Recently (in a plan that took over a year in the making) sunsetway and I gifted impishfox with a fully loaded (i.e. wig, eyes, outfit, etc) doll in a gesture of gratitude for all the help she's given us in getting our own doll families together. She is trying to act like she never saw it coming. XD

Since I did the faceup, I am ganking a photo to put on here. You can click on it to see the rest of her photos. :)




I am slowly getting the hang of my new materials, though I am fighting against the pastels turning out grainy. I think that actually has a lot more to do with how clean my working surface is and how well the MSC lays down more than the pastels themselves. A new brush would probably also help. On the bright side, eyelashes are so much easier now.

Well, the last three faceups I did were out of my house before I had a chance to get any pictures of them (perhaps mercifully?!), but tasu has taken some pictures of her Ayumu with my work here. If I remember right, she asked for bratty, punky yet natural, and monochrome. Yeah, that's it. XD

edit: tamayaki gave me pictures to post of hers! ( Naoya - BF Jerome )

Anyway I have a whole new collection of reasons why I should never take commissions for money, not the least of which being my very low threshold for pain, so when I am hurting from an illness or arthritis or whatever the last thing I want to do is spend hours bent over a doll head failing at itty bitty eyebrow strokes. :P Fortunately, everyone I've worked for has been uncommonly patient with me, and I am really grateful for that. I also really enjoy the opportunity to practice and work on others' dolls so I'm glad they aren't totally turned off by the idea of commissioning me in the future.

So yeah. You guys are great!

(in related news, I am sick to my stomach again... haha whyyy)

Since it is winter break, I am offering free faceups for dollowners local to Arizona for practice/to build up a portfolio after I finish up my stuff for impishfox. :B This is my commission post!
