Dollieh Sanctuary

Ok, after an 11 hour painting session yesterday I've finally got my new Obitsu all painted up and decided on a name for her!

Echo Altace is a character of mine who doesn't necessarily match the doll, but it has a slight enough fit and the name is pretty, so I'm naming her after that one ^_^

I totally forgot to glaze the lips and nails though, so I'll be doing that in a minute after I post these pics...

Really once she was finished last night I thought I went a little too heavy handed on the body blushing, but when I took her outside and photographed her, the strong light washed out a lot of the detail in the pics. The paint job on her hands in particular is very detailed, but the sun took a lot of that away too.

Her makeup irl is pretty bronzy. Overall she turned out a lot better than I thought she would for my first doll paint! I thought it would be harder, but I guess my experience with oil, watercolor and digital paint helped me here more than I imagined it would.

Also... think I did something(s) wrong putting her back together... it was harder than I thought it would be and her left foot keeps spinning around loosely. The ankle joint is tight, but the horizontal spin on it is loose. Plus I think I may have mixed up the upper arms, so I may have to repaint both of those T_T

Out of all the eyes that I made her, the ones that fit, i didn't like with her look, so I used a pair of flatback eyes I got from Suntek, one of a 4 pack for $2.29, so they look a lot better than I imagined they could being so cheap! http://www.suntekstore.com/goods.php?id=15007794

Boy you have just jumped on in!!
I love her face- what a great job
what did you use to seal her and how does it feel compared to when you got her?
I am afraid to do a faceup body blush because of how the seal will look/ feel.

Nnniiiiiccceee! 50cm obitsu yay! Her hands look scary real but I love it

Thanks you 2!
hehe yeah, I tend to do that mica. Usually results in some minor catastrophies, but I seem to learn better that way. So I'm surprised I didn't have any big screw-ups on this.

I used ZM Finishing Powder spray UV cut. Feels pretty much the same way it felt before I painted her. Like OkamiKodomo said, has a nice tooth to it, so kind of has a slightly rough feel.

It's important to shake it well before spraying or it will be tacky for a loooong time. Also make sure to hold the spray more than 6 inches away and let layers dry adequately. (doesn't really take long, just maybe 2 minutes. The spray has a lot of alchohol in it) If you spray a layer too thick you could end up with drips. I did end up with one small line on one of the inner thighs because I sprayed too thick.

Drips or an awful mottled effect. Happened with an Island Doll girl I was painting, using testor's. Spray too close, and the particles get sorta stuck together.

But she looks great, Dirili! Love the pink wig XD

XD Thanks Okami!
Oh yeah, that wig is from Suntek also lol. Forgot to mention that with the eyes.

You did a great job. I think she looks wonderful. <3

She looks great >_<

XD Thanks you 2! I just wish the detail showed up better in the pictures.

You know, I think the color actually faded today too... Does color sometimes fade when the fixatives finish fully setting?

Alright you've made me decide I gotta get back to practicing face up's. It's like face up season around here and I'm getting inspired. Time to find the next victim-I mean volunteer.
