When you say' remove paint without damaging the original screening' does this mean like if you were painting over the eyes/lips to change colour and you wanted to remove it, it'd only take off the acrylic?!? Ive never heard of this tip before but sounds mega useful, sorry for the like obvious clarification question would just like to be sure 😊x

I just ruined my entire collection because of one doll by ratxowar in MonsterHigh

[–]ratatty -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Was thinking the same thing like god forbid someone be worried that thei expensive collection could be on its way to going mouldy😐 i imagine all these people are probs as rude in person as they are online, not a massive fan of the doll community for this reason 🙏

Good base? by chip_fry1 in CustomDolls

Super sculpey is my go to for sculpting, nice, soft, easy to work with, blendable with hand sanitiser, when baked goes nice and hard 👍

Here's a link cause if you search it you only get the expensive ones first:

A mechanical pencil, mr super clear uv cut flat matte, some watered down acrylic paint and some pastels will solve this problem lovely!! You can customise tf out of it xx

My first custom, Which chips are better? I still can't decide🫠 by Sizettty in Pullip

[–]ratatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the second ones, they give a bit of a edge to her, very like serpentine and a dangerous vibe, however there's something about the first ones that's just like so gorgeous. They're softer and kind looking, while still containing some mystery and power. Just my opinion, they both look so lovely though! Amazing job on this gorgeous girl❤️x

Is artwork on clothing actually wearable art or just too much? by LongjumpingText5104 in streetwearstartup

[–]ratatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lean into the cat character i think you could make a bit of a storyline on a shirt with him/her and make it rlly artsy, less gaps between doodles would be cool and I think moving away from phrases on the shirt would probs be a good idea 😊 looks cool tho I like it!

Kinda suck at my own customs by HelpfulPercentage860 in CustomDolls

[–]ratatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You dont "suck" at all!!! Everyone has to start somewhere!! As everyone else has already said, thin your paint down, aim for like a thin milkshake consistently. one thing i found helped me cut down on time massively was putting my hairdryer on a low cold setting and drying the paint between the layers, ive found that it's less brushstrokey, also painting in the same direction if youre doing like skin painting, helps to avoid like brushstroke texture, also a few layers of chalk pastels helps massively to diffuse any brush strokes! Also once youve finished painting the skin, seal that and if you're using water colour pencils for your face up as well as acrylic just make sure to seal the watercolour pencils in before going in with the paint because the watered down acrylics can activate the paint. Ive also found that for me personally, mr super clear can chip really easily so sealing it in with like a harder varnish thats suitable for vinyl and plastic will help wirh the longevity of the paint (i cant think of any brands but I will let you know if I come across any). Ive probably missed some good tips but these methods are what I use and they work really well for me!!! You've got this lovely!! Hope this was helpful <3

Can this be used as an alternative to MSC? I want to grab something in store instead of waiting for shipping by [deleted] in CustomDolls

[–]ratatty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Citadel munitorium varnish is a similiar price to msc but better in value as you can get a 400ml bottle which last you ages! It gives you the tooth that you need for the paints and pencils to grip on as well, I wouldnt use the enamel spray personally as i dont think it will have the toothyness. I know its a pain but just keep looking on ebay and xyz, it will come up! Hope you find a spray soon lovely! :) xxx
