I bought Michi second hand for €50 and she came in a box filled with mould-smelling plastic and fabric bags.
Her face had not only a mysterious pink stain but also a coat of mysterious paint. Yikes.





YIKES





NO MORE





Bathed





Rinsed





Dried





The paint did not come off. Still, to this day, I don't understand what the heck why the heck wtf





Before submitting to painting, I made her a wig.























Then I submitted to painting and found out that gouache doesn't realllllyyyyy dryyyyy
the first try looked so bad and also came off.





Then I bought ACRYLIC PAINT which I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT in the first place





Lo and behold my poor person's airbrush method (makeup sponge) it DID DRY and I could continue











Hiding the worst mistakes under paint and little hearts because I am NOT doing this again. This has been a stressful faceup.





Rumour has it that months later she also got upper eyelashes





You can find the whole DoA project journal here, TL;DR, she also ended up getting clothes and a hat and the whole jazz.



Here's her profile!
