So! I'd like to contribute to the board by sharing a couple of my latest custom dolls. I have a LONG way to go as far as learning how to do better 1/6 scale faceups for dolls, but seeing your work will definitely inspire me! ♥
If any of you know about the anime and manga series Death Note, you may recognize my dolls here as two characters from the second arc, Mello and Near.
I used a Volks Goh Guy body in natural skin and a natural skin 03 head from Obitsu with pre-rooted blonde hair for Mello. For Near, I used a Volks white skin EB C-boy body and an Obitsu 01 head in white. I later purchased a white wig from Mimiwoo and ended-up doing some horrific maneuvers on Near's head that involved removing the wig wefts and gluing them right onto his head to reduce the silly amount of volume that you see in this picture. XD He looks a lot better now, I assure you-!
Another picture of Mello that shows his face paint a bit better. I painted the facial scar so that it extends down his neck, over his shoulder and down his left arm as well, but alas, for his clothing covers it. XD; That's fine, though, he could stand to have a bit of a paint make-over.
Aaand a shot of the awesome Cy-girl hands that I bought for Mello, which fit BEAUTIFULLY and work an awful lot better for gripping tiny 1/6 scale guns and chocolate bars.
And this... isn't so much on-topic, I guess, but... XD My favourite part of doll customization lies in getting the perfect little odds and ends! So I wanted to share some of the perfect little bits that I hunted down for my boys.
