I'm trying to figure out how I want my new bonbon galaxy mermaids to look! Since they both came with two different face plates I decided to modify two to have open eyes.

Since I acquired a third Fairyland LTF Juri 2013 faceplate, I decided I needed to mod her eyes completely closed and repaint the other two faceplates as well to match them all together. Only the fully open eyed faceplate is unmodded.
To be honest, I'm not really happy with how the eyebrows and lashes turned out, but they are as they are now, and I'll probably redo the faceups, eventually. Not anytime soon, since it's a lot of work to paint 3 fantasy faceups to match each other, and I have others I'd like to redo first. I'm still practicing thinning acrylic paints properly, I'm still so used to watercolor paints instead...

Spent about an hour yesterday taking my dremel to Vergil’s Raccoon Doll body to make the neck thinner so his head fits on it better.
Wish I thought take proper before pictures, but here’s an idea of what it was like before haha.

Just now fully realized every single one of this Zaoll's toes have been modded separate, and very nicely done.

Hello, everyone! I'm happy be opening US based dye commissions! Currently, I will only be accepting commissions from within the US, due to the cost of international shipping. (Canada may DM but costs can still be quite high)
About me: I have been dyeing dolls for around 5 years now. It's an enjoyable part of the hobby for me, and as someone who is unable to work, I hope it can be a source of some income.
I exclusively use Rit Dyemore. Turn around time is 1-2 months. 3 slots available. You may claim multiple slots.
Slot 1:
Slot 2:
Slot 3:
At this time I will not be mixing custom colors. This takes more time and trials and I cannot guarantee I will get what you want. You may request a mix I have done for myself previously. *Exact color match is not guaranteed.* Rit Dyemore offers a wide range of colors and I am happy to use any of them straight. I can get a light or deep color with most of them. *Note: I may add a small amount of another color if toning is needed. Ex. Graphite must be toned with blue or purple to get a more pure black. Otherwise it will only look very very dark brown.
Prices for full dolls, one solid color start at:
Yosd/tinies: $50
Msd: $60
Sd: $75
I am no longer accepting dolls over 62cm! I have a hard time fitting them in my pot.
Parts, one color:
Hands/feet only all sizes: $20
Head only: $30
Legs/arms (including hands/feet) only: $40
Torso: $40
For fantasy dolls and parts (mermaids, centaurs, etc.) please message me as prices may vary by complexity and i need to be sure all parts will fit in my pot.
Extras:
Additional color (only 1 additional color): $10 (ex. An msd: torso, head, arms-blue, lower half-pink. This would be $70 rather than $60)
Restringing: $15 for fantasy dolls. $10 for everything else.
*if you choose restringing you must send your doll in a large enough box. If the box is not large enough (i.e. doll was sent unstrung in a smaller box but you want it returned strung) you will be charged for additional packing materials. Cost may vary and will be added to your return shipping invoice.
Body shimmer: $10 all sizes. Your doll will be covered in a resin-safe liquid sealant that has been mixed with shimmer color of your choice. All shimmers have a duochrome shift. Message me for available colors. *chipping or rubbing off of sealant will occur over time in the joint areas and may rub off with a lot of handling*
I do not offer body blushing or tattoos.
Payment is due upon my acceptance of your commission and you have read and signed the google form containing my terms and conditions. I will send a link to the form when we have agreed on your service. Failure to properly sign will result in rejection of your commision.
Customers are responsible for shipping both ways. When you ship your doll to me, please send me a picture of the receipt so i can charge the same amount on your return shipping invoice. *I highly recommend getting insurance. IF YOU DID NOT BUY INSURANCE TO SEND TO ME, I WILL NOT BUY INSURANCE TO SEND IT BACK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR UNINSURED PACKAGES. If you did purchase insurance, please tell me the amount.
Return shipping will be charged when the dye job is complete. *I will not ship your doll until the shipping has been paid*
Please send your doll to me completely blank with no sealant residue. *sealant residue will result in blotchy dye. However, if you are going for a vitiligo effect this will achieve it in most cases. The residue will dye darker and then when it gets cleaned off the resin underneath will be significantly lighter and in some cases, undyed. **Let me know if you have purposely left sealant residue. Results of this process will vary.**
Dolls will be wiped with 99% alcohol and rinsed in water prior to dye jobs.
Companies that i have experience dyeing:
The best: Dollzone, Little Monica, Migidoll, Luts (consistently very even)
Very good: Akagi Doll (not perfect but just a bit uneven)
Decent: Dream of Doll, Dividing Line/Fenjiexian, Xagadoll, Resinsoul (some unevenness)
Not great: Doll Family-A and H (very noticably uneven), Shoushou Doll (however others have had good experiences so i'm willing to try again)
Absolutely not: Loongsoul, Unoa (extremely uneven. I will NOT take commissions for these brands!)
Companies i do not personally have experience dyeing but others had good results:
Myou doll, Doll in Mind, Withdoll, Soom, Doll Chateau, Lillycat, Fairyland
Examples:

