August 12th: Faceup a household object! WINNER POSTED!

Aug 12, 2010

    1. Okay, so I'll admit it. I don't get what the big deal is about the human-shaped dolls. I can totally get into the dog ones, but the people ones sort of look the same to me. They sort of look like everything else, really.

      I see one of my owners painting doll heads a lot. I think it looks sort of stupid.

      I'd like to see other things painted like that though. Maybe you could paint something else in your house to look kind of like a doll head. That could be cool.

      So you can do that... and if there's an entry I really like, maybe we can send you something. Like a Dollcatch Stella head.

      You can just put pictures in the thread!
       
    2. Truffle, you forgot to mention that the Dollcatch Stella head was donated by St.James!
       
    3. are there any other rules? a time limit perhaps.. or materials we can't use? 'cause all i've got is some markers and water colors and i don't want to start this only to come back later and be all "whoops, must use airbrush only" or whatever.
       
    4. There's no strict time limit, but we'll probably close it up Sunday night. Any materials are acceptable. Go for it!
       
    5. Hahaha, this sounds fun! I'm off work this weekend, so I can participate! n___n
       
    6. oooh this is a funny one... BRB.....
       
    7. Oh my goodness, this sounds exciting! *scours the house for fun objects and materials*
       
    8. I am so into this XD
       
    9. Awesome!! Such a fun Idea!!
       
    10. OMG this is an awesome idea for a contest :) My cat is looking at me a little worried, I think he thinks that I will face-up him! But no, he is too sweet like he is.

      But what to faceup......That is the question...
       
    11. Oooo so going to try this *thinks what she can face up* Will we have to edit in the picture or just make a new post for it?
       
    12. I did a face-up on my guitar. It was pretty weird painting on something other than a doll since I only paint on dolls. It's not really the face-up style I do or like but it's really different and I like it. The close up is so you can see the gloss on the lips and everything was done in water color.

    13. I hope it's ok to make another post for this, just tell me if it isn't and I'll put the pics into my other post, but here is my face up...and it's my first lol, next step, do one on a doll xD

      For this i chose my Desktop bin:
      [​IMG]
      Has you can see she even opens up from behind lke a BJD...now all she needs is a wig and eye holes for her eyes xDD

      Close ups of the face up of course. It's pretty basic, but I am proud of it :3

    14. I decided to give a face up to a soft white light bulb. :lol:

      [​IMG]


      and even though you can't see the face on this one, here's a "behind the scenes" type photo. For size reference that is a headless Ange Ai Hani holding the light.:lol:
      [​IMG]


      Unfortunately after I took these pictures, I put my lightbulb down and it rolled off of the table and shattered :(

      Ms. Petunia Applebottom thinks that everyone is beautiful and would like to remind everyone that you too could be as 'BJD' as the rest of them.. Though she's very worried that she will not find a decent resin match for her luscious green 'resin' tone. ;D
      She also must throw in that despite her name.. her bottom is indeed not made of apples.. nor would she care to be eaten.
       
    16. Ahahah I like this. :D
       
    17. SO ANYthing?!! Anything anything?!
       
    18. Anthro Egg

    19. Aww, these are all so cute! What a great idea! I grabbed a broken clock I've been saving and had some fun with it.
      [​IMG]

      I used pastels, gloss, false eyelashes, and even some Testors Dullcoat...and was reminded why I like MSC more...But also broke one of the "normal" face-up rules and used colored pencils instead of acrylic paint or watercolor pencils. :sweat

      I can't wait to see the other entries!
       
    20. omg lol...wait this sunday..kya what to paint XD!!
       
    21. I absconded with a plastic spoon and my roommate's art supplies for mine :)

      [​IMG]
       
    22. Oh my. Errr. Need to think of.. SOMETHING. Oh gosh.
       
    23. This seems fun! I'll give it a go this evening. :D
       
    24. [​IMG]

      Me and my thumb (it looks like a worm xD *wiggle wiggle*):D used acryl and webcam <3

      the ghost in the background is my sister under a blanket
       
    25. I "faced-up" my nintendo gamecube....

      It kinda reminds me of a robot transvestite - like when Bender from Futurama dresses up like a girl. :3

      [​IMG]

      [​IMG]
       
    26. WOOOW thats kinda creepy xDD but cool ;D i like <3
       
    27. [​IMG]
      And here's a side view:
      [​IMG]

      I had a little piece of wood... it needed to be used >.>; THIS WAS FUN...

      So.. I used: A piece of wood, some cloth and pastels :) Oh and a touch of acrylic
       
    28. awww thats cute :D
       
    29. lol! this is awesome! i can't wait to get off work and do something XD
       
    30. I love seeing how creative everyone is >w>

      My personal goal was to take something round and try to make it as un-round as possible ...using only pastel and paints (oh, and testors), the typical faceup materials C:
      The result?
      A pretty-fied plate!

      [​IMG]
       
    31. I had a lot of fun with this. I present to Truffle: the edible face-up (well... you can't eat the eyes or upper eyelashes, but everything else you can!)!

      [​IMG]

      I didn't see any material requirement, so instead of paints I opted for a sugar cookie, icing, food coloring and sprinkles. The "face-up" dessert didn't last long, though. My husband already ate it...

      At least he told me it was delicious! :XD:
       
    32. Gah! Need to make something quick XD
       
    33. I tried to get my boyfriend to shave his head so i could use the back of it for a faceup (hes got one of those nice round heads XD)
      but he wouldnt have it haha I guess next time
       
    34. Honest Abe gets a Makeover!! (done with color pencils--to soften the harsh shading on his cheeks and wrinkles--and pen--for the added hair and eyelashes and dark blue eyes!).....Not too shabby for my first faceup ever, I guess XD

      [​IMG]
       
    35. Ol' Abe never looked so good. Just hope the Feds don't get you for defacing US currency.;) Although actually, you were more "facing" than "de-facing".:lol:
       
    36. LOL This is awesome!!! i love you guys xD
       
    37. That's the Beauty of it Phanuel! All the ink is washable, so no feds for me!!! And if they're watching right now, I promise to wash it! XD
       
    38. I can't do face-ups for anything! But I'd love a head to practice on and love and cherish forever!!

      Here is my attempt.. Pears! And the juice got all in poor Aiden's wig! ;.;

    45. Smaug: She's pretty but I'd go runnin' XD
       
    46. Toilet paper doesn't really need a face, but at least it has the courtesy to close its eyes. ^^

      [​IMG]
      Pastels and false lashes, and some acetate for glossy lips. Another pic-unrolled a bit

      First messy faceup is messy :sweat
       
    58. Truffle, I thought since you didn't care for doll face-ups how about one of your own kind?

      I, Odie, really wanted to show everyone my makeup skills and my soft emotional side.
      Truffle will you be my friend?
      [​IMG](<<---entry: the rest below are just for you to enjoy looking at my handsomness..... <.< >.>))

      "see how detailed I got on the lip, eyebrow and cheek blushing, which was difficult considering I have no thumbs."

      (no dogs were harmed, it was completely safe, absolutly safe)
       
    59. XD Awesome. You are truly beautiful, Odie. <3
       
    60. Thank you! My owner Spshlfx is so accepting of me, she really loves me with open arms.
