My first try at repainting a Barbie! I'm pretty happy with how she came out for my first try! I can't wait to try again! ^^
I did her hair too. :) She might need a reroot anyway, since it seems a little sparse on top... Maybe that'll be my next experiment!

Noel Cruz is one of the most versatile & distinguished repaint artists in the doll community. He is most recognized for his character & celebrity based dolls due to their uncanny resemblance to the people they portray. His dolls are derived from several models like Gene, Tyler, Sydney, etc, by various doll-makers such as Robert Tonner & Franklin Mint. His repaints as well as his portraits are done with intricate detail to the point of being naturally lifelike in essence. Highly regarded among collectors and artists alike, Noel attempts to raise the bar and bring a fresh take to the common mass produced doll with every face he paints. Noel's specialty is with one of a kind repaints. The beauty of repaints is that almost no two are exactly alike just as no two artists are alike.

Do you remember my Gaganás? (Lady Gaga + Satanás/Satan because she was ugly as hell) xD

It was my first repaint and well... It was terrible as you can see! ahahaha
So I decided to try to save her face one more time. Which was really hard work because I had done the first repainting with a permanent marker. - Kids, don't do this at home, I was very noob.-
The eyebrows were a challenge, but I used a secret ninja technique using white paint to cover the maker and shades of brown to reach the skin tone of the doll.
But in the end it was much better (or less ugly...)
I fixed her hair and followed the amazing tutorial for Shuiimedina to make bangs. Thanks a lot! <3

L: For our eight month anniversary, I commissioned a Draculaura repaint from Danny a.k.a. Custom-Dolls for R. :) Here is the absolutely stunning result. Thank you so much, Custom-Dolls!
Draculaura wears Moxie Alice dress, Star Doll necklace, School's Out stock shoes and basic stock earrings and totes Liv Evil Red Queen's croquet flamingo.
I have caught the repaint bug!! And since I had an extra Allan doll, I decided to repaint him today. Eventually I will get a Ken repainted. I have ordered one especially to repaint. Cant wait for him to get there.
Anyway, I decided I wanted this Allan to be a blonde blue eyed boy. So, that is what I did. I mixed up a blond color that was similar to painted hair Ken's hair color, but I decided I wanted to do some highlighting and shading on the hair. I went to town doing that.
I hope you enjoy this guy. I really had fun transforming him. :)
(I think i need to take a darker shot of this repaint,
as this picture doesn't show off the paint job that well.)
Protofrom Optimus Prime came with the 3 bot movie battle pack alongside Jazz and Brawl.
This was the only bot in the pack that i wasn't enthusiastic about. As much as I love Prime, the odd blue/grey paintjob did nothing for me.
But once i saw Jins repaint, i knew what must be done.
This was my first Transformers repaint, and i think it went pretty well. i can't wait to get my hands on more awesome molds with crappy paint schemes now :P
I also bulked up the lower half of the face with some random model parts to try and reduce the strange "sour lemons" expression that the original sculpt had.
the new faceplate looks a little odd from this angle, but i'm pleased with it overall.
ps. Does this head sculpt say "movie Soundwave" more than optimus prime to anyone else..or is it just me?
I am a HUGE fan of the hunger games so I decided to create this combination of a repainted clawdeen head and a create a monster cat body.I made the bow myself (I don't have any arrows yet).Her outfit is from the basic toralei stripe doll and fashion pack.
Took me around 8 hours due to me experimenting with paint, learning how it adhered to the figure, etc, etc. I say not too bad for my first time painting an action figure, still needs some touch ups and details.
My first boy repaint :D I got him at second hand store. I have no idea what model from Bratz company he is.
WOO HOO! We're getting there!
Next I add the eyelashes. I start by placing my paintbrush tip against the black eyeliner that I painted earlier... then painting outward and upward to make each individual eyelash.
GO SLOWLY! There is no need to rush eyelashes. I always count them as I go too, so that there is an even amount of lashes on each eye... and don't forget to paint the lower lashes!
Then there are the eyebrows.
These are difficult to get even. It really takes some eyeballing.
This is also when I add the color to the eyes. I start with a color slightly lighter than the base color, and paint it in a half moon arc (there is no need to paint the center, it will be covered with black).
Then I paint more and more lighter colors on... making sure to focus the lightest parts on one side of the eye.
After I like the color build up, I paint on the black pupils... going very slowly and making sure they look like they match, and don't give the doll a wonky stare.
After the black is painted on, I go back and add some more lighter colors to the iris... just to give it some pop.
As far as the eyebrows are concerned... I paint only the most simple, and basic of shapes first.... then try as hard as I can to mimic it on the other side. Once I feel that they are about even, I give them more detail.
Justine was repainted after I accidentally ruined her stock makeup in a well-meaning attempt to de-glitter her eyeshadow. Despite the mishap, I think she turned out pretty well. :)
