<WIP> Airbrushing a few Resinsoul dolls (2 Bei's)

So,
I ordered a Bei for my girlfriend's (amb2730) birthday, and I got her colored purple. Well, she came in and was super cute, but not really the color that she wanted. So I then ordered a white Bei, and planned to keep the purple Bei for myself. I got my workshop and airbrush set up in the new house, and started to prime and paint her used-to-be white Bei.
Here's how its coming along.


the workshop


the start of color


all laid out


head and torso, she's coming together

More pics to come sortly, I need to get some water based poly so I can shoot it through my airbrush and continue to spray inside away from the cold

Also, my Bei is slotted for the next airbrushing job, here's the layout



she will be posted in a more detailed WIP fashion, so keep your eyes out

I got a large bottle of Craft Smart in Lavender. Im pretty sure its just random cheap paint from Michael's, but it works pretty nice. Since its going through an airbrush, I just did a 2:1 ratio of paint:water and it went in and on wonderfully. I did a few coats on each part, but taped off the major joints (the doll was previously dyed lilac, but didnt dye evenly, hence the painting) Ill get a pic of the joints later tonight when she's all sealed and ready for stringing

So Ashy's Bei is done, all restrung (took us 4 hours) and all that jazz. this is a pic of her Bei (custom purple color) and my Bei (resinsoul default purple color). also, I have decided that my Bei will not be unstrung and painted, due to the sheer amount of hell it is to restring a Resinsoul doll. if you're planning to, I'd personally reconsider... anyway! I think she came out well,

she's pretty shiny from the sealer, but once she's got a faceup I'll Dullcoat her.

 

Actually being that I was using my airbrush and didnt want to have to be limited to aerosol cans, I sprayed her with Minwax Polycrylic Water-based Satin polyurethane. Used the same stuff on the hard wood floor in my house. She's got 2 coats, which judging by the thickness and how hard she is, is probably 10 coats out of an aerosol can.
