Yes, that is Dorothy (many eyes) and Luna (one eye.) Dorothy is a custom DD by Koala Krash, she calls them "seers" and releases a few per year. Luna is a custom resin head by ozawa_dango which has been modified by Oculae and slapped onto an obitsu body which was dyed to match... or the body was dyed first and then the head was sprayed with Krylon, I'm not sure. Point is she went up for sale on the secondhand market and I said "yoink!" I love weird dolls! They're so much fun.

I do like weird dolls.

Anon I really hate to break it to you but the faceups in the doll hobbies are rarely actually painted on with actual acrylic paint. An airbrush is used from time to time, but usually for coloring body parts like wings or tails. I actually own some dolls that have paint on their bodies -- they are fantasy colored and it was used to color-match different parts, pic related. It's generally way too much on the face. Even painted fingernails and other custom detail work usually isn't done with paint.

Anyone can do anything with the tools they have! If you're inexperienced, it's best to just grab whatever camera you have and experiment to figure out what you like to do, what you want to accomplish, and what, if anything, is stopping you from getting there. I minimally post-process mine, personally -- not for any moral reasons, but because I hate editing. I try to get it all 'in camera' -- others do a lot of PP, and that's alright, too. Some of my favorite doll photographers have clearly edited their photos, but it works for them, and that's the important thing. You should have fun with it, anon -- everything else will come after.

I like weird dolls, even if they have a terrible faceup. It'd be a blessing if that doll could get... something else done to her face, but she has her own weird charm like this.

I made a new friend, anons.
