Lookback Shiwoo Faceup

( August 2025 ) Here’s my Lookback Shiwoo that I’ve used to reshell/replace the modded Tika head. I incorporated similar design elements but I’m much happier with the way that they look. I entered them in the faceup contest at Resin Rose 2025 and did not win but I’m still proud of them haha. I actually tested a bunch of lower lashes digitally before deciding that I really just preferred them with the thick liner only.

PNW BJD Expo 2023

(Making an earnest effort to get all my doll/art posting caught up so hopefully you don’t mind the backlog queue!) June 2023 – Photos from PNW BJD Expo

( 14 November 2022 ) I burnt out on dolls a bit towards the end of the year due to the combination of receiving a LOT of dolls I had been waiting for really close together, and getting ready to move out. But I saw this Lunnula Moonbeams head with a faceup by @theugliestwife that I had missed out on earlier in the year and I had to jump on her! She’s on the leftover mix of Feeple and Delf body parts from Soony.

( 16 June 2022 ) Fiiiiinally got this
girl together! She’s been in progress forever. I got a second Minifee
Soony head last summer because I really wanted to do up a darker-skinned
Soony. I went through a few bodies before deciding that I liked this
one best. It’s the Dream Valley B4-11 body in the limited Chocolate
resin (although from what I saw, some people got a much lighter color
for chocolate =( ). The body has a super long neck with a flare at the
top, so I found that she looked best without the Minifee neck piece. I
was able to use a neck donut from @peachdaydreams
to attach the head (pic in the carousel if you wanted to see how it
works). I also used a kip to pad things. The only downside is that the
neck donut keeps knocking her eye out of place, haha. Her face is
airbrushed and I’m honestly really proud of how much better this attempt
went than my past attempts. Her wig is too big and that makes me sad
but other than that I’m really happy with her!

Airbrushed Minifee Soony on Dream Valley body WIP shots! (March/April 2022) My airbrush was exceptionally well-behaved for this one.

This DV body B4-11 was the darker event color (Coffee) from August 2021. Different people got very different colors out of that event. Mine is pretty dark, more similar to Iplehouse’s light brown than the tan shades I saw some other people receive. That’s why I took the comparison photo.

Resin comparison: Rosenlied WS, Dream Valley white, Resinsoul NS, Fairyland NS (2020), Dream Valley Yellow (2021), Fairyland Tan (~2016 and greened), Serenade Doll Tan (older, environmental resin… bought some parts from them in 2022 and they were the same color but opaque?), Dream Valley Coffee (2022), Iplehouse Light Brown

Soony group shot! So, a very kind user on DoA responded to my WTB for a LTF body for the LTF Soony faceplate I recently got. She mentioned having other old CP/Fairyland items she was looking to sell, and very kindly offered to sell me this sleeping Delf Soony in addition to the LTF body. I was totally shocked! I am collecting Soonies but I never would have expected to find this one. She’s wonderful. She’s on a very old v1 Dollfie Dream body, which I actually do like (especially the color, it’s a soft beige almost like RS’s Coffee tone), but I haven’t decided if I want to have her on the leftover F60/Delf parts body instead since it matches her. Also, forgive the unfinished faceup on the little one!
( P.S. If anyone wants to sell me a F60 elf Soony, especially in WS, to complete the collection I will appreciate you very much )
( P.S.S. REALLY hoping that Fairyland does Soony for the next round of Lookback dolls )

Faceup process and a comparison between my Juri’s new and old faceups. It’s pretty fun to see 3.5 years of faceup progress! I actually really wanted the heavy coloration look originally, but I didn’t have very pigmented pastels, and the whole faceup was done in 2 layers. (The new one is 3, I’m not that NOT lazy still =p) I tried to contour her nose to look wide/flatter. I also added a comparison of a phone photo taken up close and one taken further back and cropped because she looks really different with the lens distortion.

More things I’ve had going for a while… I actually got a second Minifee Soony head that I wanted to use to make a darker skinned Soony. I had still been meaning to repaint my original Minifee Soony as well, since she was airbrushed (poorly) to match her old body. Since I’m waiting for the dark tanned body, I decided to repaint the new head as the original one’s character so that I could use the old faceup as an immediate reference, or keep it if I didn’t like the redo as much. I’m pretty happy with her though!
