Simmering Gray

Posting these because I want to be DONE because I am TIRED of looking at your STUPID FACE, JER. >:O

Mew Mew Mauve

Finally finished these!

I took them in… September. So, uh, good job, me. n_n

Pumpkin in the Garden

Test drive.

I recently had MiMi repainted, and I’m still trying to decide if the new faceup is going to work out. It’s an incredibly well-done one, with fantastic linework; I love the eyebrows, the painted eyelashes, and her applied white eyelashes.

What I can’t quite get used to is how heavily she’s blushed, and I quickly found out that in person, painted “skin texture” is not for me. She seems overdone compared to the simpler, clean and stylized look of my other dolls, and I keep mistaking the “skin texture” for dust or mold and trying to brush it off.

I want to be fair to her, though, and give myself time to think about what I want to do – if I can get used to the new look or if I should start searching for a different faceup artist and try again. The best way to do that was to start photographing her and see how I felt. I’m really in love with her, but I think that’s a product of it being MiMi (the Tsugumi sculpt, her eyes/wig combo, her personality) more than anything.

So I haven’t figured out just what to do yet…

Cross to Wear

Some Vincynt doodles.

I liked this outfit a lot and probably should have taken better photos of it, but I had been dragging my feet on doing that for weeks. Everyone else had gotten outfit changes and were looking a little more ready for spring/summer weather, and this felt so… wintry. (Totally in-character for him, but wintry.) That, and I’d gotten some stuff in the mail I wanted him to wear instead.

So I took some quick photos as a memorial and changed everything out. Maybe when cooler weather rolls back around, I’ll revisit it.

Pensive Periwinkle

Doodles from a few weeks ago.

I wanted to change V into a fresh outfit, but I’d gotten so many new things for her recently that I stalled out on what, exactly, I wanted her to wear. Nothing seemed to suit my mood. So I borrowed Justyn’s periwinkle shirt and built an ensemble around that. Its oversized fit made her look even more melancholy than normal, I think, which I guess is what I needed.
