"Oh, we walked together, and talked together, and just before we say goodbye, he takes me in his arms, and then... I wake up."
Because there's no Princess Aurora, without Briar Rose! 🌹
She was another kind of challenge, but a challenge nonetheless 👀 This time I wanted to stray from the usual sweet expression, and went more with a "bratty" one 😁
Problem is, when trying to achieve it, it's so easy to actually step into "evil smile" territory 🤣
This repaint was actually my second attempt, after the first one I decided to take a day or two to really study her mold, and finally get what wasn't working...In the end, I went the hard way, and partially resculpted her face, while afraid to ruin a LE head, I knew I wouldn't have been satisfied otherwise, go big or go home basically 😅
For the dress, I've mostly kept the original concept in mind, with the same colors I remember from the VHS (the palette of the outfit on the restored version is too gray for my taste, give me the cream, the turtle dove, the beige, the maroon!!), saving the tiny spinning wheel embroidery on the corset...it seems like this doll has been one big experiment from start to finish 👀
In the end, I love how she turned out, and most of all I'm glad I didn't give up on the expression, I really hate to take the easy way, I know it would have frustrated me too much to leave untouched 😵💫
Better make that kind of decision at the start of the process than at the end 🫠

Asha & Starboy
Since it’s February and Valentine Day is coming, I give you: The Cutest Couple that Never Was!
I know I said in a previous post that Wish (2023) disappointed me, BUT-
The concept had so much potential; the King and Queen being both evil, Asha having powers from the start and of course, STARBOY! I just love that concept of a playful magical being that could also potentially be a cute love interest to Asha, but they can’t be together because he must go back to the sky at the end or something (literal star-crossed lovers). So since Disney didn’t deliver, I did it myself.
Details below:
I sculpted their faces with Fimo and for the bodies, I used a snapstar doll body for Asha and a cheap modified BJD doll for Starboy (he was too tall, so I had to saw the legs shorter and give him monster high hands), I also slightly modified Asha’s design and dress (I wanted it more flowy), and while I did took inspiration from the concept arts for Starboy, I decided to design my own outfit for him, something that resemble more a shiny jester outfit, given he was supposed to be a joyous character (we were robbed, seriously).
fun fact: those wish balls are actually painted bouncing balls.
Bonus: Star's first draft

So in an absolute accident, I gently (gently!) tried to tilt her head a lil to see what kind of flange we might be working with, and her neck vinyl just straight sheared right off.
I think she would look better on a super curvy va va voom body like omg or even rh, but this preschool bod caught my eye as I was digging around, as potentially orange enough to sorta-match.
Wow what a cutie!
💯 blame @dolljunk and @prostheticthinking

Hybrid successes: Volks SDGr Ariel (pinkish fair)/ Angell-studio mermaid body (milk)
I have to say I love my version slightly customish Ariel over the company fullset. I dyed a light brown lace-front wig a more muted brownish red instead of the more canon firetruck red hair since i preferred that color and noticed that the volks ariel wig sometimes could show the wig cap if you didn't position the hair just so. The texture blue eyes I made after a few iterations of different colors lol.
For the AS mermaid body: though it's too blue to be canon, i dyed the mermaid body a more saturated blue since originally it had was almost a blue grey (faded with time? dunno, it was a 2nd hand purchase) and highlighted the scales blue green mica mixed with acrylic gloss. The purple seashell bra, also came from AS but with a different mermaid. The color is perfect, but i do wish they were slightly bigger, but o well.

"Heart, don't fail me now; Courage, don't desert me; Don't turn back now that we're here.."
Here she is, the first of a trilogy: Anastasia/Anya in her orphanage look!I always loved this look in the movie so much and ever since my first Anastasia repaint in 2016 I wanted to recreate that one for a doll glad I was finally able to do that! Unfortunately the hat doesn't fit anymore with that hairstyle.. and the original doll never came with that enormous jacket. Guess I have to do another one some day that can wear the hat and maybe commission someone with the jacket
Let me know what you think of her :3
repainted with high pigmented artist acrylic paints // hair rerooted & styled // clothes: original Galoob Anastasia doll // before doll: 2021 Shop Disney 11" Cinderella classic doll
