Full/Closed Kaxen Aesthetics

I enjoy painting dolls and want to paint yours too!

Tanned dolls need more love and I especially love face-ups on medium and dark colored skin.
I also like introducing skin textures and freckling to doll faces. My style is not geared towards a particularly smooth look.

Materials:

• Panpastel
• Liquitex Acrylic Ink
• Liquitex Acrylic Paint
• ZM Spray
• ZM Shine Pearl
• Watercolor (Holbein, Winsor & Newton)

Prices:
Prices do not include costs for shipping doll parts back and forth.

• Face-up removal - $10 (I use a combo of W&N Brush Cleaner, Isopropyl alcohol, and Magic Eraser)
• Head color matching - $15 (airbrushed or sponged-on depending on skin texture preference)
• Face-up - $50
• Body Freckling - $10 (This does not include any sort of blushing, just freckles/moles and sealant)
• Tattoos/non-natural skin markings - Prices on a case by case basis due to varied complexity
• Attaching eyelashes - Free, but you must provide the eyelashes.
• Face-protector - $2

Things I Won't Do:

• Copy another face-up
• Alter part of a doll's existing face-up

Turnaround Time:
2 to 8 weeks. Work and weather affects when I start a face-up.

Process:

• PM me what you would like for the face-up.
• Ship me your doll's parts, feel free to include your doll's wig and eyes if you want a matching color scheme or a better idea how the finished face-up looks on a non-naked doll.
• I will face-up the doll and send progress images.
• Once the face-up is finished, I will e-mail a Paypal Invoice for the services and the return shipping.

Satisfaction Guarantee:
If for any reason a face-up does not work out, I am willing to wipe and redo a face-up once.

Face-up Form:

• Name
• Paypal e-mail
• Preferred contact (DOA PM or e-mail?)
• Doll sculpt name
• Skin Color
• Color scheme (eyeshadow? fantasy colors? natural?)
• Eyebrow color
• Eyebrow shape/expression
• Shine powder (I have blue, pink, white, gold)
• Freckles/beauty marks/moles?
• Tattoos or other non-natural face-markings?
• Any notes about your doll's personality, or reference images you would like me to see

Also took off scars/additive elements off my "don't" list. I don't do epoxy mods though. I use acrylic gel.
