NotDoll Heads Relisted! :)

I didn't realize I could post an eBay auction in the DoA marketplace. Because I'm smart like that. XD At least now they'll get some more attention.

Relaxing

I believe Dollshe will come through for me. No more "soon" or "we'll let ya know". I was told I would have a working tracking number next week, and I really think they will stick to it. Now it's time to try and calm down and quit checking their site every five minutes. I'm thinking this doll will really bring me some peace.

NotDoll Heads Up For Sale!!

Ligaya Head

Argeia Head

This was my first time posting something for sale on eBay so I felt kind of dumb not knowing how much to charge for shipping and stuff lol But anyway, I hope somebody buys them and enjoys them. :3

Repainted Ligaya Head

I figured since I'm going to try and sell my other 2 NotDoll heads, I better give Ligaya (the first one I did) a better faceup XD. My new pastels and brush make their debut as well. Didn't use the new brush as much as I thought I would do.

This is the old faceup.

 Here are the blushed layers.

Oooooh, new things

Yesterday I went on a bit of a shopping spree. First I got boxes so I can immediately ship my doll heads whenever I put them up for sale, and they get sold. Where I live there is a Michaels, Hancocks, and thrift store all right next to each other. Among other things, I got dark fabric to start making some gothic clothes for my Belladonna, a pair of nice shears since I have literally been using our kitchen/everyday scissors for cutting fabric, and some more black thread. Then at Michaels I got some forty dollar Rembrandt soft pastels for thirteen dollars, and I also managed to find a brush even smaller than the one I use, although I don't think it's quite as small as a signature brush. I can't think of everything else because it's been sitting in the bag since yesterday. Got called into work on my day off so I couldn't repaint my extra heads, and I've spent the majority of today swimming, eating, and again, working. Whenever I get an outfit together I'll post the photos.

Belladonna, Success! Finished!

I am extremely pleased right now. I have chosen to keep the Belladonna head, who will creatively be named Belladonna. :)

With her old face up I tried to paint her as a geisha. I like the idea of blushing the sides of her face darker so it really looked like she had white paint on, but I was lazy when I did it, so it didn't turn out so well.

This is her old face up.

Just wanted to show how little the paintbrush is I'm working with. It still really isn't as thin as I need it to be, but since it's longer than the other little brushes I have it worked better for running long thin lines.

And ta-da! Every person needs a gothic bjd girl. :D

And now the dreaded part, stringing her so her head will actually be attached. The NotDoll body really is lovely, though.

Finished! I will probably nitpick over it later, but I really am quite happy with the results. Also, to know which head I will be keeping is nice.

Jin Character Sheet

Out of all the ones I found, I find this one most amusing. XD It also has good details for his glasses which I'll most likely have to make myself.

Week 31

of waiting on my Dollshe order. Not doing a whole lot else.

Found the Perfect Wig

...and of course it was a limited edition one from Leeke. And the ordering period has been over for a month. :( There is one similar with shorter pieces at the front, but it's not quiiiite the same. Dang. Adieu LR-092.

Guess I'll Post the Photos Anyway

These were taken like five seconds before I reached over and tried to remove a tiny fleck of white paint and part of her eyelid blushing came right off ;n;

Since I've been in a very Asian mood, I continued the same theme from my last headcap. This one was painted from a ukiyo-e painting I found on Google. Love, even if you can't see it when she is wigged. XD

This photo isn't super good, but I took it last night right after I finished so there wasn't a lot of good light.

Overall I'm still pretty pleased, but I'll just have to try and fix it sometime. TwT For now I'm just moving her wig over a little bit further to hide it. Bleh.
