>>5981446>I have an affinity in the creative side but I am also a collector as I have some urge to keep the original style than change it.>FYI it takes to much time, effort, resources and practise to just change the faceup; with the chance of fucking up the faceup and also some shitty artist you paid for fucking it even worse.You see, I'm the opposite.
I'm into it because of the whole creative part and the fact it costs me time, money and resources to get that thing just right doesn't bother me.
I totally get though why some other doll collectors don't like this.
However, it's not really needed if you just aim to have a nice looking doll anyway.
Most people who customize have a very specific picture in mind that can't just be bought (like I have) and thus send the doll out or learn how to do it on their own. Or they really like the art part.
Okay, and some are cheap fucks/think they absolutely need to do everything on their own, but that's a different story.
The usual DD collector is not the creative type or wants something 'unique', they just want a pretty doll or a big version of their favourite anime character.
Blythe are often the same, but they tend to buy pricy finished customs by certain artists instead.
If you just want a pretty doll going for default face-up/nice custom is fine.
I sometimes wish I was like that, makes buying easier and you can just buy dolls 'because pretty'.
