This doll started out as 16-inch Mrs. Coulter doll from the Golden Compass Series produced by Tonner & Co.

Factory facial paint was rather dismal. So I completely removed original factory paint and started with a blank canvas to accurately replicate Nicole's features. Doll was also given complete hair style make over copying one of her many hair styles from a couple of years back.

Repaint is a new form of pop art, wherein the doll's face is treated like a three dimensional canvas, with the added challenge of painting within a very small area . Since dolls are basically miniature pieces, brush strokes and shading have to be very controlled and precise while paying careful attention to proper scale.

Here's yet another celebrity repaint I did in late 2007. My inspiration was Madonna a she appeared at the 1991 Academy Awards where she performed the soundtrack to her then movie, "Dick Tracy".

I used a 16-inch Tonner doll called Shimmering Queen with a face mold called Shauna/Sweetheart. I thought the doll bore a resemblance to Madonna's features, so I decided to go for it.

Factory facial paint was completely removed and the doll fully repainted in the likeness of Madonna. Doll's hair style was also transformed to replicate Madonna's during said Academy Awards.

This doll used to be a 16-inch Wonder Woman doll produced by Tonenr and Co.

I've always thought that Lynda Carter was the perfect Wonder Woman and have been an avid follower of her 1970s TV series. So this is my tribute to her.

Custom makeover includes full facial repaint as well as authentic hairstyling.

I have previously created doll repaints of Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner. However, I have always created them at very separate times and have never been physically together as a group. This time, I've decided to create a group of four of the main characters from the movie. Also, the Jack, Will and Elizabeth dolls here are somewhat different from the ones I've created in the past with regards to facial expression hair styling and overall detail. This is the first time I recreate Tia Dalma's likeness in a doll.

As with all my creations, I completely strip the original factory paint on each of the dolls, and completely repaint the facial features in, paying attention to accuracy of likeness and lifelike expressions. They each underwent extensive hair styling as well. The Jack doll features a hand painted tattoo as well as hand crafted authentic hair ornaments. The design on his bandana was also handpainted. Tia Dalma and Jack were both given authentic dreadlocks. It took several weeks to complete this group due to the amount of work involved.

In celebration of the upcoming Halloween season, I am very excited to present my latest custom face up - Rick Genest aka Zombie Boy.

At 3 years old, I first heard the tale of the Little Red Riding Hood. At 6 years old, I made my first jointed doll. At 10 years old, I promised myself that one day I’d make a beautiful Little Red Hood doll. At 30 years old, I finally made it. It took me 27 years to go full circle. I feel like I’ve touched the origin of my being.

This year Tonner company produced yet another Bella Swan doll, but this time she features a brand new sculpt. The manufacturer may have felt that the first sculpt didn't quite capture the features of Bella.

This particular repaint uses that brand new sculpt.

Full facial repaint and shading as well as extensive hair style make over to replicate the features of Kristen Stewart as Bella, particularly as she look during the birthday scene.

The inset photo on the bottom portion shows the mass produced version of the Bella as it was originally released.

Inspired by his huge celebrity and the enormous success of the Twilight , this custom creation replicates hot young star Robert Pattinson in doll form.

I have previously created a doll based on his character of Edward Cullen, but I thought it would be exciting to create a custom repaint of Pattinson just as himself and not as Edward.

I used a 17-inch mass produced Edward Cullen doll by Robert Tonner Doll company. As is usually the case with mass produced dolls depicting celebrities, the sculpt is spot on but the doll suffers in the facial paint department, which is as crucial a process in capturing likeness.

So, the first order of business was to completely remove factory facial painting. I then hand painted it to bring the likeness of Robert Pattinson referencing several photos of the star.

The hair underwent extensive and meticulous restyling to replicate Rob's oft disheveled style. Last, I hand painted delicate lines of hair along the hairline to soften the overall look. Sideburns were more accurately hand repainted as well.

The inset photo on the lower right hand corner shows the mass produced version of the Edward Cullen doll as it was originally released.

These Tonner doll sculpts are not the easiest in terms of bringing out the essence of the characters/actors portrayed. But as an artist, I believe in challenging oneself in order to grow.

The dolls used are 15 1/2 inch and 17 1/2 inch Bella and Edward dolls by Robert Tonner. Full facial repaint and shading as well as extensive hair style make over to replicate the features of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, particularly as seen in the Twilight sequel, Eclipse. I wanted to specifically capture the angst filled expression of Edward from the poster.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!

