Forums General Chit-Chat Doll or Toy Customizers?

Donator — Monster Posted 6 years ago ( 2018/06/20 21:36:09 )
I'm just getting into doll customizations (mainly mini dolls) and wanted to know if there were any other customizers on here? :3

I've been working on the Monster High Minis because I have so many doubles and so many monster characters that it just seemed fitting. <3
I'll probably post one here once it's finished; still needs some work haha.

But yeah, what about you guys? Anyone do any minis as well? Discuss!

Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -
I don't, but that's something I've been interested in for awhile now. I'd love to get my feet wet with it, so to speak =)
Got any suggestions for where to start? XD

@Lady Luna:
Honestly I'm still getting my feet wet with it! :vanora_xd:
I'm not the best with drawing eyes yet so I've started by customizing blind box dolls - particularly the ones like the LOL girls or even Unicornio. If you don't have any maybe go to a thrift shop and find some cute used dolls and some acrylic paints? I've been pleasantly surprised with how many cute used dolls and paints there are. :,D

@Shark:
I've only started because I thought it looked cool! XD It's super relaxing and fun to do while watching videos though.

I've always wanted to but it's quite the expensive hobby to start up. I'd do it on MH dolls. I really don't like how wide the EAH doll heads are.
I watch a lot of doll customizers on youtube.... I love MoonlightJewel, Dollightful, Nicolle's Dreams...

@Neko:
Dollightful is my favourite! She's the one who inspired me to start. XD
It is kinda expensive, but I've found most of my supplies from WalMart and thrift stores. I'm not thinking of doing it professionally though. :vanora_sweat:

I used to have so many dolls, I don't know what happened to them lol. I remember trying to cut their hair. And my grandma made clothing for them.

Aw, my mom and I used to make clothes for my dolls too! And I also don't know what happened to mine...I had so many barbies and they all kind of just disappeared after I turned 8. :vanora_cry:

Probably the best way about it - I should've waited admittedly. XD

@Sulley: If you buy the materials over time I'm sure it's much better...but surely you want to buy it all at once so you can go home and play!

i've customized a few monster high dolls, but haven't really finished them XD
i've been scolded on using msc (mr super clear) sealant, cause i don't have a respirator.
safety first yo. i need to get myself a mask. o3o

here's some of the customs i've made:

@Zuzu:
I absolutely adore the first ones colour and eyebrows! :vanora_heart:
Good idea not using MSC without a mask, I've heard stories. ;_; Gotta be safe!

@Sulley: i re-did those eyebrows so many times XD

she's spray-painted gold, but the matte of the sealant kinda gives her a bronze-ish look.
i need to spray more sealant on her body tho cause she's still pretty shiny.

i've been doing the 'spray and run away' tactic which isn't smart XD
i have a normal dust mask but that's not enough.

@Zuzu: Aw, well they look absolutely fantastic (fangtastic for MH? I dunno) :vanora_heart:
Were you going for gold or bronze? Because I totally dig the bronze. XD
Wait, actually? I thought normal dust masks were fine! D:

@Sulley: i was going for gold, but bronze is good cause it's metallic.
i wanted a metal looking doll. o3o
when i get around to finishing her tho she will have a mary antoinette style wig and a fancy outfit.

normal dust masks like this:

is better than nothing i suppose, but they're not as good as something like this


a proper respirator is better i think since it blocks the fumes better from sealant.
