My 3rd version of Impldoll Gnaeus

Introducing Moss - Impldoll Idol bearded Gnaeus with a face-up by my little sister. This was her 2nd ever face-up and it's so gorgeous!!! I feel so proud to own this head now. That makes it my 3rd Gnaeus head in action: default tan Gnaeus, real skin bearded with face-up by me and now this extra special head with a face-up by my sis. Am I Gnaeus crazy or what? LOL!

This is a head that came from Impldoll half a year ago with a pretty hideous default face-up (dirty and messy), so I never used it. First in fact they sent me one without a face-up at all, even though I'd paid for it. I complained of course and got sent one with a face-up, but what a beastly one it was. Here's just a reminder of how it used to look. Ouch, it still kills me to see this beautiful sculpt messed up like that... Like what is all that brown smear?! Seriously!? On the left, the promo design for the face-up I ordered and in the middle and right is what I got from Impldoll.

So, last week I offered Mr Mudman here for my sister to practice doing face-up on and woohoo, now the guy looks like a million bucks!! I would never have come up with this kind of design for this sculpt myself, so it's really exciting for me. It's also so elegant and pure somehow. It lends itself for blond looks so well. I LOVE it!!!

He's called Moss, because at one point while I was observing my sister working on that beard and I saw her reach for a khaki green tone of the chalk with the brush, so I asked her "Hmm, so you're using green for the beard?" She was all like "What??!?". ROFL! She hadn’t noticed, it was a green! She had thought it was a brownish shade of grey. We got some hysterical giggles out of it and I’ll always remember that as a fun moment. So, we affectionately call him Moss now.

Here he is already in action, playing a historical role with Mirodoll Iris:
