My Soom Devil's Stone gray Skoll arrived home in January blank. I have never commissioned a face-up myself before, so I was pretty nervous about sending my boy away! However, face-up artist maiya came highly recommended to me from a friend in the Soom TG discussion thread, so I knew it would be worth it! ^_^ My boy got sent out at the very beginning of April and received a completely adorable face from the incredibly talented maiya! He came back home today (April 28th-also my dad's 60th b-day!) and I am so excited to share his re-arrival! Maiya sent him home in the same box I shipped him out in, a little Soom box that they sent me replacement hands in. ^_^ Inside the box! Goodies! Doll head mummy & the goodie bag from maiya! ^_^ First glimpse of my gorgeous boy! At my request, maiya even put some color on the tips of his tufted ears! Adorable!! So gorgeous!! :3 My little prince, all put back together. With his wolf parts! ^_^ I made this crown for him while he was away! He is the prince of the Shadow realm, after all. ^_^ Sitting on my computer looking adorable. ^_^ I'm so happy to have my first teenie boy back home! Thanks for looking!
Oh my gosh, he's adorable! Commissioning a faceup sounds really scary, I'm nervous to have to do it for myself. What was the process like if you don't mind me asking. Hehe Oh my gosh, I keep scrolling up to look at his adorable expression again. He really is gorgeous.
Thanks! Xerbius, Soom's gray resin is really lovely! I absolutely adore it! Thank you! ^_^ The hardest part of the process was explaining what I wanted in the commission form! >.> I'm not super good at articulating that sort of thing (probably because I'm not an artist; at least not as far as drawing and painting goes). Basically, I filled out the commission form and included some links to face-ups by her that I really liked to help show what I wanted. ^_^ From there it was just letting her do what she does best and paint him! I wasn't sure what to expect at first, but he really came out so adorable! :3 Thanks! I can't wait to take more photos of him! Maybe I will have time this weekend.
Thanks! I wanted to bring out the color of his eyes (turquoise/teal) so I asked her to put a touch of that color above his eyes. ^_^
Simply adorable! Everything about his new face up works so well with his sculpt. The wig is also the perfect shade for him.
Thank you! The wig is Luts charcoal gray (his eyes are also Luts). ^_^ His cousin Luna (OE Bygg) has a charcoal gray wig from Luts too.
Ohh that does sound hard I'm so glad that he turned out the way you wanted tho! That's awesome! Congrats!
