I'm bored, does anyone want a face-up mockup?

May 22, 2024

    1. 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 :sweat), but it'll be fun! Probably!

      (Seriously I'm so bored please help :sorry)

    2. 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.

    4. @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?

    5. Wild. Go wild. Go wherever the muse takes you.
      :love I am so excited!
       
    6. You know what, sure! I have no idea what I want to do with this little girl, so I'll take it. :XD:

    7. @MaleficentMrsofEvil viola! Went in a 90's direction. Would make the brows more detailed, but I really need to go to bed. :sweat

      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!!

    8. 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!

    11. Thank you so much! I like both options and may have to combine them into one!

    12. Oooooo, not something I've ever tried before. Aka a challenge!

    13. @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!
       
    14. 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 :thumbup

      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 :cool:

      And, once again, an alternative version:

    15. May I post my Minifee? If you could use the color maroon that'd be especially great:kitty1

    17. @Giallo_Gatta I think your image didn't link correctly. Did you mean this one?

    18. Yes, thank you!
       
    19. Ah, good, because I was already mostly done, haha ;)

      And the requisite crazier option:

    20. @MaleficentMrsofEvil I went... quite literal for this one :sweat (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... *_*

    23. @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. :)

    24. 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?

      If it's not good enough, I can grab some new pics tomorrow.

    25. 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! :love
       
    26. I've got the doll head washed and drying! I plan to spray the first layer of MSC tonight after work.

    27. 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.

    28. 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.

    29. @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... :sorry But perhaps you will be inspired, somehow?

    30. 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.

    31. 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.
