A little break from doll customization

I can finally share with you this custom journal I've been working on. It's based on River Song's journal. I made it for my boyfriend who is a huge Doctor Who fan and gave it to him for X-mas. I found a bunch of tutorials online on how to make it. By the way I am also a huge Doctor Who fan.

Not a happy camper...

...and she has reason to not be happy, she's been crying so much her eyes and nose are red, lol! Just finished airbrushing this one, layer one complete. Now I need to add all her details and shading. At the moment she looks like she just walked into a MAC store and tried on the reddest lipstick she could find, hee hee. The lips will be toned down once I start adding the black shading :)


So happy with the way this one is turning out, I changed up the skull design a bit, makes her look fancy :)


P.S. sooooooooooooooo happy to be customizing again, I missed it!

Victoria's Doll

When moving day came, little Victoria forgot her doll in the attic. They had been playing tea time when Victoria's mother called her. In the hustle and bustle of packing, the poor doll had been misplaced and abandoned. The dusty old attic was full of old boxes and many spiders.
Terrified of spiders, the doll tried ever so hard to avoid them, but she eventually ran out of nooks to hide in.

Alone for so long that she lost all memory of her name, she became tired of hiding and decided to talk to the spiders.  To her surprise, she found out the  spiders were actually kind little creatures, who felt sorrow for all those years she sat in the dark corners of the attic, crying to herself. The doll and the spiders became friends. The spiders even made her a dress from their webs to replace the tattered clothes that had disintegrated over the years. Things were finally looking brighter for the little doll. With her new friends by her side, she dared to dream again. One day, some one would find her in the attic and take her home with them.


She will be up for auction later tonight, stay tuned and thanks for reading :)

Thursday night

Masking underway. This part takes so long!!! I added toothpicks so I can hold and rotate the hands while I spray them.

Update

Just letting everyone know that in the coming week I'll be adding a bunch of framed prints to my etsy shop. I am finally getting around to making giclee prints of my Calavera customs and I am super excited about some oval frames I got for them. Also I currently have an original framed art piece in my shop featuring our favorite muse, Blythe.
