Aesthetics 2026-01-17 : adding a lovely blondie to an old thread ^^ - Faceup and wig for a Marianne

Jan 7, 2022

    1. Hello everyone!

      This year, I'm supposed to work on my dolls in progress, and to not buy new BJD. (The second part is going to be very hard for me :lol:)

      So I dug up one of my older dolls from my pile of boxes : my modified Another Secret Banse (named Jay).
      I own her head since 2012 and her body since 2013. She already had a finished customization, as a soldier woman in my cyberpunk world. She had scars, tattoos, wig, eyes, well everything. But I finally decided to put her in my steampunk world. I will keep parts of her custo, and change others.
      She is going to be a monster hunter, like two of my boys (my Dollstown J, who is more an exorcist and vampire hunter, and my Dollclans Vezeto, who is partially demonic himself).
      Speaking of my Vezeto, Haïaltal, he is waiting for his wig since, few, 2014 or 2015? And he also miss manicure and tattoos.


      EDIT on 2026 : I had for years the head of Jay's lover, and buy her a body last year only. Now I'd like to add her on this thread, even if she is not a monster hunter. She is a quiet woman, an innkeeper. (Without the inn currently, but I hope one day I'll make diorama for my dolls)
      Also, Vezeto is sold since a year or two (or three, time flies).

      What I'd like to do on Banse:

      Mods To Do:
      • eyes mod (done back in 2013)
      • facial and body scars mods (done back in 2014)

      Aesthetics To Do:
      • faceup (redone in 2020)
      • tattoos (right arm has tattoo from 2013, I may redo it)
      • manicure

      Crafting To Do:
      • wig (redone in 2021)
      • leather corset
      Here is a picture of her faceup and scars:

      Currently Vezeto is in a box at the bottom of one of my piles of boxes, but I will take him out for making his wig. One day. :sweat

      Aesthetics To Do:
      • faceup (done in 2026)
      • tattoos (one day)
      • manicure (to redone, current is not by me and is a little damage)

      Crafting To Do:
      • wig (done in 2025)
      • clothes

    2. Your faceups are so lovely, can't wait to see more
       
    3. Those faceups are fantastic, I'm sure they'll look even better once they're completely assembled!
       
    4. Wow! You've got scar skills! Many a movie make-up artist could learn from you! I'm gonna follow you in case you give any tutorials! *wink* (silly me! I didn't realize this post was from you, follow-the-wind. Of course, I'm already following you, and you do wonderful tutorials! Lol!)
       
    5. Many years after, thank you for your comment, @Valdemagra , @moonlightnocturne and @skyealloway !

      10 years ago, when my Banse was still a soldier in a cyberpunk world, she had a lover named Victoria (then a Supiadoll Hael on Aoi Tuki Tukihime body). When I changed my Banse from universe, I also sold my Hael and bought as new shell a Marianne by Karmanavtica. The new Victoria was no longer a barmaid but an innkeeper, and she stayed a flying head for... many years. But now thanks to @Betina I have a beautiful Argaunotica body for her (not the plus sized, but a lovely body nonetheless). So I'm adding her to her lover's thread!

      Currently I painted her faceup and made her wig. She has nothing left from her previous shell aside the deep red lips. She used to be a brown hair girl with blue-green eyes, and now she is a blondie with brown eyes (but I may buy her blue-green eyes again).

      Here is a pic in awful artificial light of her makeup alone:

      And here is she with her wig:

      Thank you for looking!

    6. Beautiful beautiful hair for her! :D it's funny how sometimes the character features can change like hair and eye color or more and they still feel like the right character. It happens to me too.

      Her faceup is really beautiful. The red lips are very pretty paired with the way you render her soft, lifelike skin.

    7. Salut, Eléonore!
      just wow, she is so beautiful and cool! I didn't know the body was for her, it is going to look gorgeous, because that is not the thicker but this one is not by all means a skinny one. I love that body a lot, that bum, and shoulder plates.. Everything, super fan of Argonautica and their work, but with this girl? 12 over 10. She's special, I love everything about her, sculpt, faceup, wig... I can't wait to see more of her.

    8. Fascinated by the beautiful new Victoria. For me seeing you creating a more or less human looking character (as opposed to a fantasy creature) is a relatively new thing and I love to see how you do that.
