@Neko: It mostly just takes a lot of practice! I did a faceup comparison a little while ago comparing my faceups throughout the year and holy cow it's crazy to see how much my work has changed!
@Prodigy: That's awesome~
What'd she run ya, total?
neko says; @Prodigy: Right! luckily I have an idea of what kind of style I want to have with faceups, as I watch people on youtube do them daily and I've really got a liking for big dolly eyes and lots of sparkle.
sell me rigs please♥
@Lady Luna: I think she originally was about $240 USD, but I've upgraded her body since to a different one from another company, so now I think she's worth around $350-400 or so. I've had dolls from about $150 all the way up to $900. >< It all really depends on the size, resin color, company, etc.
@Neko: That's good! Looking at tutorials or other faceups is a really good way to get the hang of your own style. That's how I first started, too. ^^ And YES to sparkle. ALL THE SPARKLE.

@Prodigy: Damn.
But I'm not surprised.
BJD's are gorgeous.... but damn they are expensive, LOL
Especially for a poor Canadian!
@Lady Luna: They're SO expensive. I started with a small Hujoo that was around $30 and then a small vinyl Dollfie from Volks that was about $25. They gave me the practice for faceups and stuff that I needed without the huge cost. Luckily, there are more and more companies that are coming out nowadays with lower priced dolls. ^^
@Prodigy: I...... didn't even know that there were ANY under 50!
But in all seriousness, I'm not surprised that there are more coming out.
BJD's are gaining popularity. It's still not ... uhh, I guess 'mainstream', but there's at least a large enough fanbase and such to warrant it~<3
@Lady Luna: The ones under $50 aren't resin, they're made of ABS instead, but they're still super cute! Really good if you want to try out the hobby without getting your wallet to hate you. >< But yeah, I'm glad they're becoming a bit more accepted now since they're a lot of fun. My coworkers always are entertained when I get doll stuff mailed to my work address.
@Prodigy: I may have to look into that~<3
I would love to give face painting a try. Not.... not that I think I'd be any good, LOL
@Lady Luna: You never know! Omg you should see some of my early stuff. I looked like I was drawing with a crayon! But practice definitely makes perfect with faceups. ><
@Prodigy: LOL
Sounds like my watercolour work! XD
@Lady Luna: Oh! You do watercolor? :D That's awesome. I've tried it in the past and it was a ton of fun.
@Prodigy: Yeah. It's a recent thing, but I'm finding I freaking love it.
I just gotta manage to figure out a way that I can do it... space and all ... without getting everything all over my laptop and cintiq screen again. LOL.
I splashed it tonight with paints. Oooooops
@Lady Luna: Space is probably the #1 hardest thing to figure out when it comes to crafting or painting. >< I swear if I could have like a full studio the size of my apartment I still could fill it all up with stuff and not have enough room. :vanora_sweat:
@Prodigy: You too, huh?
Also, LOVE your avi!
I gotta decide what I'll change my avi to later, but I have no idea what it'll be.
//shrugs
@Lady Luna: Thank you! :D I like your single-colored avi too. The sunset color is so pretty. <3 I absolutely love this bubblegum color, too. It's so cute!
@Prodigy: The new colours are win.
Like, seriously. I love 'em.
The marshmallow is awesome too. Lol.
[And, of course, thanks!]
@Lady Luna: I'm also super happy they added a mint color! I love mint. Or anything in the blue-green realm. <3
@Prodigy: Oh hell yeah.
I'm thrilled at some of the additions.
And there's a hair that I made [with a few edits by Q] in Viv's shop too!
~<3
So I'mma happy girl. lol