I dyed my dividing line bjd. Still need to give her a faceup. There was sanding marks that showed up, especially on the sides of the torso. But the worst of it is hidden by clothes so I'm happy.

@maleficentmrsofallevil I think doll zone just dropped two new 1/5th scale dolls as well!
Good luck and while I'm sorry for your pain and suffering this was a hilarious read!
The BJD White Whale
In Herman Melville's Moby Dick, Captain Ahab went on a revenge quest against a white sperm whale (named Moby Dick) for biting his leg off in a prior voyage. This revenge quest ended up basically destroying good ol' Ahab.
BJD collectors talk all the time about "grails" - the dolls you want but may never find. Don't ever read much about them white whales, tho. The doll you were going to create, the character you were going to shell, the hybrid you planned, and years later, your plan still hasn't panned out. The mods were too difficult. The glue never adhered properly. The dye didn't take.
My white whale: a hybrid for this legit Fairyland Chic Line Lishe head with literally any legit body.
Tumblr media
This bitch's head has caused me so much frustration and misery.
I picked a fight with a DOA mod over this bitch. I have spent an uncounted amount of money trying to find a body for this bitch. I have met some of the worst collectors in the BJD hobby over this bitch. ("They can't re-release this line, or my doll will go down in value, and that's just unacceptable." No. Your doll is gonna yellow, and down down down goes your value, kiddo.)
Sure, she doesn't look too bad on this Dollpamm Skinny(F01) body when she's got clothes on, but take them off or look at her sideways, and...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Neck flare!
Sure, the Doll Family H Xiao Chan 1/5 scale girl body is the right size, but it's totally the wrong look for a mature female head:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've learned that doll-company provided measurements are totally unreliable: I purchased 2D Doll Cherry Tomato. According to the website, her measurements were almost perfect.
Tumblr media
Got the doll. She was HUGE.
Tumblr media
1/4 scale? More like 50 cm tweener.
Tried Dollshe 16F and 26F fashion-sized dolls. Shoulders were way too broad. Even tried a SugarBone body and a discontinued Allegorica Evelyn. No dice.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So when the dealer emailed me back and said Fairyland wasn't interested in rebooting the line without hundreds of customers, welp - this Captain Ahab went out and bought another body.
Tumblr media
Huajing 1/4 special body. Like 2D Doll, the measurements should be perfect. I'm not worried about height - I had the head on a Ficondoll body, and I was good with the height.
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, I am certifiable.

We're still close to Halloween, so I guess I can still post these, right? Right?? Please, they're 2 years old at this point (possibly even 3, I'm not sure anymore T_T), I need them out there!

Shot and edited this photoshoot a total of three times, twice yesterday and once today with my camera settings fixed. Still too dark and didnt like most but much more reasonable. Also experimented with drawing in some stuff on procreate to give it a different vibe than my usual dioramas, despite using the same couch.
Also, very rare for my photoshoots- significant pose alterations! Tried to give the vibe that Eko is chatting and gesturing while Jameson is listening and getting up to futz with the skateboard.

This is one of my personal faceups on a Kana Doll Lucien Nr. 08 head originally in white skin, but matched to Soom'S cream white. I modded his human ears to curled elvish ones as he's a unicorn (his horn is magnetic and stays along the wig.
He's the thief that stole my Soom Heliot's hoofed body, but that's okay, he looks very sweet on it!
Enjoy this quick video of his shimmery faceup
I added a ton of gold shimmer to his ears, eyes, and lips. The earrings are only glued on as I don't like piercing my own dolls' ears (despite having modded them already).

What a sweet unicorn boy, all decked out for traveling!
