I mention this because I’m not especially talkative, especially online.  If I have something useful to add, I will.  If I don’t think I have anything to say that is either a) useful or b) interesting I tend to spare my fingers the typing and everyone else’s eyes the reading.  If I were a comedian, I would definitely be one of those “Don’t think I’m nearly as funny as I am” people.

I’m sure there are dozens of topics I could talk about that people would find interesting, just as there are dozens of topics I could talk abut that I don’t generally because I think most people would find it terribly boring.  Like my fascination with nail polish.  See?  I bet your eyes are already glazing over.

(suffer the sparkles!)

And yet there are blogs on nailpolish.  I’ve visited them.  To me, they are interesting because they are things I don’t already know.  However, this is not a website about nailpolish, it’s a website about customizing.  Therefore, to most people reading this, the nailpolish is not so interesting.

See the problem? I don’t blog for myself, because I already know everything I put in the articles and tutorials.  To me, most of the things I could write about are less interesting than reading an article on how to wet-marble nailpolish, because I don’t know how to do that and I already figured out how to do whatever it is I would be blogging about.

What’s the point of all this?  Feedback.  Specifically, if you all want to see more posts in the future, tell me what you want to see more of. Pictures of customs?  Random dissertations of the evolution of the pullip bust line?  The story of the time I accidentally shrunk a doll head?  Leave a comment here (or in whatever blogpost is most recent if that’s easier)or shoot me an email.

Very few anime faces have complex makeup. You might get a bit of blush to the cheeks or lips but that’s more of an exception to the rule. Yuzuki still needed to be ‘upgraded’ from animator/illustrator style, so I consulted the already released Dollfie counterpart, Chii. Chii got a bit of light blushing on the cheeks and around the eyes, and a bit of light lipgloss, so so did Yuzuki.

Working on this dollfie also confirmed what I suspected while working on a mini bjd face previously, which is that resin (a kind of plastic) takes pastels/paints a bit better than pullip plastic. The mimi face was stripped of makeup and primed the same way a pullip face is, and they’re about the same size, so it was a more equal comparison this time around.
