Working on Poe, custom #10

So my first (practice!) commission doll arrived a few days ago, Poe the SBL pow wow poncho from @blytheknits of IG.  Very exciting and a little intimidating, as I have never worked on another persons doll before, and I was terrified of breaking something!  But she came safe in the mail, and I got her apart with ease (due to being preopened by @blytheknits, thanks!), and I got to dive right in!

@blytheknits and I had agreed upon a nice general idea for her final look, but she gave me a lot of "artistic freedom" which was nice, I was able to try and come up with a nice design myself and focus on refining skills in customization areas I want more experience with.  

It was neat to work on something other than the FBLs and recent releases I have been used to, the SBL def had a softer feeling plastic to carve, and a much different "look" all around, I feel she is a much more mature looking doll than cherub faced FBLs.

I'm still tweaking the chalk pastels here and there but I feel she's coming along nicely!
