I am currently working on modifying my Spencers Tiffany Doll to make her look more real. I have never done anything like this in my life and its hard. I got my inspiration from Howlrunner. I was able to start my process but not finish it. I will post pictures to help show my process. First I cut off her hair with scissors and then shaved it as close down as I could. I then put the back of her head into a pan of boiling water until it got soft and I cut through using an x acto knife. I cut a bigger hole in the back of her head than Howlrunner did so I hope that doesn't cause me any problems in the future. After I cut the back of her head out, I took the cut out piece (the hair was still attached on the inside and sticking out like stubbles on the out side) and burned the hair to the point where it sort of melted together and started pulling it out piece by piece. I was able to get a class mate to lend me his airbrush in art class to paint her. I used what the art teacher had for airbrush paints and found that I liked the color of Dr. Ph. Martin's spectralite liquid acrylic 14k flesh 2 but the teacher didn't have enough for me to finish painting the doll. Its a good thing I did a test run on the cut out piece of her head because just the paint alone did not want to work properly. It gathered to look like the wetness on the outside of a condensating drink. My teacher suggested putting some clear spray coat over it first to give it a different texture and so I tested it on the cut out part of the head and it worked. So I sprayed the whole doll with what ever the clear spray stuff was and then went over her with the airbrush paint that ended up running out because the teacher didn't have enough. So I went online and purchased a 1 FL OZ bottle of the same brand and same color of paint and it wasn't working with the airbrush. We could get water to spray though the airbrush but not the paint so we came to the conclusion that I needed paint thinner. The teacher didn't have any and neither did I nor the kid who I was borrowing the airbrush from so I have put her aside for a while and now I'm ready to start working on her again. Before I continue I need to finish her skin coat. It is almost done but it has a few imperfections like parts that chipped off or smears in the paint from god knows what. Once I finish her skin and its to my likings I will want to start on my make up. Since I have never done a project like this before, I have no clue how I will even start on the make up! I know exactly how I want it to look but I don't know if I will be capable of pulling it off myself. I forgot to mention that I also cut out her eyes. I wish I had some sort of grinding/filling tool to make the holes in her eyes more smooth. As of now they are uneven and bumpy. I already purchased glass eyes for her. I got them from Amazing Realistic Reborn Dolls supplies. They are 24mm Green glass eyes. And like mentioned before, since I have never done anything like this, I don't know how to even go about putting the eyes in. I also want to use fake eyelashes for her. After I have all that done I wont know how to put her head back on and what would I do if I got her head back on and one of her eyes falls into her head! I am also having a hard time finding a wig that I want to use. For one, its got to be small enough to fit her doll-like head. Is it possible to tailor a wig to fit?!? And I am basing her whole look off of The Bride of Chucky (not The Seed of Chucky) So i want a shoulder length blonde wig with dark roots that has a bit of volume and a slight curl to it. And although I would love to spend a bunch of money to make her look as real as possible, I just cant afford any of the really nice wigs but I don't want a really ghetto wig either. I have found one wig that I have liked the best out of the millions of wigs that I have looked at Large Fit Long Choppy Layers Nirvana Tarah Wig U Choose Colour | eBay
If any one would please chime in with opinions and/or tips I would love it so much because I am lost on how I am going to make this dream of mine a reality. Any ideas on how I can better her skin, do her make up, where to buy things etc let me know!!
