(no subject)
I think my favorite thing about customizing dolls is the looks I get when someone walks by and I have a table of bits. Link is mostly pulled apart at the moment, his face scrubbed off (which means eyeless as well! Hurrah for magic erasers), knees and lower legs piled up next to his arms (still caught in the sleeves of his bodysuit), hands on top of his shirt, rib cage through thighs sitting on one side of the table, head and upper chest on the other... XD
All the major trimming on his hair is done though I think, and he's been dipped in boiling water to take the crimp out of locks that had been braided when he was Finrod. I also took the opportunity to sculpt his bangs a bit while they were still hot (and only scalded my fingers a little bit). I'm gonna let his hair dry overnight and tomorrow I don't have to work so I'm going to at least paint some new eyes on him. I figure I can do eyes, eyebrows and probably lips tomorrow in paint, but finer contouring will have to wait until I can use my spray sealant because I do that with pastels and brushing over those would probably smudge them. Super pleased with his hair though.
