i've been doing a lot of makeovers lately really just cheap diys from the dollar store or thrift
store most of the time the employees are starting to recognize me at the dollar store sometimes they
even try to start a conversation so today i've decided to just stay home away from everyone i
didn't feel like going anywhere or seeing anybody so instead i just ordered some stuff online from
sheehan which is basically this website where you can buy super cheap clothes mostly clothes trendy
clothes i'm not painting on clothes today though sheen does have some other random cheap junk
some of which i picked out to customize or paint on in some way because that's what i do
i take junk and turn it into other junk that i paint on the first thing i picked out is
this guy sitting on a stool i picked him up because i liked the way he looked he looks very
uh i don't know geometric i like that i also like that he's wooden makes it easier to paint
on you can redirect his face to look away but other than that he's not very posable
this is cool it's one of these things i didn't even know that he's like
falling off his stool there's a button on the bottom and you just kind of press it and he
falls apart all it takes is one little push to make him snap
i started off by gessoing the little guy to prime the surface he's really tiny but he also
has a million little tiny crevices just trying to cover up as much as i can i'm kinda going
for a circus theme with this makeover sorta i'm planning on turning this guy into a mime if you
don't know what a mime is it's one of these guys they don't talk they just kind of use their hands
and body to pretend they're doing things that they're not actually doing i don't want him to
just be black and white i like adding a bit of color so i'm painting the hat a dark navy blue
although to be honest it pretty much just looks like black on camera i thought pink would help
brighten things up so i'm adding pops of pink to the mime starting off with a pink ribbon around
his top hat and some pink poofy sleeves i think that's a nice touch he doesn't have hands at least
not entirely they're just little balls but he still wears black gloves to go with the whole mime
aesthetic he's also sporting some navy blue booty shorts an interesting choice in attire to say the
least it's not your traditional striped black and white mime outfit with like the beret and stuff
i wanted to add some individuality to this mime he's breaking boundaries one
booty short at a time so his booty shorts are not just booty shorts they're kind of
like overall booty shorts layered on top of a nice button-down shirt keeping it classy always
business on top party on the bottom that's the mime way of life
i didn't want his legs to blend in too much with his shorts so i added some color to him he has
like this little stand that he's sitting on top of i thought about just painting it a solid black
color and whatnot but ultimately i decided to go for a more circusy vibe like i said this video
was supposed to be loosely circus themed so i felt like that little touch on the stand made it a bit
more obvious that this mime works at a circus my mime is missing his hands so he really tries to
make up for that with his face he's looking a little scary slightly creepy that's where the
creepy part of creepy cute comes in he wears a bit of makeup it might look like his makeup smudged a
bit which is okay it did he's been crying a lot he's sad a sad sad mime he doesn't want to talk
about it the next thing i picked up was this pink rubber duck he comes with some accessories
a giant gold chain around his neck a hardcore motorcycle helmet with a little helicopter thing
on top and wouldn't want his eyes to betray any sign of innocence so he's also adorned with some
sunglasses he's an edgy pink helicopter duck wow on the back of his sunglasses there's a little
sticky thing so that it could just stick onto his face it's not quite doing its job though he's
already reached peak evil not much left to improve on but i'm going to try i love his accessories i'm
setting them aside but i'm definitely going to keep them with the other doll accessories and
things i've collected over time alright now he's looking pretty bare i'm starting off with wiping
his face off with some acetone i'm leaving his duck beak untouched that can stay i'm not
completely transforming him he's still going to be a duck but he's going to have a different vibe
to him keeping with the whole circus theme i've decided to turn this duck into a clown clowns
are pretty scary so i figured that's the one thing that can make this duck a tad bit more evil than
his motorcycle wearing gold chain rocking days i'm sticking to pretty much the same color scheme as
the mime i wanted them to go together they're in the same sad family part of the same sad
sad circus i went in with acetone on a q-tip to do some cleaning up i do want the pink on the duck to
