Dollieh Sanctuary

Pardon the girls' nudity, they're still drying here.

I hope this is the right place for this, since these girls are part of my 1:6 scale crew. Which is also my only crew, really, but I digress.

I started these back during late summer using Mr. Super Clear, chalk pastels, and watercolor pencils, but then the weather took a bad turn and IR isn't looking to get better before next spring, maybe even next summer. So I decided to see how my unsteady hand did with acrylic paint . . . Not as bad as I thought.



The pink haired girl is Reini and the other one is Sheen. Yes, Sheen has color on her lips, it's just very faint lavender. They're not perfect, a close-up of Reini's eyes reveals how wonky they really are, and Sheen's eyebrows refuse to be even, but I'm mostly happy. Reini isn't as wide eyes as her character would normally be, but at least she has eyes. I've been reluctant to take pictures of these two or sew much for them since they had no faces, but now they're at least good enough for some distance shots. Hopefully there will be more pics of them coming soon.

This is just barbie nudity. I didn't think that was NSFW.

You've done a better job than I ever managed to do on my own dolls. (I could paint just fine for others who weren't too picky)

Some people's are touchy, even with vaguely shaped lumps of plastic. Plus, Reini DOES still have a trace of the nipples her doll originally had before I took some sandpaper to her. Poor thing constantly looked like she was in a cold room . . .

I've painted over some dolls' eyes or repainted their lips before, but I'd never done an actual repaint with acrylics. I'm honestly kind of proud, even if it isn't great.

As a side note, at least one of my cats is dumb enough to lick wet paint and drink paint water more than once.

Pretty girls

Very nice job.

Yeeeah. I've fixed the cold room look on all my Asian dolls. I guess I can't see where she got repaired.

Oh mercy. Doofus kitties.

Yeah, the perpetual "Is it cold in here or is it just me?" look doesn't really suit Reini's character . . . She and one of my Integrity Toys girls got the sandpaper treatment. Sheen got lucky, she's so flat chested she doesn't have that problem. The joys of being an adult who who topped out at 4'9" and therefore ended up on a 21 cm child sized body.

My Obitsus are all the soft chest, so sandpaper didn't work on them. The poor things had surgery instead.

Awww. I've characters like that, but none of them have become physical dolls. Well, one did, but she wasn't on an Asian body, and she doesn't live here anymore.

I thought about a soft bust for Reini, but she likes pink and bright colors too much, I knew she would stain.

LOL My main Obitsu doll of the family likes strong colours, but I've managed to get her through around ten years of life with only a few light temporary stains from a dollar store dress.

But I hear you on the concerns. The 25 cm Obitsu elf and the elderly 60cm girl haven't anything decent to wear yet because I'm afraid of them staining.