In remembrance of my dearest departed mom's birthday (she would have been 83 today).

The canvas I used for this repaint of my mom is Ashton Drake's Gene doll (shown on bottom right) because of its subtle yet versatile mold. The doll's original factory paint was completely removed and then precision repainted to replicate my mom's features. Meticulous and careful hair styling completed the doll's look.

The inset photo of her on the bottom right was used as reference.

This celebrity doll repaint was inspired by Vivien Leigh's much acclaimed portrayal as Scarlett O'hara from the now timeless classic, "Gone With The Wind", particularly as she looked in her famous portrait in the film wearing a magnificent blue dress.

I used a 16-inch Scarlett O'hara doll here produced by Robert Tonner Doll company. I completely removed factory facial painting and hand painted it to more faithfully replicate Vivien Leigh as Scarlett from that particular scene I had to pay careful attention to have the doll's expression reflect the same expression as Scarlett from the portrait.

The doll's hair has been completely restyled.

DEVIATION NOTES:

This doll, at 22-inches, is much larger than dolls I usually work with, so it's a bit of a challenge to tackle a different scale, not only painting-wise but the logistics of it. Anyhow, the sculpt is really quite beautiful but needed the proper paint treatment to bring Monroe to life.

Full facial repaint as reworking of hair and hair line were all essential to this transformation.

Beyonce's recent smashing performance in Super Bowl has greatly inspired this custom doll repaint. I think that Mattel does wonderfully celebrity sculpts but just needed more precision paint apps.

I finally got pictures of my life size Zelda! she is 170cm tall (5'6''), the upper body is built in 160/g-paper, the skirt in 200/g-paper. she took 226h to build and I gave her away for free to a woman I didn't know before this build.

if you have any questions, just ask! I'm so proud over her!

the template can be downloaded from the talented template master PaperJuke
here are the links for download!

Truly inspired work .
Hats off to him .

So, after a looong pause, a wild picture appears! From last summer nonetheless, since I haven't been photographing in a long while now. I mostly blame it on the dark winter and whatnot up here on this side of the hemisphere.
Anyway, my tiger elf Korgan just wanted to come show off his claws from the first time I painted them. Needs re-doing since the paint is chipped by now and I did it hastily in the first place = bad.
But I still love him.

(I was going to make a proper fez, but I just couldn't be bothered.
and anyway, the one that is on him at the moment looks cool )

He is 17.5cm tall (not counting the fez), 11cm from hand to hand and his Sonic Screwdriver is about 3cm long

He is make from
• Acrylic Felt.
• Cotton/thread.
• Black plastic plush eyes.
• Bamboo skewer (for the Sonic Screwdriver).
• Uhu Glue.


These are a few of the reference photos that I used while making him ► [link] • [link] • [link] ◄

I do NOT own anything to do with Matt smith or Doctor Who.

I repainted, wigged, restyled and costumed this doll to be the "Ultimate" outrageous Jem doll! Pink Dress by Windy City Designs, all else by me. This doll is up on eBay right now and ends on 2/12/2012

This is Ester.

She is made from highest quality, super soft minky in a gorgeous ruby red and jet black. She has printed cotton fabric inside her ears, down her face and on her tail, depicting a skulls, chains and red roses. Her eyes are black safety eyes, rimmed with white felt and blinged up with a couple of cute little rhinestones. She's dressed up with a black and white spotted ruffle around her neck complete with a lace edge. She also has two cute little buttons down her tummy and white bow sewn above her tail.

Esteri is stuffed with polyfiber and has a handful of polypellets in her bottom to help her sit. She is approximately six inches tall to the top of her head.

While I was staying over at Panda's this week, I made this little dear out of the random bits and bobs of crafty stuff I took with me for inspiration. (I realised once I'd gotten there that I should have taken material for the commissions I owe! I could have had them finished by now!) But alas. Here's something to show for my lack of activity at least.


This is Lorelei. Siren of the sea.

She is made from highest quality, super soft minky in sky blue and ivory white. She has printed cotton fabric inside her ears and on her tail, depicting a nautical theme of anchors and stars. Her eyes are black safety eyes, rimmed with white felt and blinged up with a couple of cute little rhinestones. She's dressed up with a nautical bow on her head that is topped with a red rose, and a nautical ribbon around her neck decorated with a cute pearlescent button and an anchor charm. She also has two cute little mismatched buttons sewn onto her butt.
