My three vinyl friends are changing things up a bit...thought I'd share the new look. To recap: Zetto Yamamoto, my wannabe rock star and film school student at UCLA, is an Obitsu 60cm/55cm hybrid. Yumiko Natsume is a Dollfie Dream Yukino-type. And Namiko Yamamoto is a Mini Dollfie Dream with an 04 head. Biff did faceups on Zetto and Namiko.
...even Namiko.
Thought I'd add a few shots that show off Yumiko and her new wig.
I really like this strapless camisole and tap pants. And yes, there's her thigh-highs. She has another pair coming too.
It's good Yumiko looks good in white because it means I don't have to sweat staining. BTW these two lingerie items were White Day gifts from Zetto.
Again, really good that Yumi looks so good in white.
A+ For the David Bowie reference.
Nice job on the Bowie reference.. always good to see those.
The Family is looking good, Biff did a fine job on Namiko's face up.
Actually if you look closely at Zetto's eyes, they are a Bowie reference too. During the time when I was putting Zetto together, I saw a pair of glass eyes in the marketplace at Den of Angels. They were really expensive German glass eyes, but were being sold at a ridiculous price because of the uneven pupils. One was bigger than the other. And they were a very cool color teal. I snagged them.
Eventually I decided he needed a pair of brown ones because he's quite emphatically Asian (His dad's Japanese, his mom's Korean, which explains the Korean features of the sculpt) looking, and Asians don't have teal blue eyes unless they are wearing colored contacts. Eventually he has to take the contacts out sometime. So I had a pair of custom brown acrylic metallic eyes made with the same difference in pupil size. He also wears glasses from time to time as well so when he has the glasses on, brown eyes come in.
I have been liking the looks of the brown metallics so much I haven't yet put the teal eyes back in. I might do that for tomorrow...I've got a doll/cosplay picnic to go to and it might be an interesting pairup with the new wig.
Drat, those pics don't really show off his eyes. If you go to my Flickr:

there are a few pix that are more obvious about the distinctness of his eyes.
Yumiko's getting her Rapunzel on! Looks good. Zetto's hair is quite foofy, but I guess if he's a musician/student, it kind of makes sense that he'd be looking a little unkempt. XD
Zetto moonlighting as Johnny Depp's "stand-in" for Pirates of the Caribean?
Ha, yeah...he does look like an Asian Johnny Depp now, come to think of it. Good. Once I get some Mad Hatter cosplay happening for him it will look awesome.
Awesome!! how about an Edward Scissorhands or Benny 'n Joon reference?.. He's got the face for it, for sure...
The wig already brings back Edward Scissorhands memories.
Woo hoo for David Bowie ref! Is anyone else on here a Bowienetter? My user name, "PrettyCranium" comes from the song "1984" (Diamond Dogs album).
