Aesthetics of July 2015

But what can I say?! I love painting Byggs and Beylas! XD Luckily I have one more on the line, since Meringue came with the OE head as well. I'm still a bit undecided on how to paint it (delicate but neutral so more people might be into it or go all out and whacky, so it'll be a better example for my portfolio but attracts smaller crpwn of potential buyers), but it'll be fun!

I know I had blue-pink hooves drawn in the mock-up, but I ended up going with golden-pink in the end. It looked much prettier in my head, but when I did the mock-up, it just looked too messy. But I think the pink gradient with the golden hooves looks cute on its own ^-^

Then, the tail! I was painting Turpentine's tail when I started to think that it would be soo cute to paint those swirls in blue and pink pastels, like a marshmellow :3 So even if I gave up on the blue for the hooves, I wanted to keep it in the colours of the tail. Because horses often have a tail and mane of different colour than the body. And Meringue will have blue in her wig, so tail needs to (somewhat) match, right? :D
OMG that work on those hooves is just the loveliest!!! I ADORE them *u*
VastaaPoistaI said it already but your work here was outstanding, I love it all
You planning on selling the human head ? :O
Thank you so much for your compliments! ^-^ Meringue is by far (and also so far) the work I'm most proud of. I'm just so bummed I don't take so many pictures of the finished doll >_<
VastaaPoistaAnd yes, I need to sell the human head off. I didn't actually want to get a set that included it in the first place, but I just had to take this offer I got. But I already have the same head in NS and grey and plan to get it in tan as well, so a white one would be just a tad overkill! XD I really, really don't want it to start developing a character for itself... But I do want to give it a face-up, a really glamorous one, before selling it.
