Just more shots of Clara now that she's done. I've named her after the little spotted Jellyfish in Kuragehime!!! Thanks to Justice M for letting me know about the show.

I'm so glad that she's complete with her eyes now! I wish that 16mm had been available, but alas, Volks had only 18mm in stock. I hollowed out her eyewells so that she would be able to wear the 18mm. I wonder if that weakened her faceplate's eyes structurally? I guess I'll find out.. @_@
Anyway, I really like how she turned out. I think she'll be some kind of hime-styled girl, or maybe lolita? I've always wanted a Dollfie Dream, but I've never been a fan of the idea of vinyl, so this really makes me happy. Maybe she'll do some cosplay as well!??!! :3

Faceups Done, No Success to Report... :(

I've finally finished the other two faceplates' faceups. The first is a mod on the closed-eye Latea faceplate. I wanted it to be very anime-and-art-like, kind of like a resin Dollfie Dream or the bjd version of Blythe. I plan on getting animetic eyes at some point, so that she doesn't look like O_O all the time. She will have oddly colored hair, as well, to amplify the anime effect (I hope). I opened her eyes with a Cera-kanna knife and sanded the edges, then sanded off a lot of her nose.

The Marion faceplate didn't turn at all how I'd hoped. The expression is too bleh, the palette too plain, but that's how she'll have to be for a while. I posted so much of the Latea faceplate last time that I didn't want to post her here - she still has the same faceup, so nothing new anyway.

I wish I had the money and the time to invest in an air brush, although with my poor faceup skills it might be a waste anyway. I've redone these faces a billion times and I can't seem to get it right.

I finally got them faceupped, sorry, no tutorial...I don't think I'm good enough to give advice yet lol. I was really frustrated, I think I actually got worse at doing eyebrows and lower lashes. I'm really considering sending them away for a commissioned artist to do, I'm just so frustrated with the way they turned out. I got many more worthwhile pictures out of the Latea faceplate than Marion, even though I feel more connected with the Marion's personality. Still no names... Any suggestions welcome? I'm thinking that they could both be characters from my in-progress book project....

I love the Zero default wig! It's so soft. The only problem is that it has a TON of flyaways....

Goodbye, Kurumi

I'm sending my beloved Kurumi away. The Unoa Zero's body and faceplates suit my dolly needs more at the moment. But Kurumi will always be a dream doll for me, and I'll get her again when I have more money in the future! I miss her already, looking at all of these pictures of her. T_T
