I've been trawling through different esthetic services for bjds, trying to decide whether or not I'm going to get Abi sent off to get a new face up or if I'm going to do her's again myself.
The thing that is definitely swaying my decision towards sending her head off to get it done is that I want her shading to match more with Gideon's (Volks Tony) because currently although they look awesome together, it always looks like the lighting on Abi is completely different to the lighting on Giddie. I'm not sure that this would've bothered me so much had
jtph_jo not pointed it out to me, nor if she hadn't gotten her Volks eyelashes ruined and half ripped in the trip to Melbourne. But anyway, its been pointed out to me now and I can't get it out of my head. XD
Basically this means I need to use an airbrush to get the kind of shading/blushing especially that I'm going to require. Having no access to one, and assuming that I'm going to need a LOT of time with one to get the kind of strokes and colouring right (last time I used an airbrush correctly was 10 years ago) I'm thinking its going to be much better for me to get a face for her commissioned.
Which leads me to the following question:
What Customizers/Esthetic services do you recommend, especially for girl bjds?
I'm leaning towards
Pookie, although I've been looking at
Po Make-Up and of course
Grace cause she's a friend of mine. XD Although I would love a face up on one of my dolls from Grace one day, I'm thinking though her specialized looks aren't for Abi. Although Esadora on the other hand... *contemplates commissioning her for my Ciel*
I used to be on the waiting list for Evenstar, but obviously that's a no go anymore, and although I would kill, maim and disembowel for a
Violet Poem or a
Paranoia Doll I'm not sure that either of those are options anymore -- cause aren't they are y!j only now, no?
So really, I'm just floundering *laughs*
