Fig's Face

Fig has some things she needs to talk to you about.


Right. My turn. It happened, I couldn't stand it any more so I wiped her old chipped, dirty face off and redid it the other night. I also sanded her eyelids, it's a really minimal mod, basically I wanted to get rid of that odd lid fold that starts halfway across the eye on the Ante sculpt. It's always annoyed me because the paint always seeps into the crease when I do eye-liner. So I got rid of it and put my own eyelid crease in.

Other big changes for her face are the eyebrows. She always had weird brows because she was one of the first faceups I ever did and back then I wasn't sure what I was doing o.O No more backward brows, though  she did end up looking more doe-eyed and innocent than before. Aside from the brows I tried to keep her looking Figgy, but of course I'm not a machine and each of my faceups are 100% OOAK so I can never exactly replicate the same face twice.

As you can see we've decided to put the green blind eyes away, I'm waiting on some glass eyes that will hopefully be the right colour and size. These are Miette's old eyes, Miette got upgraded to Blake's old eyes. We like to play musical eyeballs in this house.

Future changes might include a new wig and some horns. I'm not sure about the wig, it's a fibre Monique wig, in a slightly shorter bobbed style. I ordered it yesterday on a whim. It might be too much of a change, her hair is very expressive, so I guess we'll see. The horns are adorable though. I'm really looking forward to those. Philbert is less enthused as he quite enjoys his spot on her head and isn't excited at the prospect of riding on her butt magnet.

Immie said...

Figgles!! She looks wonderful ^.^ I think her brows make her look so curious :3 Can't wait to see her complete!

Rikki said...

She super cute! Love the new lid creases. I really liked her old "backward" eyebrows! ;)

Ban said...

I love her !!! 'Her backwards' brows never bothered me, they were very characteristic of her but these are just as perfect. I think the biggest adjustment for me are her eyes but I know what you mean - I switch eyes a lot too. All in all, she is very Figgy and completely beautiful and unique !!!

Xhanthi said...

@Kass, me too, I'm itching to try out this new wig!
@Hane, I'm so glad you like her new look!
@Immie, thanks! curious huh? Yeah I can see that :)
@Rikki, hehe yeah those backward brows worked for her lol I'm liking her new creases too, I've been wanting to do that for such a long time!
@Ban, yeah at first I wasn't sure about the eyes, I kept messing with the positioning and it was really odd, but the more I look at her the more I like it. Hopefully the glass ones work out.

Hi Xhanthi! I love your fig!! She is so adorable and so mischievous! May I ask you a question? I am going to get a new eye for my Pukifee Ante too! What size eye are you using? is it 12mm?
Thank you so much!! ^_^

Xhanthi said...

@Joan, Thanks! Fig has always worn 10mm eyes, I think 12mm would be way too big for pukifee.

Joann said...

Thank you so much!! I was wondering whether fig wore bigger eyes because it looks bigger when i try to compare with my ante ^0^ Thank you again to clarify my doubt ^_^

Xhanthi said...

No problem, I'm happy to help! I think people mainly use 8mm or 10mm for pukifees, in this post Fig is wearing 10mm Glib acrylic eyes. In her newer photos she is wearing 10mm blue glass eyes from Hikaraxxy on DoA. My other pukifee all wear 10mm too.
