that's right....my very first full facial re-paint. Oddly enough, it was done on a Monster High Doll. I admire them but I don't collect them. It's tempting, but still I resist. This was done for a commission, and they love what I did! (^_^)
She started her journey looking like this... (the only in progress shot I took)..
So this is originally a Cleo De Nile doll, and he wanted her to have the powdered make-up reminiscent of the Victorian era of decadence and royalty. But, it needed to look worn and aged/faded. I love a challenge.
And the next picture displays the make-up looking aged and worn...
I had to use the flash to capture it...
I want to thank Chynadoll for the awesome paints that helped make this possible.
(^_^)
So, what do you guys and gals think? Should I throw in the paint brush, or keep painting?

DeleteAwesome re-paint Cat!!! She face reminds me of the female created in the movie Splice. Beautiful job girl, keep it up!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tracy! :) Splice is a really good/freaky movie. She does have a Splice look to her. Someone else mentioned she looked like an evil Geisha. lol
