I removed my Volks Olivia's faceup because the faceup was done with Freddie in mine but I'm switching the head to be Danny instead. And as I'm searching up photos for inspiration and reference to do his faceup, it seems like most of the photos are older (before 2014 ish). The aesthetics of BJD faceups then is quite different. Some of them are even earlier, from 2009? And thin brows and a brooding look are The Thing to do. I'm filled with nostalgia and the reminder that I LOVED (Loved!) those dolls back then when I was younger and always wanted to have those cool looking dolls. But now the aesthetics of faceups are different and looking at those faceups they seem a bit more doll like and less sophisticated and detailed. And I'm both frigging excited to want to paint danny asap and also frigging scared because I don't want to do something completely like the older style of faceups since it'll not match with my other dolls but I'm scared of trying to merge the old vibe with the newer faceup style and what if it all turns out terrible?
It's so difficult to be simultaneously excited and scared of failing. I just. Ugh.
This probably makes no sense without pictures but I'm on my phone and too antsy to bother putting in pictures and just gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't know I'm just a mess???????
