This girlie might be one of my favorite customs I've made so far. Dark brown + pink is a slept on color combo!!

This was a "stock box" project, meaning I went in without any concrete design ideas except for general colors in mind.

She is available for adoption on my mercari!

My first ever lps custom!

As I said before this is Dodie’s cat :) It was really fun to look up all the references, I never say no to good kitty pics

Started this last weekend, first the paint wouldn’t come off at all. As I had to engage in capitalism during the week it was paused for a bit but as soon as I had time again I finished the rest within a day

I would say I am pretty happy with it considering all the malfunctions that came along the way, including our spray varnish first clouding and then the can almost exploding. But Mr. super Clear is already ordered and I have high hopes for it. There’s definitely a lot I learned on the way like patience is key in this (very hard), milliput is amazing (the whole ears were chewed up before) and my hands are more shaky than I remember. There are a few paw prints from me on there but mainly due to the varnish not drying properly because of the high humidity.

I think she will grow on me over time, I tend to be very critical of my own art right when I finished it.

My hands are already tingling to make the next one, this time I even dusted my desk!

I just finished my very first repainted LPS!

(she's also my first custom doll of any kind!)

See the "read more" for the making-of process:

I wanted to use an LPS I didn't really like for my first project, just in case I did a terrible job 😆

I never liked this bunny's smug expression:

First I stuck its head in a mug of hot water to soften the plastic and popped off its head:

Then I removed the factory paint with acetone:

Unfortunately I broke the neck peg trying to get it out of the head, but it was an easy fix with some cyanoacrylate super glue:

Then I repainted the body and head to be white. I used cheap Craftsmart multisurface acrylic paint, and drybrushed it on in many many layers... this part took SO long! I had to trust the process:

Finally, completely white! I added blush with chalk pastels:

And drew on a rough draft of the eyes with Inktense pencils. The paint created a nice drawable surface, no MSC required. But it was impossible to erase the pencil marks!

I moved to more acrylic paints and painted on the face and toe beans:

After letting the paint cure for 3 days, I added 3 layers of Liquitex Matte liquid varnish and 2 layers of Liquitex High Gloss varnish on the eyes. The varnish really helped lock in the paint, since I had to reheat the head and pop the neck peg back in after this step and none of the paint cracked at all!!

I have a bigger project I'm planning involving Monster High dolls, but I am going to keep practicing on LPS until I hone my repainting skills :D
