Feedback for Tsuminaki (Vitta-Vera)

Tsuminaki just completed a beautiful face up along with blushing hands, feet, and torso parts. This is the 3rd project that I have had the pleasure of commissions her for and as always her work is exquisite. She is a joy to work with and she is always very professional and keeps in touch through the process. She is a skilled artist and never fails to breath life into my dolls with her incredible work. She has become my goto face up coarsest and I look forward to getting to work with her again. I highly recommend her services.

 

I contacted Tsuminaki about doing a faceup after seeing her gorgeous gallery/faceup thread, and I honestly couldn't be happier!

She is an incredibly talented artist who does breath taking work! I honestly couldn't believe how beautiful my girl came out from just the photos alone and when she arrived I was even more impressed! Holy moly, I didn't know my girl could be even more beautiful than the wonderful photos I was sent.

Her communication, kindness, openness to my ideas, timely process, and overall customer service is incredible. I would whole heartedly recommend her and I hope to have another project we can work on in the future! Thank you so so so much! You made my little idea so much better than I could have imagined!

 

I contacted Tsuminaki a little while ago about a modification, faceup, and tattoo for my Minifee Soony/Juri 14. She agreed to attempt the modification for me (widening the head opening so she would fit on the neck mechanism) and added me to her waitlist. Once my turn was close, she messaged me to let me know when to ship my parts.

Akiko informed me when the package arrived and messaged me with photos throughout the process. The work was done quickly and communication was very friendly! My girl arrived home today and she looks absolutely stunning. The modification was also success and she now actually fits on her body.

Overall, I'd highly recommend Tsuminaki/Akiko/Vitta Vera! Communication was great and she packed everything carefully when my parts were sent back. Her work is absolutely gorgeous and if I need any other aesthetic services I will definitely be a returning customer.

 

Akiko just did face-ups for my Soom Topaz and Soom Serin.

I am so happy with them... the detail and colours are absolutely exquisite. Not only did she pick up totally what I was aiming for, her suggestions took their face-ups to a completely new level, particularly for Serin who has a fantasy face-up. Her additions really make the face-up "zing".

Aikiko is wonderful to work with, so friendly and helpful - she really goes out of her way to give you exactly what you want.

 

Akiko was recommended to me by a friend and she is one of the best person to work with on face up. Her care and commitment in trying to achieve your vision is just amazing and she gives you 110%. I'm thrilled that I have had the opportunity to work with her. Her work is flawless. She has worked on several heads for me, from iplehouse stella fantasy heads, to working on Angela Fairyland face up. She also painted my roke modified hand as a dragon claw and touched up my iplehouse Zera face up. Over all I'm super satisfied with her turn around, personal communication, patience to answer all my questions and her willingness to share her knowledge about what would best suit the doll. Couldn't ask for a nicer person either. Shipping is quick and I'm happy beyond words to have her work on my dolls. I would highly recommend her as a face up artist. I'm very anal about my dolls and face up and I've been completely satisfied. Will again use her service with pleasure.

 

I messaged Tsuminaki about a pair of certain delf hands i was looking for, though sadly weren't the ones i needed she did have a pair i wanted so i bought them and as always such an amazing dealing with her! Wonderful as always and the hands arrived very fast and safe!

 

I received my latest commission from Akiko yesterday, four face ups (two sets of oe/sp heads), and a mnf top.
I couldn't be happier! Akiko always manages to give me every detail I ask for with her amazing skill and style,
and I always love them more than I could have imagined.

I look forward to working with her again and again. Thank you Akiko for another amazing transaction!

 

I bought a pair of gorgeous 20mm blue eyes from Akiko. Throughout the entire process, she was very kind and patient with me. As this was my first marketplace transaction, she was very understanding and gave me clear instructions on how to proceed. Shipping was very quick. The whole transaction (from message, payment, shipment, and arrival) was all done and over with within a week! I'm so pleased with Akiko. She even left a small candy in the package with the eyes.

I wouldn't hesitate to do business with her again. Wonderful!

 

Akiko does it again.

I just received my two heads that I sent for a face up. A shoshon and an Ender. Again she blew me away with her work. Flawless and beyond my expectation. I'm super pleased with her work, commitment to your vision and her extra care in packaging them for delivery. They arrived in perfect condition. I still stand by what I wrote previously and again I've had a wonderful experience dealing with her.

A true pleasure to work with.

Thank you so much Akiko.

 

Akiko did the faceup for my Feeple60 Miyu. I cannot recommend her enough! I'm a bit of a dollie newb and she was so kind and helpful, answering all of my questions and requests. Very easy to work with and good communication. The package was well packed. And her work is absolutely stunning. I am so happy with the end results of my girl's faceup.

Would do business again. Thank you Akiko!

