Euclid

*//U//* Eeep! My lovely Euclid finally has a new faceup!!

 

TEXTWALL AHOY

 

T3T Haha yeah...unfortunately i've been going through a personal rough patch in life lately as well as have been very busy with commissions so I haven't really had the time or energy to really work on my dolls as much as I want(ed) to. I have made/done a small bit of dolly things over the last few months but I also haven't had much time or energy to share them yet, I guess in part because i'm in a period of thought when it comes to my dolls and its difficult for me to want to share them at points when i'm deeply undecided and contemplating them. Its also incredibly frustrating for me that I have so many projects and new ideas for my dolls that I want to work on but I can't either because of a lack of time and/or funds so please do excuse me for being such a secluded and angsty dolly person lately. I do really need to get back to making dolly videos soon again though I just don't want my videos to be annoying/depressing/idkwhatsgoingon type of things and that's what I've felt i'd be creating for a while so I stopped asdfghjkl-

;-; Hopefully you guys can understand and aren't too upset with me that i've been quite distant lately. I still adore my dolls and the hobby of course, but we all have confusion and frustrations for the things we love and need a little distance sometimes.

 

Anyways, Euclid!

TwT So yeah, I did finally find the time/motivation to redo Euclid's faceup! I had meant to redo it for quite a while because the style and colors of their old faceup was never exactly canonically accurate but I didn't get a chance to do so on my break as I wanted to. Then not long ago Eui's head took a tumble and got some scratches in it so now it was REALLY time to redo it. *A* It was a bit of a challenge actually because its really very different from their old faceup in almost every way. I've mentioned it before but Euclid was never meant to have pink be the main color in their faceup as it was before but I did that because at the time I was less experienced with doing faceups and using more unique color combos so I sort of just took the easy way out and made Eui's faceup more pink and "natural" than it should have been. This time around I felt much more confident that I had the skills and vision necessary to bring their character to life much more accurately. It was tedious and a bit frustrating experimenting with a lot of little details trying my best to get them right but thankfully I think it worked out as I'm actually really happy with how it turned out!!~

^u^ These aren't the best pictures to show it off really but hopefully you can see that its very different than before. I incorporated a lot of blue in addition to purple in their faceup as Eui's skintone as like my unicorn character's bodies are made from gemstones therefore their skin tends to glimmer with multiple colors. I was thinking of leaving out pink entirely as I typically view Eui's skin as being a very very pale purple-grey with light blue highlights but when applied to them in bjd form it was just a bit too cold and "alien" like for their character. Speaking of their character, Euclid's overall look and expression was kind of hard for me to decide on as while they are a proud, intelligent, sophisticated, and formal person who purposefully projects upon themselves an added look of cold sternness, they are also a very selfless, coquettish, benevolent, and vivacious person by nature and its important that, while quite different, these sides of their personality shine through their intentional veil of severity. I always felt their old faceups were a bit too "nice" looking if that makes sense. Euclid is definitely a very warm and open person but should have a rather harsh front. xD It doesn't make much sense i'm sure since their faceup is by society's standards very feminine but by my own perception of Euclid and my own characters/aesthetic I view it as being somewhat more masculine now, which, since Euclid is genderfluid, is important for their character. Like, they are supposed to give the impression that they are glamorous but quite obviously either a boy who is trying to look intentionally more feminine or a girl trying to intentionally look more masculine. xD ...Its hard to explain but hopefully you know what I mean and you can tell haha.

I changed the shape, color and and thickness of their eyebrows to look sharper and more masculine as well as implied a heavier upper eyelid to give a more flirtatious look. I also made their bottom lashes darker and sharper for a more harsh and dramatic look. The only think I wasn't 100% sure about was how I wanted to paint their mouth as unlike a lot of my characters who have fuller lips, distinct shapes and more emphasis on their mouths as key features, i've always imagined Euclid's mouth to be smaller and not be as much of a focal point or definitive feature as it is with a lot of my other characters. xD Hence why i've always colored it minimally and not intentionally painted it to look open unlike almost all my other dolls. This time I painted it more prominently in the style I usually do and its the only thing in their new faceup that I can't say is necessarily more canonically accurate, but I like it just fine for now and it does go well with their current faceup. I may or may not paint it more simple again in the future whenever I decide to redo their faceup again. xD This one is definitely going to stay for a while though hopefully as I am really happy with it and how much better it capture's their character~

TwT I know its very different, but hopefully you all like it too~

Next step is going to be blushing their entire body....but maybe i'll just work on their hands for now xD

 

*U* ALSO SEAHORSE TAIL WOO! xD I really need a better setup to take pictures of Eui with it but I just adore them so much with their lovely tail and just had to try my best to get it in some shots even if it isn't complete yet. I still need to dye it one more time to add the black layers to it but its still beautiful all purple too~

xD Also speaking of little dolly things i've made ages ago that I haven't shown off yet; I made Eui a cute little harness, a new horn, little books, and some bouquets of roses. I also made Eui some seashell epaulets but I didn't put them on for some reason asdfgh- next time I guess.

;w; Ahh I just adore Euclid so much! I have so many more things I want to make for them but alas, most of them probably won't be anytime soon as I'll be needing to focus on another doll in the near future...but lets just say that Euclid will be more than happy to wait for this other doll in particular... oh ho ho! e//w//e

Euclid (gender fluid) is a modded Fairyland Minifee Luka in Beautiful White skin. Faceup, mods, horn, wig, books, clothes, and bouquet by me. Seahorse tail (like this and all of my other dolls) is 100% legit and has been custom dyed a different color using iDye Poly by me.
