What paints do you use for your custom lps

I actually just use plain old acrylics! if you want to get into specifics use Blick acrylics and Liquitex basics acrylics. I Recommend getting all the base primary colors (red, warm and cool toned blues, yellow, black, white, and a brown like burnt sienna.) as well as some cyan and magenta paints. Specifically for those two I use the shades bright aqua green and quinacridone magenta from Liquitex and they have been very vibrant in my experience. From there you can pretty much mix any color with those. It's also really important to water down your paints just the right amount and do them in layers. It can be tricky to get the right consistency but you get a feel for it as you go.

free her

finding out they were in screens bugged me at first but it was a great time to be with friends so i do not regret it, and seeing the light show and hearing the live band with these songs was REALLY cool. my camera is crap but the models and animations are much better in person and exceeded my low expectations. screenku…

my favorite part was luka’s solo performance <3 i don’t even really have any attachment to luka but it was a very nice song and i loved all the pink

afterwards we went to ihop from like 11pm—12am and i shared the shadow chaos choccy pancakes with one of my friends. true friendship <3

My friend made me aware that there is a single Triceraton woman in the entirety of the tmnt animated compendium, She's in a straight-to-tv movie for like maybe 15 minutes, and it seems like there isn't a whole lot of fanart of her so,,, I had to remedy that.

In other news I've been plagued by the "becomes a fan of an incredibly niche character" disease so please wish me a speedy recovery lmao.

Forgotten summer, glittering green seas. A lost and lonely fish in a calm pool, Rest under the palm trees and sink into the breeze. [please do not repost/steal my pics!]

Guess who found the old VCR/CRTTV and got them up and running!!!!

I'm so happy bc the CRT that had a built in VCR I grew up with got thrown out. :( But now I can watch my tapes again finally!!! I'm pretty sure this tv was my sister's, and the VCR was just in storage. Wish me luck in that they keep working lol.

Do you have an Etsy or anything? Its okay if not I just love your work ^w^

Hey! I currently don't have an Esty but I do have an INPRNT account (I'll link it here if anyone wants to take a look) and am planning on opening an eBay or something to sell my LPS customs in the future! Also I don't have all my pieces uploaded on there but if you see a piece you'd like a print of and it isnt in my shop lmk and I'll upload it since it's a made to order print service. Thank you for enjoying my art <3

Your LPS customs are soooo amazing!! Like genuinely so inspiring 😭 I wanna get into it but I have no idea how!!

Thank you so much!!! that really means a lot! And I'm really honored to hear I've been inspiring people with my work<3 I can provide some tips on starting the hobby if that helps! this'll be based on my own experience though of course! I can firstly say that getting into LPS customizing was pretty simple for me, because I already had most of the supplies I use for other projects, and it was only a matter of getting the bases themselves to paint on. Of course I have the LPS I grew up with but I didn't want to ruin those lol. I use those blank bootleg LPS bases they sell on amazon. You can also use authentic LPS but I'd recommend making sure you're not painting over a rare one like a big 5 or Savannah Reed first lol. A good starting point is to draft out the design you want on paper/digitally to see what kind of custom you want to make. for me I use digital templates and paint over them in my art program. Templesta on DeviantArt has some really good ones! For paint I use acrylic. Get a teeny tiny paintbrush for detail work along with a couple other sizes as well and those should be all the basic supplies you need to start! You can also get more complex with it and use chalk pastels, water color pencils and glitters too. Get creative! see what supplies you can use to take your customs to the next level. As a tip, make sure to water down your paint and do multiple thin layers. Patience is key because that paint is not gonna want to stick to the base at first. A lot of the actual painting process does come down to practice and a steady hand.

If you want to seal your customs which isn't necessary but gives them a nice finish, I recommend Liquitex high gloss varnish to seal the eyes. There are some good matte varnish sprays out there but I recommend doing your own research on those, as they can be resin based and therefore need a bit of caution and prep to handle. I personally use Mister Super Clear matte spray to seal the base of the custom, and I always spray outside with gloves and a respirator.

And though I have done sculpting I don't consider myself well versed enough to recommend supplies for clay but I've heard Green Stuff and Apoxie sculpt are good clays to use, but be sure to do your own research on those as well.

The monster high doll customization community is a good place to look for material research! A lot of the process of the face-up is pretty similar to painting LPS. That's actually what got me into customizing in the first place; I just watched a bunch of Dollightful, Enchanterium, and Moonlight Jewel's videos and said to myself "Wait a minute, I could do this with LPS!" I also of course recommend watching other LPS customizer's videos to see the process of how they make their customs, and show them some support as well! Pumpkinscustoms Is a really big inspiration for me and HelloStudios, Mr. Crazy Ray and LPSCobalt have really good videos on making customs.

And once again, if you don't wanna dive right in you can just draw them, whether using a template or not to see if you like the process and the design! You can even make a bunch of designs digitally and once you feel ready to tackle a real custom, start there! ahaha I didn't know I'd be writing a whole-ass Essay but I hope all this helps!! Thank you for enjoying my work!
