My Three Favorite Things! Dolls, Design, And Space! N_n

it’s a vow we make to each other; let’s wear rings of the same colour 

[image is a digital painting of riku, kairi, and sora getting married, all clutching starry bouquets and with matching expressions of joy and delight. kairi is jumping with her arms around her boys’ shoulders, holding her bouquet over her head; her dress is pink, with a wave pattern. sora is a dark suit with a red bowtie and cloud patterns on his lapels. riku is in a silver suit with a blue tie, and he’s reaching around the both of them to clasp sora’s shoulder.]

Finally got Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Brewster is still my fav. :)

Cornelius of the Ether Realm a.k.a Cornball

Yep, that's what I'm going with.

Quickie Giveaway!

For some reason, the pic post of the bigger Khoshehk sketch is going around again… and I’m getting a lot of asks about him.  He’s still not for sale, sorry.  The kittens still aren’t for sale either, as Commonplace Books still prohibits fan merchandise sales.  They’re giveaway only.

However, I will give away one of my last remaining kittens.  This one is a really stunning translucent green resin with blue pearl powder, which gives it the appearance similar to labradorite.  He had an unfortunate accident where I dropped him right on his little head and broke one of his horns, but it has been securely superglued and he’s in good spirits (not biting or hissing anymore).

Anyway, for a chance to win him, just reblog this post from the source (so I can see your response without having to go to your blog) and tell me what you would name him.

I’ll pick a winner on 4/1.  I’m not sure if it’ll be random or if I’ll pick based on names I like; I guess it’ll depend on what kind of day it is. 

I really appreciate the eyes on this little guy.

My coworkers: what you'd do with your long weekend?

Me:

So tumblr ate my post.

ANYWAY

Acetone doesn't work. Maybe soaking it might've, but I didn't want to risk shrinking/warping the head to find out.

A dab of Winsor & Newton brush cleaner, on the other hand, works very well. Even made it easier to magic eraser off the remaining bits. :)

Wonder if the gloss was what was resisting the acetone or the sort of paint they used. Maybe both.

Got the BTS dolls V and Jung Kook since they had the closest faces to the characters I'm going to use them for. Ordered them online since I didn't care that much how off the paint placement was but still a little sad I can't salvage much of it. LA's Totally Awesome did a good job getting rid of whatever product was in their hair, tho.

Tried to remove V's face first. Took 20min with a magic eraser just to get that much off his eye. :/ The rest is on the eye surface and underside of the lash line, so I'll just paint over it.

Luckily his lips seemed to only be two paint layers deep, so it took only a few minutes.

Will definitely be getting more of these boys when they go on sale if only for the sculpts alone.

Meet Sir Henry, my latest doll project.

Sir Henry's head used to be a pen decoration, his body is a 1/6th scale male fashion doll and I made his outfit.

I don't know where I got his boots, they're plastic and fit him perfectly. These cheap boots often come with a split at the back and I filled this split with Apoxy Clay, first time working with this sculpting material.

I love it! I think Apoxy Clay works very well, just like Fimo, but without the terrified step of baking, because it's air drying.

I also sculpted some faux screws, which I painted and later attached on his backpack.

Apoxy Clay consist of two components and I mixed a little to much; not to waste I used the remainder to sculpt some doll jewelry.

After glueing on the faux screws, his steampunk contraption is finished.

I made this backpack from all sorts of (left over) materials: cardboard, fabric, metal scrapbook and jewelry materials, all sorts of plastic caps and other small components. To give it the right look, I painted many of these parts with acrylic paint in copper and blue/green for the oxide.

For the decorations and faux buttons on his coat I used metal book corners and jewelry materials.

To give his boots and coat this old look, I used black and brown soft pastels.

I love my Sir Henry ♥️
