He's still got more work to do, but Gideon (Giddy) is coming along nicely. I haven't painted a doll since October, so its nice to find that I'm not too rusty. It helps that this sculpt is sooooooo beautiful. Julia is so immensely talented, not only with her sculpting, but she is a big influence with my faceups, I admire her skills so much!
Gargouille représentant un ours sur le toit de l'église de la commune d'Angles situé sur la côte Vendéenne.
Selon une légende due à la plume de l'érudit poitevin du XIXe siècle, Benjamin Fillon, cette « malebête », qui ressemble à un ours, dévorait impitoyablement jeunes gens et jeunes filles de la contrée. Elle avait coutume de se baigner dans une ruisseau proche, dont elle sortait le poil tout hérissé. Ce serait l'explication du nom donné à ce ruisseau : le Troussepoil.
C'est un saint homme, qui, après cinq nuits de jeune et de prière, se serait rendu maître de la bête et qui l'aurait forcée à monter au sommet du pignon de l'église. Là, il l'aurait changée en pierre, et pour punir les filles du pays de leurs moqueries à son encontre, il aurait jeté un dernier sort à la bête, la condamnant à ne plus se nourrir que de « la beauté des filles d'Angles » ; laquelle beauté n'aurait ainsi fait que dépérir depuis...

I got my LLT Neil today! The sculpt is beautiful, though manlier in person than I was expecting! The neck hole is HUGE, particularly on the inside, which makes me hope that the neck hook in the body I got for it will be big enough (I ordered a dollshe Arsene to use the body, god knows when it will arrive, lol.)
I put the head on my 5th Motif Venitu body, and, though LLT suggested using this body for the head, I find the neck MUCH too long for it, and it has very limited mobility (can't really tilt side to side.) It just looks very awkward to me, but if someone was willing to sand down the neck, it would be okay.
The eyes I have in him are cheapo 12mm glass eyes. There is a bit of gapping because they are round, but I think a flatter backed 12mm eye with small irises will look really good (and are what I plan to get as soon as dollbakery has some either in stock or does a preorder, lol.)

Its not the best and not quite what I originally envisioned, but it suits his messy hobo look, haha. I wish it was blonder, it IS dark blond in person but in pictures it has a reddish look, making it look like its strawberry blond instead of just regular blond, d'oh!
He got his AkagiDoll body stolen, but I remembered that LLT 2012 WS wan a nice match to DollShe's Freshskin so I tried him on my DollShe 35s body...
And now I have at least 3 heads on this body and I can't even buy another one because it's discontinued, FFF-
Oh well. That thin, lanky body is way better for the character than the Akagi body and its crazy lats xD
I was even considering changing the mold for this character since I feared that the Roderich head looked too young (especially since it looked kinda out of place on that body), but now, with that body and that tired and cold looking faceup and small eyes, it feels way better :D
I tried the tooth brush paint splashes technique again for skin texture, and I feel like I did it better than for Dauber...
... Except for the part where I ended up texturing the whole face darker than the body orz.
Haven't taken a pic of any of my dolls for a while. It's just been so hot and I don't want to put my sweaty hands all over them. But since the typhoon is coming in...and everything seems to have cooled down 5 degrees in my room...I can afford to putter around. Anyways...Tessiel's wig finally came in. I didn't know I'll find one so quick but the quality is pretty bad. That's my second wig from Dollmore that failed and I only bought the two from them. I don't think I wanna get anymore wigs from them in the future. I am however, extremely pleased with the accessories. His hat, and the guitar. He is Seifer's old man so it stands to reason he's into music!
