MH repaint 8 Abbey mermaidby ~phairee004

Artisan Crafts / Dolls, Plushies & Custom Toys / Customized Toys

*SOLD*

so this is my 8th repaint, and i chose abbey. i felt she wanted to be a mermaid (funny how they tell you who they want to be

).
I thought a sad arctic mermaid was very fitting for the skin tone and once i chose the eye color.

everything is hand made by me, the eyes, crown, tail & the necklace/bib (or modesty top, if you wanna call it that). she is joined by her sweet buddy a LPS #555 snow seal which i used my signature eyes & flocked.

yes, her legs are modified underneath which means i did cut them off below the knee. i used air dry clay and then cut and painted the scales for realistic features.

thanks for looking and i do apologize if i do not respond to every single watch, fave or comment. i am a very busy mom of 3 & try to fit my love for repaints in all at the same time. love you guys for the support
HUGE HUGS!

p.s.
i do not answer questions that regard my style of the eyes. its my own technique i developed while as a OOAK sculptor 2 years ago and they can be seen in each sculpt since then.
thanks

I bet your customs take a very long time. From the description on how you make the tails....wowzer! Talk about patience....because all your scales look sooo real.
I also love the way you make the eyes. So realistic looking. I am going to keep watching your deviantart! It amazes me just how many talented people there are in the world! Thanks for sharing your work with us!!!!
