Thank you! She's a Doll Leaves Lan with a fem body II.

King-Rhapsody

Thanks! I'm glad I scooped it up when I did.

King-Rhapsody

Thank you! I love fantasy everything so I couldn't help myself.

King-Rhapsody

Thank you! <3 Hahaha yes, she likes her finery. She may be a necromancer, but she's a lady first. 💅

King-Rhapsody

Oh he's so pretty~! <3

King-Rhapsody

Thank you! Looking at her now she ended up more blue toned than I intended but that's ok, I have airbrush and probably other methods. I can't wait until she's done too.

King-Rhapsody

Uh I just thought I'd let you know that some of the links in the 'doll clothing' listing are either 404 or link to something inappropriate. Could just be old links that never got renewed, just a heads up.

King-Rhapsody

I looked up many tutorials like they have in the reference thread in this community. I used Ritmore synthetic dye and a cheap enamel pot off amazon. I looked at Rit dyes website to get a formula for the color wanted. I already had sticks and strings and towels so it was just a matter of giving it my best shot after that.

King-Rhapsody

Resin. Plastic would probably melt in the high temperatures needed to use the dye.

King-Rhapsody

Thanks! Same. I'll make a post when I'm done.

King-Rhapsody

Me too! I'll post it when I'm done!

King-Rhapsody

Thank you! I was nervous with such a dark color but tutorials really helped!

King-Rhapsody

Thank you! She has some imperfections but they're subtle and I hope blushing will help with that.

King-Rhapsody

Yep, just like Beecrimes said. I read a lot of tutorials first, it was super helpful. Ritmore for synthetic seemed like the best options. They even got formulas on their website for specific colors. I still had to do math to make sure it matched with the amount of water I was using. Other than that I just had to dip in small time increments to keep an eye on the color.

King-Rhapsody

Thank you! I was nervous too but once I got started there was no going back. She's a Doll Leaves Lan head with their fem. body II. I accidentally also dyed the doll leaves logo button on the back of her head but at least I have her certificate!

King-Rhapsody

Thank you!

King-Rhapsody

Shucks, thanks!

King-Rhapsody

Thank you!

King-Rhapsody

Well the character is a half drow so I really was gonna just go for it and make her a blueish smokey color. I'm risking a lot but I have my heart set on doing this! If I mess it up a little I have an airbrush. XP

King-Rhapsody

Thank you!

King-Rhapsody

Thank you! I can't wait to dye and paint her face. <3 The sculpt is so lovely.

King-Rhapsody

Thanks~ Oh I ordered her back in September. It took a long time but I was willing to wait for her. I only just got her yesterday. The outfit I think was a limited thing I decided to snatch up while I was at it so she wouldn't be completely naked for too long.

King-Rhapsody

Thank you! I will still want to try myself but I had considered it. Since the character is of my own creation, I feel like I want to make the doll look like her with my own hands.
