Aesthetics Flower Children {Dollzone Moment and Anson - Long Term Project}

Thank you. I really like them for him too.
Hehe. They are gorgeous eyes anyway, so it's hard not to like them. ^_~

Oh goodness, thank you!
These sculpts are so innovative untouched I really wanted to do it justice.

Hehe, thank you! I'm actually just back from a few days out of town and it was lovely.

Aw, thank you so much! ^__^
I really like the asymmetry in him too. It makes it feel more natural to me somehow. Perhaps that seems odd since the wing patterns of butterflies and moths do open symmetrically…but I feel like it just flows better since the petals of the sculpt itself are not symmetrical. Plus, then I get to use more different patterns!

 

Aw, thanks. Hehehe, sometimes I wonder if I have the patience too! ^_~
Ahhh, he's going to be worth it...but he is a lot of work. Hehe, hence, why this is a long term project!

Given how fantastic the sculpt is for these guys, I came to the conclusion that I should just go all out! ^__^

Oh! Thank you!

Thanks so much. ^__^

Thank you! ^_^
I'm going to blush the petal arms, but not the body itself. I plan to make him a rather elaborate costume, so it seems silly to put detail work under all that when he will always wear his clothes. Also, I don't want to have to worry about it rubbing off, or staining. Basically, I don't want to ever have to re-blush this guy!! ^_~

 

Happy Anniversary to you too then! ^__^
Yeah...the eye shape is so fiddly. I love it so much though, so I had to just keep trying to find something that would work. I think these are a good balance, though I do feel just a tad guilty that you can't see more of the eyes because they have a lovely iris pattern. Hehe.

Aw, thank you so much. ^_^

Thank you! I really like the way you put that, that each petal is its own story. ^_^
But I completely agree, it's so great to see how everyone approaches these sculpts because they are all so creative!

Hehe, thank you! ^___^
I need to get back to work on him! Hehe, I put his head back on for a group photo of my dolls and it was nice just to see him put back together for a while, so I didn't want to take him apart right away again. Hehe.

 

Aw, thank you!!

Thank you so much! There is a lot of amazing talent in this hobby. I love seeing what people are making too! ^__^


Eh, well I seem to be in a little bit of a painting slump at the moment. I have other dolls that need some painting work too (tattoos and new faceups), but I just haven't felt like getting all the supplies out and working on them...

 

Oh, thank you so much. ^_^


Hehe, well I finally got my sewing table cleaned up. I thought it might be nice to work there as that room has a lot of nice light...er, but then I realized that all of my wing references are on my computer...and I can't see them in that room.

 

Hehe, it sounds like an excuse even to me. ^_~
Ah, it always happens though. That moment where I want to work on him...but I don't want to work on him.
Er yes...sorry for the lack of updates everyone.

 

Oh! Thank you very much. ^__^

 

Thanks! Hehe, that dragonfly wing was an interesting challenge. All of the colors on the other wings are based on examples, but I sort of just made up what colors I wanted to use for that one. Glad you like it. ^_^

 

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've been able to post an update. I guess this update is really just to let you know that it's going to be some time before I can work on poor Freyr again as actually I'm pregnant. Hehe, so no spraying for me for the time being!

I will be getting back to this project when I can again, so if you can stand the wait, I'd be so glad to see you in the thread then. ^_^

​

 

Hehe, thank you so much. ^___^
I'm determined to see him all complete!

 

Aw, thank you! ^__^

 

Thank you so much, both of you. ^__^

 

So...looks like the photos died in this thread today. A big, big thank you to Lysian for letting me know.
I've fixed them all now.

Aw, thank you so much. Time has been flying! Soon baby will be here. Hehe. I'm hoping that after we settle into a routine I can do some more work on poor Freyr. For now, he's sitting in the doll parlor.

Thank you! ^__^
Yes, it is slow going, but I excited to see him finished one day.

Thank you! ^__^

 

I'm glad you liked him! ^__^

 

Aw, thank you so much!

 

Hello all! Today is the day to get back to work. ^_~



And....

First headcap wing outline done!



Basically. The tip will be black too...but I'm keeping it blank so I have someplace to put my finger when I hold the headcap.

For the headcap I'm going to be doing things in a little bit of a different order. The plan is to do ALL the wing outlines first, then spray, then add color. This is my attempt to save on spray layers. Wish me luck. Hehe.

 

Thank you! ^__^
Hehe, it's good to be working on it again.

 

Did some planning today so I had a better idea of which wings I wanted where and got started on one of the front inner head cap wings. These are tough cookies! To be fair, I basically have to make myself into a pretzel in order to draw any of the wing patterns, but these front inner petals curve inward...

I wasn't even sure I could get a photo of the pattern. Why did I decide to do this again?

Just kidding.

But it's done! For now! Yay!



@SteamWitch
Thank you, thank you!
Hehe and I know. It's been so loooooong...

 

Aw, thank you so much!
Hehe. Well, now you know why she is still blank. Too much in the doll queue.

 

Oh thank you so much for the kind words!

I pick up this doll here and there. I have a shoulder injury that makes it really hard to work on so much fine detail like this doll requires. Someday I will finish him...but I don't know quite when that will be. Everyone's encouragement really means a lot to me because of that.
