My First Doll Repaint!: Day One + Photos

Hey guys! Just a few days ago, I began getting obsessed with doll repaint/ customization videos by Dollightful. So, I started making some doll hair out of yarn. Now, little did I know then that in the next day or so (I'm not done yet...) I would completely bald, deface, and reroot and repaint a barbie doll. Now, wanna see pictures?

For this part, I tied off the dolls hair to save for my next repaint. After tying it off, I chopped it off. Between this step and the next one, I shave off the rest of her hair with scissors.
And this was the point of no return. In retrospect, I should have contemplated my decision to complete strip this doll of its identity and give it a new one. I used some acetone nail polish remover and for some of this, I had on a makeshift gas mask. Also, BROTHER CAMEO!
So, I finished wiping off the facial features and I removed the nylon head by soaking it in boiling water from the kettle for thirty seconds then worked it off with a towel and my hand. Then, through the neck hole, I pulled out the rest of the hair and glue, known as plugs. That was when I took a break for the day.



So, guys! I hope you enjoyed this post. I'll update you guys on my project as much as possible. When I finally finish this thing, I'll announce my next project. If you'd like some basic pointers, check out this playlist by you tuber Dollightful: First Repaint Tips
Stay Awesome! <3

The Best of the Best

It's a Beautiful Day Outside - Undertale Fanart

Image
Drawing Time: Approx. 2.5 Hours Characters: Frisk - Undertale sans - Undertale I slightly changed my way of drawing Frisk, but I'm kinda here for it. Sorry for the insane amount of Undertale fanart recently. It's just my favorite video game. I think it's important to note that I haven't done a genocide route before. I don't really like how I put Frisk in this drawing. They don't feel like they're in the scene. For once, I like the background the best. I don't want to talk about sans in this drawing... If I were to do this again, I'd probably make Frisk reflection be shown in the tile. I used so many add layers for this. I also experimented with Gaussian blur and motion blur. I used my normal shading tone for the base shading then did some overlaid multiply and add layers to do some coloration. Stay Awesome! <3

Unfinished Symphony - Dream SMP Fanart

Image
  Time: Approx. 1.5 Hours Character: Wilbur Soot (Dream SMP) So... I've been absorbed. Here's some C!Wilbur fanart for y'all. I've kind of been hyper fixated on the L'Manburg part of the Dream SMP, so expect a bunch of fanart for that. I'm thinking of doing some Technoblade fanart here soon. Maybe some Ghostbur?  If you for some reason can't tell what this drawing is supposed to be, it's supposed to be just after Wilbur presses the "blow up L'Manburg" button. I'm pretty proud of this whole thing. If your wondering why pen pressure has left the chat, that's because I lost my tablet pen. I'm going to try and find it, but it's not the biggest deal for now. Stay Awesome! <3
