W.I.P. shot of CH Stella - Updated 11/15

She's truly gorgeous, I love the eyes especially. I have an Elfdoll June on a Customhouse body, and it's my favorite of all the bodies. Particularly because the breasts look so realistic. What is it wit h most doll manufacturers making the breasts look like half-grapefruit glued to the chest? Shades of Michelangelo -- he couldn't sculpt breasts either!!

I would gladly replace all my girl bodies with CH if only there were the funds...??!!

Your face-up skills are amazing. I'm just finally getting to the point where I feel at least happy with mine but I'm still not sure when it comes to eyebrows, those eyebrows are so well done! I also really like the inside corners of the eyes, the blushing there makes it all very realistic. I hope you post more of your work!

She is lovely. You really are amazingly talented.

Wow! She reminds me of a starlet from the golden age of Hollywood. The glossed lip lines are such an interesting touch, I like that effect a lot.

]Claywimmin - I agree with you about the breast sculpts being so odd in most dolls. I like a variety of shapes just for kicks but CH has some of the most beautiful body sculpts. They are idealized in a nicely curved manner. Someone once pointed out to me though that they also disliked the grapefruit sculpts at first but came to realize the sculpt worked for more well endowed characters who looked like they were wearing bras underneath their clothes instead of going loose. I find I agree with this P.O.V. though I usually prefer my dolls less well endowed.

BlackDragon - Pshhh...lol. I know you did the faceup for the little one in your avatar so I dont know why you don't feel comfortable with your own abilities. I will post more work as soon as I can.

EAB - You were there when I first started lol. It's almost been a year. Thanks so much for your kind words. I think i'm improving so hopefully I will continue to get better.

Sorean - THanks! I like subtlety so selective glossing seemed the right way to go. I think it all depends on what look you're going for and I tend to like things softer.

I absolutely LOVE both of the faces! You always do so awesome on your faceups, even if it is just pastel XD.
