Nothing much, editing an old photo, using smudge tool on his lip to get a sort of sneer.

Paying 15USD for shipping a 20USD heeled feet isn't really worth it right? Argh. But I don't have anything else I want from Supia. :( Except heads but no, I shouldn't be getting heads. They don't have much clothes either.

Argh, why? I need to buy more clothes for Tiyana.

The vintage watch hands I bought from ebay arrived today. :) Some of them are quite nice and detailed, some are a bit bent and some look a tad rusty, but hopefully I'll find enough suitable ones for making dolly jewelry :D Hee~

Benja's faceup

All glossed up. :) I need to wait for the gloss to dry for a day before sticking his piercings though. Just to be safe, since he'll have lip and nose piercings. Maybe eyebrows too. And earrings. ...I need to go cut up some jump rings. 8D

I'm almost done with Caillen Benja's faceup. Made quite a bit of mistakes but oh well, not all that noticeable I guess. Decided to make my Peroth Benja instead of Caillen cos Caillen isn't supposed to be sullen.

And because he's from Jack's universe, the one which I've not really figured out completely, here's the basic but incomplete backstory.

Benja is of a race that can "foresee" the future, except he doesn't see definite outcomes, just possibilities. His race has eyes that start off as black from a young age, which then turns brown and eventually gold when they reach their peak of their oracle abilities. Benja however doesn't know about all of this, because he was an orphan (there's a reason for that, but I'm still figuring out the details), but anyway he gets adopted by this woman (I need to think of a name for her) who also has a son, Andrew (Andy). The woman is a scientist specialising in cloning, except clones aren't legal anymore. Anyway, she forcibly had both Andy and Benja knocked out and proceeds to swap one of their eyes (their left) in hopes of giving her son the oracle abilities of Benja's race (she figures if the eyes are what changes colour when they mature, and if Benja can see his visions even with his eyes closed or blindfolded, the ability lies within the eyes). Her little experiment is successful, though Andy never told her so. At the same time, Benja gets some control over his powers, be it due to his maturity or due to the eye operation, he'll never know.

First time making a sci-fi/fantasy sort of universe and it's quite interesting, because there's a lot of rules of reality that can be ignored. :D

Oh yeah. I need to stick his piercings on.

For reading ease:
Hew is the one in blue, Sion is in grey.
Hew's words and thoughts are in italics, Sion's are the standard font.

I went out for some photos, planning to make a photostory of Hew and Sion talking in a park, which is what I always imagined them doing, when I first thought of them as characters in my head. Hew is the older brother, and for that, Sion is reliant on him, much more than Hew ever is on Sion. Hew feels a need to take care of his younger brother, and it doesn't help when Sion sometimes acts without considering Hew's feelings (not in this photostory, maybe I'll write about it next time). So yeah, Sion is a little kid who never really grew up and wants to be loved, while Hew had to grow up fast, and he appears more mature but there's something that is still lacking in him too.

Wiped Caillen's old faceup. I'm trying to decide if I should make him Benja instead...He's too grumpy looking for Caillen, but I've no idea what Benja is like, as I've no idea what Jack is like. :/
