The two ones I linked are the only one from the dollfiedreams forum that were still open, looked decent and had a website outside of the forum I could link to.

Honestly, just don't buy an artist head on Y! if you "just" want a nice doll.
A regular face-up artist will just ask for his fee, an auction of a known artist will in the end cost you several hundred dollars for a head because of crazy fans.
Doesn't mean you will get a nicely painted head for 10$, but it's still a big difference to pay 50-100$ for a face-up versus 550$ for a painted 30$ DD head.

As said, you can ask those too and ask them if they have an example for some work done on a vinyl doll.
