Anyway, this is another one of those dolls I got sent off for face-ups, then never did anything with. He was bought during a super sale at junkyspot some years ago, as I’d seen a few Monos with custom face-ups that looked great, and the deal was too good to pass up. Just the other day I put him in the “magic wig” (he’s now doll #4 sharing it), and he just looked amazing? I’m going for something like this for his wig (I’ll be making him one with bangs for sure, either chin length regular or chin length stepped), and I’m thinking preppy style; navy and dark blue suits, wine red shirts, bow-ties probably. Or possibly something akin to the fashion by Wazigen Shizukuya. I might make one of each and see what looks the best, or he might wear both styles.
Now I need to find him a name oops, and then a character.
I find I care more for the OCs I make directly for my dolls, rather than dolls shelled as pre-existing OCs (the exception being Kess, who’s my all time favourite girl anyway). I think it might be a mixture of the fact that dolls rarely fit my vision for my pre-existing OCs 100%, and that a lot of my OCs are old as balls and far more “perfect” than I’d like. Quite a lot of them are a bit Mary-Sue ish.
