I was finally able to do a faceup for my Elfdoll Lydia that I feel good about. I've had this doll before and I wanted her to to look like her same character (who grew and changed over years of course) but not remind me of years before either, which was kind of complicated. Anyway, I hope you will like her look! Link Link Link Link Thanks for looking!
I'm glad you found a way to paint her that you're happy with! The blush and dark eye makeup are a great combo, I love how they play with the sculpts characteristics
Thank you @cobaltconduct ! Yeah I'm happy too, and relieved. Nice to see her on the shelf with the right look
Wow, she looks amazing! I love the freckles, they add so much interest to her face. The way all the colors go together makes her such a pleasure to look at.
Such a beautifully balanced faceup with lovely freckles! The thing I love most about it is how you managed to hit that sweet spot that allows you to dress her in almost any style and it still fits in perfectly. I shall go put on a hat so I can take it off to you!!
Ooooh, I love the blend around the eyes! The lips are also excellent, and I enjoy how soft and fluffy the brows look. Lovely work!!
Thank you @Alamentine I'm a big freckle fan and kind of in a freckle phase again... I did think it was a good extra for her this time Thank you @Blodeuwedd ! Ah I was thinking that myself and very happy because although she has a good wig currently I kind of want another and well I like her in some pretty different fashions too ... It can be nice having someone who feels like they can do it all. Thank you so much @1800crow yes I love the superblendy soft fluff
@Follow-the-Wind it is! Thank you! See, totally different from the other repaint. that one didn't feel like her at all!
I must admit I like this soft look better than the previous, even if I found it nice also. Her dark eyeliner and natural lips are so good together!
Thank you @Follow-the-Wind ! That's good (we agree) because repainting is a chore these days. I am happy it's over still, it's a versatile sculpt and a bit tempting to try different things even if sometimes I didn't like them. I remember when the dark eye and light lips was so popular. It makes me feel nostalgic
Wow amazingly good work! Your Lydia is an outstanding beauty Incredible! Congratulations * I think I have to give my elf doll Lydia to the plastic surgeon... ;-)
Haha oh @JL_The_Lion that gave me a good laugh but no don't say that! Lydia is such a classic beauty! You can do anything with her and she's beautiful Thanks for your compliments!
Ooo! This is really well done!! My niece saw it over my shoulder and pointed saying she was pretty and that she liked it!
Sorry - it was supposed to be a joke. Lydia is a real beauty and yours is very special. My Lydia has an original, very beautiful face up with no damage and I have an iron rule. As long as there is no damage that can be retouched, the face stays that way. Thus i acknowledge the loving work of the artist who gave life to the doll. Thanks and keep it up. You create very beautiful "lives"
Oh I know it was @JL_The_Lion sorry I was too coy replying thank you so much! Mm, also very reasonable about your Lydia
