Description *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!!!!

yes, she is very sad...i'm not great at making background stories so i'll let the person interpret what they see, or may think.

Really beautiful! I really love the scales on her belly! I'd like to ask a question about the hands (if you can answer) I have an abbey I want to customize as a pre existing character that has not the claws abbey has.. Did you manage to modify hers or you painted another doll hands?

You know I did forget to mention the hands. They are the original abbey hands. I just filed the nails down and added glue between the fingers for a webbed look. I hope that helps.

yeah, i think shes great as is.
but something light and airy would be nice on her i suppose. have you ever heard of silk gauze? its very thin material and quite translucent. i used it a lot when i made dolls from clay.

if you ever run into a problem with her lemme know and i will do my best to try and fix anything i can.
