ShnakayNow before we begin I want to clarify that this is my first custom and the final result is not what I wanted. That being said it is as simple as taking some acetone and beginning again. The experience however taught me a lot so I fully believe my next attempt will be better!!
Now for some pictures. This is a doodle of my oldest OC Miyu and this is who we are making!!
I started with a blank face template and some hair pieces from another nendo.
I stuck them up with pencil crayons and sprayed them with msc and waited 24hrs for them to cure.
Once cured I airbrushed the hair with some acrylic paint and started sketching out the face. Which was a nightmare and took many.. many attempts..
Eventually I found an eye shape I liked and went with it!!
After this I started to build up colours, spraying another layer of msc once my pencil crayons no longer gripped the surface.
Then using some soft pastels I added some blushing as well as some more depth to the eyes!
Now this is where things went downhill. I believe I was a little a lot too zealous with eyelashes and highlights and it just got out of control lol
Although I did too much I still had fun!!
I’m hoping to get some new clothes (the Alice dress was all I had) although I’m not really sure where to purchase them? Perhaps I will have to just make some lol
Well thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed me rambling about my first custom!!!!
See you again!!

Good luck with the next character you create!
I love her lips and the way you decorated her eyes makes her look very cute. You said you might consider re-doing it? I think that could be an interesting experience - see how much you improve 2nd time round. And you could use it as practice. PS - Have you ever looked into doll (face-ups and such) customization? I think that could be something you might be interested in.
I was just using cheap Walmart pencil crayons so I’m hoping to get some water colour pencils to see if that helps with line quality. It was definitely harder than I had imagined to make things smooth.
I’m also very interested in documenting a redo to see if there’s an improvement, if I do I’ll be sure to post it!
If you're interested GSC made a Nendoroid Doll clothing pattern book- I believe it's all written in Japanese, but it might be of some use if you're able to find a copy!LemonMIntCat • 8 d. temu • #90097538I think she looks great, the eyes are very pretty and unique! Also not totally sure but I have seen Nendoroid Doll clothes for sale on etsy, perhaps there is something that fits for you!
Ooh thank you! I hadn’t even thought of Etsy that’s a really good idea! As for the book I will definitely check it out! Even without understanding what’s written I’m sure I can catch on by just looking at patterns! I appreciate the advice!
Thank you! My best advice is just go for it. I was so nervous too but now that I’ve done one I definitely feel better about it. If I hate it I can wipe it off and try again. There’s really no consequences, it’s just time consuming.
