custom blythe #003 petit maliceson - log 2

before I begin.... 

new custom girl I picked up from a new artist.. !! 

I'll share pictures soon, she's my first middie blythe ^o^ 

her name is waffle (smiley waffle is her base). 

it's been awhile YA but I've been itching to log some progress on my new blythe project LOL

so I am technically "skipping a number"! my second blythe project was a bit too ambitious for my skill level KDFSKJSFD.. I think I needed a bit more practice and studying on facial depth before trying my first open mouth doll!  oopz

but I was humbled at least AHAHA

 

I think her face photographed cutely, but I couldn't unsee how odd her nose and mouth looked when REALLY observing.. 

I'd like recycle her face plate in the future when I have more practice xP not.. anytime soon--  *is dramatic*

anyway HERE is my new child's inspiration pinterest board! I am specifically extremely inspired by the cute pouty faces of romidoll, one of my favorite customizers. (I hope to own a baby from her someday)........ 

 

 

not quite there yet, but so far so good >_> 

she's meant to be an alternative occultist witch apprentice who loves stones and gems (kinda inspired by the rubrubbing in hamham heartbreak LOL).. I am deeply inspired by an old eroge character named lilith! as well as various 2000s illustrations (eroge and oc).

  

how awesome is this tattoo.. lilith is to the left btw- to the right is nekokinryouku 

I think this is the most proficient job I've done so far... (ﾉ∇≦*)  I think she still has a way's to go but I've improved when it comes to determining the relationship between the cheeks/philtrum/chin..

in my first two doll attempts; my soft pastel shading was not very great because of how flat their faces were. I've only been doing test color washes on maliceson, and immediately see how much nicer it looks!!

I thank the creators of popcorn and mao, because I am now able to study physical references..  it will only get better from here W00T 

maliceson's original form.. she is wearing this special outfit! I love this creators fantasy-esque work 

(not my pic).. I considered buying the white one initially, but I wanted a more classic witch motif!! black and purple is also a good color scheme LOL

lastly, a song that describes her "feeling".. I have two this time! initially I thought shoegaze/alt rock, but it feels too predictable with her casual outfit.. I feel like an industrial type of electronic is more fitting 

 

 WISH ME LUCK

this has nothing to do w/ my blythe but I doodled my underworld babies randomly and I don't know wut other context I'd share it in so.. Yah
