rkoldToday my Ethereal Angels eye candies came in. I'm rather pleased, though I now have to go digging up emails and contacting people from Yaoicon about commissions. Fan-artists ~.~
Lux in her 16mm Periwinkle eyes
Inari in 14mm Nostaliga
Twins and "Uncle" Syuusuke plushie. lol
The separate picture of Kitsune didn't come out well, and she needs the proper wig. She also has a minor problem...
So, thoughts on Eye Candies:
First, I love the colors and their depth. They also go into the socket like a dream. I am going to try and get some more, mainly Lux really needs 14 mm cause the 16 is enormous on her (but the color is PERFECT) and I want to get some for Alec. I am tempted to try 14mm in Wisteria for Kira. The colors do look darker in person and particularly out of the dolls when there is no flash. It's something to think about, since when one sees their own dolls flash is generally not about. Nostaliga is a more golden color than Golden Rod HG, but not so greenish as hazel.
Now the negatives... When trying to fit them in, I used some putty that came with some of my BlueFairy heads. It's extremely sticky and got on one of Kitsune's eyes. When trying to clean the putty off, I somehow managed to mess up the finish so one of her eyes is a little clouded looking or looks a bit darker in pictures. It's highly depressing. I knew urethane eyes were more delicate but hadn't realized it was quite like this! I keep hoping with time it will look better, though if I ever can make enough money selling things I might just need to someday order a new pair.
I like the selection of colors though. I love Hitomiya, but you can't easily pick the colors and sizes you want, and it is particularly a challenge to find nice eyes in 14 mm. There is a lot more in 12 and 16 out there.
But I do plan to try more, they're expensive, but I am just amazed at how pretty the colors are and as you can see they photograph pretty well too. ^_^
