This is my third face-up attempt on Ethan, my Dollshe Bernard.
Ethan's faceup #3 was done with pastels from Volks. I used them wet for the lips, lashes and brows. I haven't sealed it because, well, it's not good enough to keep.
I like the color scheme, for his eyes. I like his brows. His lips are too pink and, up close, not full enough, and his lashes are just...not good. I need a finer brush for lashes. I still like Ethan with the painted lashes rather than gluing in upper lashes.
My original plan for Ethan, when I thought I was getting the Rhythmos body, which is lanky was a backstory where he overcame a drug addiction due to the death of a close friend. The first two face-ups had more of a tired, bedraggled look, which fit his story.
I was lucky enough to have the cash in hand to take advantage of the Dollshe Pure Body Event last month. I have a long wait ahead of me, which is fine, as I now have time to work on his face.
The Pure Body is, well, glorious (check it out: Pure Body Event). Beautifully defined muscles yet lean. The body of a fit young man. I can't give him a bedraggled look now, which seems inconsistent for his body. Now I'm going for a different look - more fit, but keeping his back story. Further along in his recovery by the time his body arrives.
Ethan's wig was Hiro's defaut wig, which I trimmed, thinking of David Bowie as the Goblin King in Labyrinth. Bill's comment was Ethan looked very Duran Duran. Well, you probably get where this is going.
The bonus: Dollshe is including an SA head with the Pure Body. That's Silent Afternoon, or, a face with closed eyes. This is a very happy bonus but another face-up to figure out.
I don't know how many tries it will take to get a look I like. Hopefully, I'll get the face I want by the time his body arrives.
Happy crafting!
