Faceup commission slots currently open! 5/19 update - I've decided to discontinue regular spraying (testor's) as a service; all faceups will now include MSC UV-cut coating by default and as such the price structure has changed (not by a terrible amount, I promise). I may keep two separate stocks of uv-cut and non-uv-cut for people who wish for a discount (it'd probably be a discount of $5, as I had with the testor's previously, but I need feedback to decide whether to do this or not. People who've contacted me about faceups prior to this update, your totals are again based on the older price, as agreed upon. I hope to continue to work on many different heads, learn new skills and offer them to those of you who enjoy my style ^^ Services/Prices: Faceup base price (SD, MSD, Tiny sized resin Ball-Joint Doll), head only, including MSC UV-cut coating - $45 Paintover faceup/touchup (without erasing previous faceup) - $25 (*Please note: I cannot erase only portions of faceups, I'll either cover it without erasing or wipe the whole thing) Eyelashes (provided by me) - $6 Eyelashes (send your own) - $1 Removal of previous faceup - $4 Face tattoo painting/jewel application - $5+ (increases based on complexity) Blushing/manicure/coating of hands/feet, including MSC UV-cut (all sizes) - $20 per pair Nail color only on hands/feet, not coated - $5 per pair Hand tattoo painting/jewel application - $3+ (increases based on complexity) Discounts for multiple heads/hand sets/services considerable, decided on by myself (no applicants for discounts please) To Apply: send an email to Akiko (valraven at hotmail dot com). I can also be messaged on the Den of Angels boards as Tsuminaki, though email is preferred. Please include your name, type/name of doll, the services you want and any personal preferences you have for them. I will get back to you with availability and price quote, and we can discuss details and mailing. Examples (Click for closeups): (These are just a few examples; please check the gallery for more faceup work.) More examples available in the faceup gallery! Faceup info - Please read before applying! - I like to finish faceups quickly once I start on them, and will look for free hours to do them entirely in few sittings, if I can. Thus my faceups have a fast turnaround - roughly 1 week from receiving the head to finishing. Within about 2 weeks you should receive your head back (barring slow shipping). Factors that will affect this turnaround include stopping to photograph steps for updates, late payment and the like. I will send pics when I can if I have a question or problem or if otherwise necessary! It just may take time to coordinate amd this must be kept in mind. - You choose your method of shipping and packaging when you send the head. I will use the same method or closest to it, and the same box if possible, to send the head back. The cost of shipping is to be added on to your initial quote, and can be as inexpensive as you feel comfortable with. If you are ordering only a head from a store, you may have it shipped to me instead of your home to save time and money. You may still choose the method I use to send it to you, if it is different from that which the store uses. - I only accept Paypal and domestic money orders; preferably Paypal. I will not begin work before I receive payment. If you change your mind after your head has already been sent to me but before I begin work, I require the full shipping cost to return it, as well as a $5 fee for my time and transportation to the post office. - ** All faceups are coated fore and aft, and between stages, with Mr. Super Clear (UV-cut flat), and will not be completed unless coating is in stock (I try to keep a good surplus). Non-UV-cut, for a discount, may be an option later. - Faces are Painted/blushed with high quality acrylics, watercolors, watercolor pencil, pastels, shimmer powders and glosses, and work is always done in a smoke-free environment. I will pack heads securely for the trip back (but do not include face protectors, please include these if you want them used). - Any information you can give me as to what you want is greatly appreciated, including directions, color suggestions, moods, themes and pictures. Be as specific as you like. I will not copy a drawing (for a faceup or a tattoo) verbatim unless you drew it yourself or have written permission from the artist (or it's free-use stock). Nor will I duplicate an existing faceup photo from a company or another artist, but I can go for similar moods/palettes/etc. - If you request them and do not send your own, eyelashes (purchased myself from various sources) will be chosen from my collection according to what best compliments a faceup. If you want a specific kind, just ask and I'll let you know what I have. - If would prefer it (but it is not required) if you include eyes and a wig with your head, for portfolio shots after completion and so I can try to work with their colors. - Please refer to the faq for other questions you may have about faceups, or email me if the answer is not there.
