The airbrush experiments continue! I blushed Padma's body this weekend, and was mighty proud of the results! I have learnt a lot about my airbrush as well - mostly what duel action can really do (and man, it can do it well!), and also that leaving paint in the nozzle for too long is very retarded. By too long, I mean more than a minute; you have to be super fast, because the acrylic can dry very quickly. It made the process time consuming, but overall worthwhile. I didn't have to waste as much MSC as I normally with, with just pastel blushing.

Anyways, here she is, nipples and all;



You can't see all of them, but her whole body is dotted with freckles :)

( More naked doll... )

Hello chums, been a while! I've finally finished a commission I've been sitting on for a while - I'm pleased with the modding results, but the face-up is so-so. I'm still kind of practicing with my airbrush, but it was a free face-up anyways, so meh.

This lovely Breakaway belongs to Wolfeclaw. I opened his eyes and gave him a face-up.


It's been a long while since I've done anything at all with my own dolls. Working a lot doesn't really help, although I did have time to do some re-stringing last weekend. What I would really like to do is have time to make more clothes for them all :/ but alas, I either have time or money, and not both unfortunately.

Whee, finished another commission! I'm pretty pleased with this one - the owner asked for a blue and silver cyber face-up, so I looked at some Giger paintings for inspiration :3 lets see how she turned out...



I also sanded her nose and upper lip a little.

I have also, FINALLY, ordered a motherf*@#ing airbrush! I cannot wait for it to arrive, its on dispatch at the moment >__< its like waiting for a doll, I'm so excited. I know airbrushes aren't the be all or end all of face-up tools, because there are some beautiful pastel ones out there - but to be honest, I like the texture of airbrushed face-ups more. Plus, its going to make body blushing a hell of a lot easier @_@;

As soon as it arrives, I'm going to start re-doing most of my dolls face-ups. Barry needs it desperately, as does Jin. Then I'm going to work on some of my secret projects >:] watch this space....

Finally got those pictures finished! Of all the dolls I've ever blushed, this senior delf has definitely been my favourite. His body is just so nicely sculpted, and I had a lot of fun adding blue veins to his hands and feet. Some of my best work yet :3 I can't wait to buy an airbrush so I can improve it even more.


The background is some random felting I did for my degree.

Speaking of the airbrushes, I really need to sell a lot more stuff before I can afford one. Curse my awesome but very low paid job >: I've actually been getting back into clothes making, which is something I've not done for a while. I've been doing so much research into historical costume, mostly for myself (I made a 15th century burgarain gown, it's fantastic) but its really inspired me for dorrie things. Especially corsets. I have a feeling Padma is going to be my new model, and she isn't going to like it... >:}
