BJD: Young Bby *Maru-Light

Photography / Still Life / Dolls and Figures

Don't panic, I didn't repaint Dolly!B. I actually got a duplicate mold some time ago because the Leeke Mihael is one of my favorite molds out there and I was eager to paint another one after painting B. Well, I painted him tonight... and he gave me such grief in the process--things went wrong with his sealer and all sorts of other technical difficulties, he took me twice as long as he should have because I was trying to repair damage as it was happening.

Never a happy time.

But he pulled through. Now initially I just wanted to paint the boy, I didn't know who he was, or who I wanted him to b (haha pun) but after all that happened and all was said and done, I put him together and well... there he was.

For argument's sake, let's call him 'Young B.' This could be B when he first came to Wammy's as a little boy (and he's a small doll too, lol, much smaller than Dolly!B) Or perhaps he's a young B of a whole different nature...

In any event. He nearly killed me tonight. He's earned it.

He figured out who he was

His name is Born Beloved.

Faceup & photo by me.

~Carrion-Romance Jan 27, 2011 Photographer

hes gorgeous. i love the all over skin texture you gave him. You are so talented. how did you learn to do this?

*Maru-Light Jan 27, 2011

Thank you

I've been wanting to try some different things with faceups, and the skin texture I think worked out well

I used to do a lot of painting, drawing and sculpting, etc which sort of carried over to the dolls. I've been painting them since about 2008 I believe. Checking out tutorials in the community and studying the techniques of other artists helped get me started. ^^

~Carrion-Romance Jan 27, 2011 Photographer

hmm. is it airbrushed? cuz ive tried and tried to be able to do something like that and i guess its just not the same as sketching.
