( August 2025 ) Daniel and Tennant updated faceups! I kinda crammed to get these two ready before Resin Rose. I was pretty nervous doing the faceups because I’m still pretty happy with the old ones, especially Daniel! I think Tennant’s is an improvement but I don’t know about Daniel’s. I might end up doing him again. I tried to match his coloring to his hands more, though (They were painted when I got them). I did in fact spend a full working/weekend day painting Daniel’s body hair.
After I finished the doll sculpts for Tennant and Jilles, I (very poorly) sculpted some hair and busts for them to use for drawing reference. This is also a pretty good example of how the sculpts look in the sculpting program vs. in printed form.
More OC’s! I actually got these two printed along with Daniel in the Resione. This is the fourth iteration on Tennant (one arm), but the first time I’ve made Jilles (scars). It is entirely by accident that his doll looks like the halfway point between Daniel and Tennant haha.
For Tennant, the primary focus I had was just making him “prettier”. He still looks like him, but I wanted him to read more immediately as someone who was disarmingly handsome in a Disney Prince/Ken doll kind of way. Jilles is supposed to be long-faced and gaunt. He’s good-natured but kind of intimidating, and much younger than the other too, but barely looks it because of how ill he is.

( August 2025 ) This was my entry for the photography contest at Resin Rose 2025. I did not win but I was pretty happy with how it turned out! Bonus alternate and behind the scenes:
( May 2025 ) Customhouse Choa! She came with a layer of eyeliner and sealant and nothing else but I tried to keep her faceup fairly light. I was inspired by a Tianba tutorial where they used pastel only to draw the lashes but I did use some paint in the end too.
Ace of Dolls Page all together back at the scene of the crime! (Resin Rose 2025)
(Young) Tennant in Svilland DnD Campaign
( July 2025 ) I finished Angel’s faceup alongside Page’s. You can see two things in the process: one is that I once again started trying to use purples before remembering that I don’t like them and pivoting to warm colors again, and the other is how every layer looks terrible before being sprayed because of the white pastel base required for the colors to show up.
( July 2025 ) Here’s the faceup process for the Ace of Dolls page I won in the raffle at Resin Rose 2023! I airbrushed them in white and yellow originally planning for a soft lovebird/parakeet kind of effect but somehow the yellow I used totally overpowered the white layer to go BRIGHT TOXIC GREEN. Luckily I really liked that too but I had to pivot my plan so something bolder haha.
