>>5775596Naw, I know that Helene (the one who painted the Venitu) doesn't do that.
Her pictures are actually pretty unedited.
>>5775591>>5775585is pretty shitty though.
Messy lashes, crusty color build up in the lid.
A lot of the "realistic" face-ups are blushed/textured well (which is the whole key to realism) but the line work suffers.
I still think the whole discussion is retarded.
People have different tastes, some prefer a face-up that works on pictures, some need the perfect one for when the doll is in front of them.
Some like basic Bluefairy look, others want super realism, others like the asian "glitter with long lashes and airbrush" look.
It still takes time, skill and experience to develope a style, execute it well AND deliver a clean, good looking result.
Which was the original discussion about.
No battle between realism/doll, or default/custom...just that artists are not getting paid enough for the work they often have to put into painting a single face-up.
>>5775558Isn't it a bit silly to compare these two?
Left is pretty common look for current, asian face-ups (colorful, long lashes, glitter etc.) and not supposed to look realistic.
Right is a really old Soom face-up with a basic, bare "realistic" feeling.
For back then that was already pretty realistic.
