My customs WIP - Obitsu faceup attempts
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2012 8:06 pmI hope this is the right forum to post this; I may end up adding updates to this thread later. I recently purchased several 1/6 Obitsu bodies and some heads to customize. I've been playing with the idea of doing a custom loosely based on Asuka from Evangelion TV, less anime more "real." I currently have a set of Liv dolls cosplaying as Eva characters of which I'll post pics once I'm able to take good pictures of them. These photos are impromptu, so the quality is terrible (I need to invest in a good camera) but I really wanted to share what I've done so far.
My first attempt at doing any sort of actual faceup, let alone on an Obitsu. I'm specifically focused on the eyes, which are meant to resemble Ms. Miyamura, her seiyuu for the entire series. It is a W-01 Auburn fleshtone head on a 25cm body which. I used watercolor pencils (Prismacolor), suggested by a how-to I read a while ago, but it is not sealed. I'll need to paint in the whites of the eyes, and other details for a finished look.
She's in the yellow summer dress with slip that came with Pullip Asuka Langley doll (incidentally, the plugsuit also fits the 25cm Obitsu, but all of the footwear is too small for the Obitsu feet) and a pair of Barbie Basic optional shoes/sneakers. I'll pick up some more character appropriate shoes later.
In case anyone was wondering, the new Stardoll heads (with such small neck holes) and clothing fit onto the Obitsu 27cm 2-part medium bust bodies, though you'll have difficulty getting a color match. I have the pale Fallen Angel on a fleshtone body, which looks better than on a pale body because the Fallen Angel has a slight tint of tan that is less obvious on the fleshtone. The shoes are loose, but they are shaped and angled in a way that it's really the floppiness of the shoe heel that determines if she has trouble standing. I imagine they should fit the other Obitsu 27cm dolls as well.