 

Akiko bought a Fairyland Sia's skull staff from me and the transaction went perfectly! Payment was fast, communication was quick, friendly, and I was notified when the package arrived. Would definitely do business with her again! Thanks for the purchase!

 

I'd like to put in a special thank-you to Akiko today, for all her help in giving my Rainbowglow Sylvan Hayarn from Dollmore a new lease of life.

Hayarn presented multiple challenges for Akiko - I had asked her if something could be done to ameliorate the appearance of a chip disfiguring the lower edge of her uppper torso, sadly all too obvious; and to give her a brighter face-up which would still be in the same spirit as her beautiful body-art.

Akiko is so wonderful to work with - she consulted me at every step and always gave constructive advice and creative suggestions on how to overcome the challenges that Hayarn presented us with.

Unexpectedly, when cleaned, Hayarn's head turned out to be a lot lighter than her body, and she had art on her temple and the back of her neck which were etched in, so Akiko used the outlines to produce decoration which complement Hayarn's new face-up which is more sophisticated than previously and makes her face the centre of attention while complementing rather than detracting from her body art.

A creative solution for the chip on her torso was found - the edges were smoothed and delicately painted to match her body art. The damaged portion is now artfully disguised and blends in un-noticeably.

Akiko is a joy to work with - her collaborative and generous advice has encouraged me to be more daring in my ideas about what I want, and I've really enjoyed the creative approach. I was literally thrilled with the result - Hayarn looks she's stepped out of a Fairy Tale storybook.

Thanks Akiko

 

Tsuminaki gave my grey skin Dikadoll Rena a faceup and I am thrilled with the results! She was able to mask a casting blemish so well that I cannot even tell it was there. I was not certain how I wanted my doll to look so I gave her some loose guide lines (a photo of my other girl's lashes, a few eyebrow shape examples to choose from, and a few color combos for the lips I thought might look okay) and she turned out fantastic!
She also took great care in packing my doll for return shipping. I know I will be sending more heads to her in the future.

 

Tsuminaki was kind enough to agree to face-up an ebony skinned Twigling Minigenue for me and was an true joy to work with! She had amazing patience with a skin color most artists shy away from due to difficulties of sealant as well as colors and managed to make my girl look absolutely fabulous!

Her communication was always flawless and fast and she shipped my girl out asap once she had my payment.

I can wholly recommend Tsuminaki as a wonderful artist and woud gladly commission her again

 

I commissioned 2 tattoos from Tsuminaki, and am so happy with the results! My DC boy looks stunning, and her service was a 10/10. She gave me prompt responses, answered and addressed all my questions, and was so pleasant to work with. Thank you so much, I'd love to work with you again in the future!

 

Akiko just finished 3 more faceups for me and words can't express how happy I am with them and with her. I've run out of adjectives to describe just how beautiful her work is. Even after all the commissions she's taken on to help bring my characters to life; I'm still amazed and endlessly impressed with her talent. The fact that she's a sweetheart and a joy to deal with is icing on the cake. Thank you, again, Akiko! I'm already looking forward to the next one(s).

 

Words cannot even express how pleased I am with the face ups I got from Akiko. I had two kinda tricky projects for them and WOW they exceeded above and beyond. I sent a DDH01 head, a random YA purchase that had a bit of an amateur faceup that needed a clean up, retouch and I wanted to add facial tattoos, as she is a demon girl. I was pretty open since I didn't really know what specifically, and she literally created the most awesome looking face ever!
Second head was a very sentimental project, a surprise gift for my friend, a DDH06, I wanted her to recapture the look of my best friends first doll's first face up, which had been ruined, and we only had pictures of her left. She color matched, and 99.9% captured an upgraded verison of my friends original creation. My friend loved her and was very happy. She ended up deciding she wanted a tiny adjustment to the mouth which Akiko said was no problem!
Overall we are both so beyond pleased their work, and my friend who is very picky is going to be sending her more dolls in the future for tattoo work! We both highly recommend commissioning from akiko!

 

Tsuminaki completed a face-up for my Soom Gena and I couldn't be happier. The end result is absolutely fantastic, even better than I had hoped for. I highly recommend her!

 

This is way overdue, but Tsuminaki has done 2 faceups for me so far, and they were both amazing. One of them for my first bjd and it was such a great experience working with her. She was extremely professional in our conversations, and definitely patient when it came to questions and details about my dolls and their faceups. I definitely will be going back to do another face up with her again and i definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a good experience.

 

This wonderfully gifted and seriously sweet artist just finished the 39th faceup for me and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. She was working on one of my grails, an Iplehouse Real Skin Lahela, and she really brought out the beauty of the sculpt as well as the personality of the original character I was shelling with her. As always, she was full of wonderful suggestions and kept in touch during the entire process. I always feel confident in what the end result will be when I send my resins to her to be worked on. And I always know that they're n good hands. Thank you *SO* much!!
