Carmen

 

Carmen was my first Blythe repaint :3 Two friends tried to customize her and didn't really succeed, so they lend her to me to try. She's inspired by Lana Del Rey, and she really reminds her when she's wearing her wig.

It was fun to paint her, and really hard. Blythe's faces are so huge it was difficult to spread the pastel without tainting it. But fortunately everything went fine and she turned out beautiful and loved by her "dads" ♥ Oh, she has a translucent faceplate.

Frankie

 

 Frankie was my second try on mh repaint. I made some mistakes, but I think her overall is just fine. I decided to paint her lips and eyes with acrylics to make the colors brighter. I think it was a smart decision because mh heads are so small, and making such tiny details with the watercolor pencils is frustrating sometimes. I also tried to preserve the fashion concept of the dolls, and although I changed the colors a bit, I kept her heterochromia (it's not brown and brown, it's brown and green!), stitches, and the love for make up. I think I'll do that with all my mh girls, I just love the characters too much to change them! ♥

First Custom

This is my very first Monster High custom !  She's a Spectra doll, and I want her to be Spectra as well. I made some researches about ghosts and complemented her character. I want to give her a slightly medieval look, since this seems to be the period ghosts were more popular. I haven't made her clothes yet, nor her accessories, and I thought that for now (with those super girly curls) she looks so adorable and ladylike that I had to take some pictures with Cupid's dress. I don't own a Cupid YET but I borrowed my boyfriend's (yes, I brought him to the hobby... ). 

Unfortunately, I don't have any Mr. Super Clear right now. I tried a local sealant that worked beautifully on her plastic. Until monday. Monday was an unusual hot and humid day and her head became sticky and it haven't dry since then. So I'll order a bunch of msc and redo her faceup. I'm kinda sad because it's gonna take about three months for the msc to arrive, but at least I'll have the proper tolls to custom all my monster high and my other dolls.
