My tumblr has been shadowbanned💀

All good now though! I'm back from the dead with a bunch of new stuff. This is an ImomoDoll Apsu head I'm working on. She's going to be Coco from WHA. I'm so glad there is a company with more affordable vinyl anime-style dolls. Imomos aren't perfect and the body has some issues however I'm glad to have one, I really do. The vinyl is really nice and doesn't have a "cheap" feel to it. I might take the body apart and make it more poseable when I have more time.

More pictures of my Rose Quartz doll 💕

the new pixelated barbie faces are horrible to remove. ive tried following reddit advice on leaving soaked cotton balls of pure acetone on their faces for 20-30 min before trying to scrub the paint off but that barely even made a dent, and i repeated it like 3 times, ive only been able to get like 40% of the paint off at best. elbow grease seems to basically do nothing regardless.

due to getting careless from frustration i also accidentally got some acetone on their bodies so they have some melted scars now :( which sucks bc i bought them for their MTM bodies to begin with and removing the facepaint and repainting them was just supposed to be something unimportant to do with their old heads while i figure out what new heads to put on them..... so, lesson learned, pop the heads off before attempting to remove the paint on the pixelated dolls bc all the hard work makes it way more likely to accidentally damage the bodies.

anyone have any other advice about removing the pixelated facepaints than this "leave cotton soaked in acetone on them"?

doll customizers i need your help!! i’m rerooting for the first time (specifically mh g3 ghoulia and frankie) and i’m having some trouble getting the hair out. i managed to get nearly all of it, but there’s a few strands that just won’t go! i’ve been mainly scraping the glue off, but when i scrape those last few spots it does nothing and i don’t feel any resistance. i’ve heard of people using nail polish remover to dissolve the glue and i’m thinking of trying that next. if anyone has any tips i’d really appreciate it!!

(sorry for the poor picture quality, but you get the idea)

My completed Flandre Scarlet doll custom!

She was made using a secondhand Howleen Wolf as a base, and her dress was made using Requiem Art's Looking Glass Lolita and Meido Dresses patterns.

So I dressed up as Jane Doe for Halloween, and needed a headless doll. Here’s some wip shots because it was fun

Sometimes I get really discouraged looking at posts about doll customizing online. People will be like "my first ever custom does it look ok uwu" and it's like flawless?? Or post something amazing with nothing but criticisms toward themselves. Like damn, I'd love it if mine came out half as good.

Not trying to shade these people, i totally get being self critical, and if you do make something amazing on your first try I'm genuinely happy for you (just also jealous). But wondering if anyone else struggles with these feelings.