still kind of shine through i'm not trying to completely erase his identity just trying to
enhance his features clowns have this little neck thing i don't know a little collar thing that's
what this pink mess is supposed to be i added some pom-poms to it felt cute at the time in fact
i liked him so much i added some giant pom-poms to his outfit obviously at this point i'm really
feeling the pom-pom vibe there's a giant hole under my clown duck i think it might be so you
can squeeze it or perhaps it helps rubber ducks float in the water somehow not entirely sure about
the function but yeah we can all move on needless to say he won't be going for any more swim lessons
he's more meant for decor now he's a land duck a sitting duck okay the duck looks like a clown
right kind of except i felt there was still a key component missing crazy poofy hair that's
what this needs so of course i sculpted some out of epoxy a lot of clowns have this hairstyle where
there's like these two crazy curly poofs on either side of their head and the center is just bald
that's part of what makes clowns so creepy i'm sorry if that's offensive to any clowns out there
i don't have any problems with you or your hair choices in fact i like your haircut maybe i'll try
it out myself and the bald spot was just looking too bald so i added a little party hat there there
hats fix everything no one will ever know and then i added the signature big red clown nose i'm also
going in with red for the hair he's a redhead clowns are usually redheads or have rainbow hair
for the dark side we're going with a redhead clown i kept the party hat pretty simple i feel like he
already has a lot going on now i'm focusing on his face he's got a big smile but don't let that fool
you he's actually very very sad just like the mime kind of a theme here life's a sad circus
the clown's out there putting on a show trying to make people laugh but on the inside we all
know he's suffering i absolutely love how this clown duck turned out honestly wanna makes me
make over even more rubber ducks honestly makes me wanna honestly makes me there's too many m's
honestly makes me wanna make over even more rubber ducks so if you liked this duck then
make sure you let me know by subscribing just kidding just kidding you can if you want to do it
the last thing i ordered was this cursed thing it's a hand a little stiff but i bet you could
put some wd40 in it to make it less stiff it's very posable so that's nice even the wrist moves
i'm painting it green since i'm planning on making it the tutu witch's hand i am going for a circus
theme with today's makeover so what exactly does the tutu witch have to do with the circus
absolutely nothing but she showed up anyway to curse everyone with her farts
i went in with a tiny detail brush to get in between the fingers now this looks very
underwhelming it's just all green to make it more evident that it's the tutu-witch's
hand i added some more defining features to start off with i added like warts or boils
out of epoxy i also added a few touches of fur because the tutu witch has an abundance of hair
she's very hairy she seems like the kind of person who would have hairy knuckles i
went with white fur because her wig is white just wanted everything to match and since the
tutu witch is the fairy godmother of the dark side i thought she should be holding her wand
for that i just took a little wood skewer and painted it black i'm letting that dry for a bit
and then i'll come back to it so back to her hand warts i painted them a very pale green i dabbed
some color onto the hand to add some texture and to make the hand look older the hand was
looking too clean so i felt it needed something i don't know if it did much of anything though so i
also went in with a pukey yellow green i guess i thought pukey yellow green was the way to go so i
added that same color to her warts as well at some point i realized that's a blindingly ugly color
so i went back over it to tone everything down a notch the tutu witch wanted a manicure so i picked
up some fake nails from the dollar store honestly a lot more than i need they're the tutu witch's
nails she's never heard of grooming so i wanted her nails to be kind of wonky looking and chipped
and stuff i hot glued them on one by one things are already looking a lot better but she still
needs some nail polish of course why not i don't have any nail polish on hand so i'm just painting
the tutu witch's nails with black acrylic paint the knuckle hairs are a little overgrown so i've
trimmed them down to something more manageable and i topped everything off with a star i love how the
tutu witch's hands turned out this one's by far my favorite i think it captures her vibe pretty well
old disgusting and hairy what's not to love i love you too sweetie i'm off to join the sad circus
