Modification First mod project complete! Horns, elf ears and facial reconstruction

Jul 31, 2015

    1. This is my Angel Studio Cain boy, Alexander. I modified pretty much his entire face, added horns and elf ears. Crit on both the mod and the faceup would be appreciated :) Thank you!

    2. This is exceptional work! I love how seamlessly the horns blend into the head.
       
    3. I started to type about how awesome the horn texture and blending came out, but then I kept scrolling and saw how much MORE work had been done on the rest of the face!

      Super smooth mod transition to the point that I didn't realize his mouth/nose/cheeks/eyes/brow-ridge had all be touched by just looking at the initial images. And then on top of that perfect resin matching done over the mods. Wonderful wonderful job!
       
    4. [MENTION=44921]orinoco_flow[/MENTION] Thank you so much <3
      [MENTION=39205]Kitkaze[/MENTION] Thank you! Thats one reason I put the wip, to show what all I'd done. I worked really hard on the blending though, so I'm glad you can't tell by just looking at him. Though I am worried about the mouth and nose not really looking like I changed anything from before I started... The horns were actually a last minute thing, and strangely turned out to be the most notable mod lol

      Thank you both for your feedback!
       
    5. I'm admittedly a newbie who doesn't yet own a doll, still, so I don't know if I'm supposed to be shooting my mouth off in this thread;
      But I'd like to think I still know good and bad regardless, and this is a gorgeous and wonderfully done modification. :D Also a very lovely face-up!
       
    6. Wow, you really got the mods to blend absolutely perfectly into his resin!!! He is beautiful, I adore the combination of old scarring and fresh blood spatter. He had a great sense of melancholy in his expression despite his very stern brows. Great job all around!!!

      A small feedback on the face-up. I'm not sure if it's a trick of the light or his blushing, but there is a yellowish spot on both his temples right at the end of his eyebrows? It just looks a little off to me, like an old bruise, but not blushed quite right.
       
    7. I can't believe this Everything blends so well woah :o
       

    8. Thank you! And looking at it now I agree with your bit about the yellow on the temples. It was supposed to be gold spots to match his horns, but they do look more like old bruises. I may go over them next time with a painted tattoo of some sort or push the bruise idea further, like he's growing new horns there.
       
    9. Those lips and horns came out amazing! I love the eyebrows, makes him look just so fed up with everyone and their junk.

    15. I love the final result and seeing the before and after process. You did an excellent job. I'd love to see the final doll with outfit and wig to see the whole picture.

    16. I love the final result! I find the horns seamless and proportional to his face shape, and the faceup is very well done!

    17. As someone who has an OC with horns and pointed ears, I have to tell you I admire this so much! It looks absolutely FANTASTIC <3

    18. In my opinion some places on his face will look better with more precise sanding like ears and I think some more places on his skin
      I really love his horns and eyes shape , I also like the make up :) this colors are great and eyebrows:love
      I don't like the nose, I m not sure what is the problem here maybe too strong shading ?

    19. I would have never guessed the mouth was modded! Though I do agree what more precise sanding may have helped areas (the eyes and ears), I kind of dig the texture around the horns. It's not smooth, but I think it adds to the transition from skin to the horns?
