Dollieh Sanctuary

It's 3:30 in the morning and I finally decide I should put down the paintbrush.




This is Rhea. She is the Queen of Hearts for 2011. At the moment I still need some glazing on her, but I am also debating whether I should give her eyelashes. Most likely if I were going to do that I would go for some white lashes. Thick spikey black ones are also under consideration but I fear that might distract too much from the rest of the face. Her eyes are already kind of small and if handled incorrectly dark lashes would obscure them?

Ah yes. Lilly is still WIP as well but she will be done soon. I wanted to do a Valentines special though. Besides which, I don't have a normal toned body yet. Hopefully it will get here tomorrow!

hmmmm I've noticed I tend to paint really small eyes on the realistic sculpts. This one in particular calls for smaller eyes simply because they are already molded in. Not sure how other ppl paint large eyes on this one.

She looks amazing! I love your style. For eyelashes I'd think either thin, sparse black ones or white ones. Just my opinion.

Wow! She looks amazing!!

She's fabulous! Really different.

Nice work!

Wow! Very cool!

Very nice.

Thanks everyone! Yeah I was sitting around trying to figure out what faces I wanted to paint and the holiday hit me with some inspiration. So both Rhea (Queen of Hearts) and Stacey (Princess of Hearts) are painted and permed. I do need to take better photos of them though but I will do that tomorrow when I have better lighting.

You have an interesting style. For a moment there I kinda went "Queen Amidala!"

Extremely Impressive!!! I really like your style.
