Opinions please!

Out of a fit of "hey that might be fun" I remade a "normal" porcelain doll into a GL dolly.
I don't really like the look of shiny satin on human GL garb, but I figured that dollies have more of an excuse since they are tiny and can get away with a certain jewel-like ornateness. (which I'm working on...practice practice!)

Anyways I was just looking for your opinions on my first venture into GL dolly making. I did repaint her face, but I think it may need to have a darker makeup look. I think in retrospect that the rosy cheeked and pink lipped look is more for cute country lolitas, and I should repaint her face again. Also no more shiny satin unless I can really do it up right, a less "generic" lolita style and nicer lace. Being me...I can find a hundred things I want to change for next time. ^_^;;;
So please give me some honest opinions! I take constructive criticism well ^_~




Thanks in advance!

Sorry bout that ^_~
I have a few friends that are absolutely creeped out by ANY dolls...and ESPECIALLY my Blythes and Dollfie ^^;;;
Are you just creeped out in general...or is there something about this dolly in particular.
(Because I kinda agree...her eyes are kinda odd O_o)

The clothes and hair look great! May I make a small suggestion on the face though? Perhaps enhancing her eyes by using dramatic eyeliner style painting around the upper lids especially might enhance the doll better, and as you said, maybe some darker makeup (lipstick?). Looking great though! Especially for a first try. I look forward to seeing more.

I think the skin tone looks fine personally, but that might be my inhibitions to repainting skin on dolls, ive had limited success with that. ;x hehe

Thank you!

Yeah I'm thinking of painting her lips a more wine color to match her ribbons, and probably use that dollfie trick of painting the little lip right next to the eye a fleshy/maroonish tone. I think smudgey black/wine and some lashes might make her eyes look alot better.
I don't want the makeup too terribly dark, since I hardly see makeup like that on the lolitas that are pictured in the magazines. But she could certainly use some eye definition.

Should her skin tone by lighter?...that's something else I'm wrestling with.

Wow, nice! The eyes are a little creepy though. But it's a really great outfit.
