Skye

I finally finished my last custom for 2011. I meant to post photos earlier but X-mas got in the way :)

She is a heather sky with a rerooted scalp by Immunoblythe. Our inspiration for her was a bit of Tara McPherson and my art.

She is probably the hardest custom I have ever worked on because of all the details in her mask. While painting over the airbrushed eyeshadow I had to make sure that I kept everything symmetrical because if I messed up it would ruin the paint underneath and I would have to redo everything. Luckily it all went smoothly.

Yay! Now it's time for a little break from dolls while I focus on some much needed painting. I will be at it again soon, so keep an eye out for my updates :)

Little swirls begin to take shape

Last custom of the year

Teal and ruby red make such a lovely combination :)

This doll is for Immunoblythe. We were inspired by the colors Tara McPherson uses in her paintings and my swirly masks. I can't wait to start painting the mask, it's going to sparkle ;)

Update:

I just painted in the lips.

Tattoo

I just need to seal it and this doll is done :)

Detailing

This part was hard. I had to be super careful because if I mess up around the eyes I can ruin the paint underneath. Luckily this was a success.

Painting lips

Just water, acrylic and a brush. I love doing this part :)

Update:

Finished the lips, yay!

Working on my 7th DOTD doll

Dia de los Muertos Custom #6

I finally finished this little gentle ghost. The faceup and chest tattoo were done by me and the amazing thermal re root was done by hello miss.quito.

She turned out to be so sweet :)
