I don't feel like doing the sewing I still have to do, so I've been making digital mock-ups of face-ups for dolls that I want to own in the future... but I've run out of future dolls So: if anyone wants to send me a picture of a blank head (can be company photo), plus some sort of prompt, I'll put together a sketchy mock-up for you. Can't guarantee it'll be workable irl (never done a face-up myself ), but it'll be fun! Probably! (Seriously I'm so bored please help )
I have an AE Ding Dang that needs a faceup and this seems like a fun thing to do. She wears colorful clothes and is playful and childlike, very friendly and energetic as well, so I'll go with "kidcore" for the prompt. Spoiler
OMG seriously? Would you do that? That's AWESOME!

@cosmicakes here you are! I went the full "birthday party face paint route", as you can see. (Tried adding eyeliner & lashes but didn't like the results, might futz around with it more later.) EDIT: I decided "birthday party face paint" was a bit much, so I threw together this more subtle option @MaleficentMrsofEvil no problem! You have any sort of direction you want me to go in?
@MaleficentMrsofEvil viola! Went in a 90's direction. Would make the brows more detailed, but I really need to go to bed. Also: I noticed she looked surprisingly good with the brow layers turned off, so you get a bonus "no-brow" brow version... for the bold!!
I am doing this. 100%. No promises on how good it will look, mind you, but I LOVE it. It's like you read my mind, because I was seriously thinking of doing this look. Thank you so much. I love it!
Aw, she's so CUTE! I don't want to be greedy, so cool if no, but could I request one more? I'm totally stumped on what to do with her - Granado Jane in tan: Granado Jane unboxing by Maleficient MrsofallEvil, on Flickr
@cosmicakes and @dm_sof - I hope you post your "actuals" here - I'd love to see them. I really do think I can do Imara - I'll post her here when I'm done!
Yes, I'd love to see the finished products! But: I also totally won't be offended if anyone decides to go in a different direction Also: I'm not yet bored of doing these, so feel free to send more my way! (I have a lot of free time, lol) @MaleficentMrsofEvil here's round 2 And, once again, an alternative version:
Oooh, I love option #2 for Jane! I mean, if you don't mind... I have a lot of blank heads. This is my Spirit Doll Freesia. I was thinking sort of a Maleficent-esque look?

@MaleficentMrsofEvil I went... quite literal for this one (those things in the corners of her eyes are supposed to be gems, btw) General note: I'm running out of ways to do eye shadow and lipstick, so unless someone has a specific request for something I haven't done yet, this might be it for now...
@Giallo_Gatta, @MaleficentMrsofEvil glad y'all like them! I never can tell if my tastes are going to line up with other people's, so it's nice when it works out! Anyway, I'd be up for doing a couple more of these, if anyone is interested.
I am tearing through my Flickr and realizing I need to take some good photos of my blank faces, because if this offer is still open, I am loving it. This is my little tiny Depths Doll Latimeria. She is 1/6 scale and has an itty bitty face. Can you work from this pic? Photodump by Maleficient MrsofallEvil, on Flickr If it's not good enough, I can grab some new pics tomorrow.
I very much appreciate the single eye-color look - that should be something I will be able to recreate on her tiny face. Thank you! I love it! I gotta get this remodeling done so I can get started on these mock-up face-ups for realsies!
Ooh, would you be interested in doing a trad-goth mockup for my Black Cherry Kaorin? I will have to get home from work and get a good picture of her to post first though.
One more? (gosh, I feel so greedy - just tell me no if you don't want to) So her face-up is already done, but she's so easy to paint that I'm thinking of trying something else. She's human-sized, so if you want to add anything tiny or intricate, I could probably do it fairly easy. Squatch by Maleficient MrsofallEvil, on Flickr
@MaleficentMrsofEvil well... I got this far, then ran out of steam, then spent several days in bed with a migraine... and now looking at it again I don't like it that much... But perhaps you will be inspired, somehow?
Current progress with the face up! It's slow going, because I work late enough most weekdays that I can pretty much only work on her on weekends that I have free, but I think we're doing well so far.
Took ages because we got six months of serious humidity, and while the space I spray is heated it doesn't have a dehumidifier. But here we are! Everything but the upper lashes, since I hate gluing those and honestly might never get to it.
