So, after working on both of the repaints I am going to show you I think I prefer re-painting male dolls. They just aren't so HIGH MAINTENANCE.
(^_^) (...I'm totally high maintenance.)
Dolls WERE harmed in the making of this blog post.
First victim was my crazy eyed model #4 from the Barbie Basics Jean collection...
Let's see what horrors befell her...
GIANT eyes and screwy lashes....eek!
Keeping in mind that I tried to keep some of her original paint intact (hence the heavy upper lid liner) because I liked the eyeshadow. My best guess is that a complete erase is in order.
I re-paint SO little that I am amazed she looks sorta okay, just not what I was after.
Next...
VICTIM #2, in my opinion, was a COMPLETE success! (^_^)
Formerly an "Acheron" doll by Integrity....
If you don't know what he looked like before, here is a link.
I completely spaced taking a "before" of him.
His eyes were re-painted, the red streaks were removed, and I erased his dreadful facial hair.
Oh, and I renamed him "Adonis".
His place in my collection is now permanent.
(^_^)
So, that has been my rainy day....
Not sure what I am going to get into next....
*hugs to each of you*

I love your male repaint. So handsome!
ReplyDeleteThank you Veda! (^_^) He was 2nd so I got warmed up a bit before I started him. lol (^_^)
DeleteOMG, the Acheron is a male grail for me. Bravo, Kat...he looks AMAZING!!!!!!!! They both do, actually.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tracy! I need a second one for his body. lol I'm going to make my Edward Ken a hunk, because right now he just looks sparkly and lame. (^_^)
DeleteHi Cat :)
ReplyDeleteThe first repaint you showed isn't so bad. She looks like a Korean girl. Adonis is WONDERFUL!! WOW!!! I like him much now than his previous look!! I'd love to have bunches of Integrity men in my collection!!!
Thank you for being sweet Sergio. I wish she would have looked like a Korean girl. (^_^) It is okay though because I gave her a full re-re-paint. lol And I LOVE the Integrity male dolls!!! I have around 11. They burn holes in my pockets!!!
DeleteHey, Adonis looks like a Hunk now, i love your painting on both dolls...you are very talented.
ReplyDeleteHugs

Thank you Maria!! (^_^) I really love his new look too. *hugs*
DeleteAdonis is hot! You did pretty good on the first one as well IMO.
ReplyDeleteThank you girlie!! (^_^) The gals are fighting over him. lol
DeleteLooking good honey. Man Acheron's facial hair WAS a mess. Ashton Drake/Integrity could have done a much better job with those two!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dani! Yeah...I HATE the facial hair Integrity does. It looks generic and gross. lol
DeleteThe first one reminds me a manga cartoon, not too bad, but not a Barbie style. The second one is pretty good!! I like it! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Acerico! I totally agree. Thank you for being honest! (^_^) *hugs*
DeleteHello from Spain: this kid integrity collection is very attractive. You do great work. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteThank you Marta!!! (^_^)
DeleteGah! They both look superb! I'm still diving into the world of re-painting, so this just blows me away. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Verona. The world of re-painting is scary. lol I'm still trying to wrap my head around the smaller concepts. (^_^) You just gotta learn to laugh at your mistakes and keep at it. *hugs*
