Announcing 2013 Buzzard Babies!

So have been wanting to make a vampire baby for some time now. A really long time ago I sold a swamp baby under the Logo Buzzard Babies. It was a green baby and the origin of it is a LONG story. Anyways, I have decided to revive the logo and try my hand at a vamp. I am so excited how his coloring turned out. I have to  sculpt his fangs but I couldn't wait to show you my progress. His painted hair is black but for some reason the flash is making it look brown.  This photo was taken this weekend. 

Then today I had my first go at sculpting fangs!   They are not perfect but I think for my first try I did okay.  I have some black lashes coming in later this week. I have to sew him a body.  This little outfit came today.  It is a sleeper made with little bat wings under the arms so it is like a bat baby kinda.  It was a Halloween sleeper I found on Ebay.  Here is just a really quick photo taken right after I glossed his mouth and fangs. His hair has been darkened some since the other photo was taken as well.

I finally got to do some painting and this is the micro preemie Caleb sculpt that I have been working on.  I love it!

I tried to give her nice overall mottling in purply mauve tones since preemie babies are often purple red.  However, I did not go for the over red/purple look that some of these babies are born with because I thought that would just be too much on a doll.  I am hoping you can see the mottling details in these photos.  I did use a flash but tried to keep the glare off.

Painting Tristan with Hunnybuns "Art & Magic of Reborns ©" Water Borne Colors

I have been painting on a little Jessica Schenk kit here called Tristan using the new paints, "Art & Magic of Reborns ©" Water Borne Colors, by Stephanie Sullivan.  I mixed the paints according to the ratios on the tutorial that Debbie Henshaw made to go with these paints.  I found them easy to use and true to color.  They go on easily and dry pretty quickly.   I do think air dry paint users will love these paints.

Now for your sneak peak of the baby in progess.  Little Tristan is a comical looking little preemie sized baby.  She will be a production from my Simply Baby line of reborns.  She still has some work to be done but here are some pictures taken in my home with a flash.
