Hi, I'm Peachy! I'm mostly known for my art dolls, but I also do some digital art, traditional art, character designs, plush making, and general sculpting.
♡ For art doll and photo holder bust trades, I'm interested in custom plushies, digital art commissions ($150+ value for photo holder, $400+ value for art doll), and designs by Honeybeest, TakimiNada, eellie, or other popular designers.
♡ For digital art trades, please send me a msg on twitter to discuss a trade.
♡ I'm picky when it comes to art trades, so please don't feel bad if I turn you down!
Q: When will your commissions open?
A: They are closed indefinitely now. I have a full-time job separate from art and I'd like to spend time improving my craft more.
Q: How much is a typical art doll commission?
A: The base price for an art doll is $500. The price of a more complex art doll will be higher.
Q: What supplies do you use for art dolls?
A: Super Sculpey (firm), faux fur, upholstery thread, wire, plastic doll armature, acrylic paint, hot glue, matte glaze, glossy glaze.
Q: Can you make an art doll tutorial?
A: No, there are already lots of art doll tutorials online. I learned to make them by searching for dragon art doll tutorials on YouTube.
Q: How do you make your art doll eyes?
A: Search "clear glass cabochons" on Etsy. My dolls use 20mm cabochons. I digitally draw the eyes and print them out in a few different sizes so I can cut out a pair that fits perfectly. The clay contains oil that will discolor the paper, so I use a little bit of hockey tape to protect the paper from the clay and attach it to the cabochon.
Q: Do you have sculpting tips/advice?
A: Start small and easy. Draw a front and side reference for what you want to make before you touch any clay (unless your thing is very simple). Have an absolute truckload of references. When I make a facial structure and I'm not sure how something should be shaped (like a brow), I feel my own facial structure and bones to help me visualize it.
Condition/knead your clay well before sculpting to prevent cracks that appear after baking. For anything you don't want to be very heavy (doll head, limbs, etc), crumple up aluminum foil onto a base shape and add clay to it. For thin fragile parts (horns), use a piece of wire as the base.
Set your oven to the correct temperature according to the manufacturer's packaging and don't try to just trust that you'll remember it and accidentally set the temperature 100 degrees hotter than it's supposed to be and fill your house with polymer clay fumes and ruin your sculpts lol
Paint in thin layers to keep brush strokes and excess paint from showing. Use a wet palette and dilute your paint with water if necessary. Painting is my weakest skill, so I need to work on this, too!
Vary matte glaze and glossy glaze to make your sculpt look more dynamic. (Matte on fur/skin, shiny on nose/claws, etc.)
Hi, I'm Peachy! I'm a Japanese American artist from the SoCal area :3 I have a full-time job separate from art, so I don't have a lot of time to draw and sculpt. I'm planning on going to a few furry cons, so keep an eye out for a big Peachy walking around~ ^^
I love cats, dinosaurs, dragons, plushies, fursuits, acrylic charms, claw machines, j fashion, DisneySea, and Duffy & friends. My favorite friend of Duffy is Linabell <3
