Lookie! Nao Mirai has a sister (maybe?) :3!
The husband got me a blank head as a late birthday present and I finally got around messing with it. It’s a tricky process as I needed to spray a coat as a base to protect the vinyl from being stained permanently, let that dry before I can paint on it etc etc. Had to remove my attempts a few times before I finally got this. Not sure if she’s gonna keep the look but it’s good for now :) Her eyes are temporarily stuck on, I need to find some kneadable eraser or white bluetac soon ^^;
I wish I gave her a bit more eyelashes on her top lid :P but I like how she looks soft and sweet :)
She has the same head mold as Yukino which is the HDD-03 / Eyeholes Opened, and Animetic Eyes / H Type / Bright Green (WAKABA) in 22 mm
Moe~yo?
Mirai chan looks a bit more playful with company and shorter wig :P She looks like she’s saying,”Hey don’t forget I’m here okay?!”
An extremely helpful pictorial guide by Aquilla on how to install/change Dollfie Dream’s eyes.
Also recently came across a pretty good entry about putting on protective headcap for Dollfies :)
Edited to add a few more photos ^^/ Finally got some adhesive putty for the eyes :P
While I haven’t decided on her name, I decided she’ll probably have the dynamite body and the longer wig :P
Also not sure what their relationship is yet ^^; Sisters? Friends? :P
Would most likely change Mirai’s (optical) eyes in future ^^;
posted a few moar at figure.fm :D
Bonus Moko tan wearing tee-shirt for vintage licca by Yuki ^^/
ETA: One Mamachapp for adoption~!
green eyes is Yukino and brown eyes is Mirai, got it ^^b they look twins but I can tell the difference by their eye color.

I probably have a thing for shoulder length hair XD

I got most of my tips from Aquilla as well. What do you use to remove stains?
I wonder if I should put up a how to for my budget “cling wrap” wig cap.
Oh and how about naming Mirai’s twin as Miria? they’re twin’s so to speak. :P

We’re so lucky that she has some knowledge about Dollfie dreams! and Oh I use pimple cream to remove, but it can take a while ^^; Unfortunately that name will probably become tongue twister/confusing lol
[Reply]
Very cute. So technically, the new head is “custom-made”? It’s very well done! ^^

It’s more custom painted :) as I did not do any extra like carving and what not ^^ Unfortunately I feel that if we look at her close up I still feel that the make up can be better ^^; But will leave it for now ^^;
[Reply]
WOW I can’t believe how amazing she looks :’O!!! Sooo professionally done and so beautiful, I am so amazed and speechless x’D
（´・ω・｀） woowwwww

Followed on DCC! Love the work… I recommend “Miria” for her name… (sorry, I’m a Robotech/Macross fanatic! give her dark green hair and
it’d work)

^^;;; did U see the comment above? lol! I probably won’t give my dollfies dark wigs tho ^^; I haven’t been able to get over the possibility of staining them with a dark wig :P
[Reply]
Fantastic job! I also have a custom head I did. Wish I shared my experiences with you beforehand with my own custom job!

Symmetrical docking :D.
The pimple cream you’ll be using is a Oxy10?

Oh! the one I bought doesn’t say Oxy10, just Oxy Acne Vanishing Treatment, Benzoyl Peroxide 5% :) Hope it helps ^^/

Thanks! you’re so sweet! It’s not perfect trust me :P but good enough to stay for a while lol :D I’ll have to save more money first before thinking of “More often” lol! :D

They are twins. Maybe not identical, although even with identical twins there can be considerable differences in appearance growing up. Miria and Mirai work as names. I like the slight arch of your faceup’s eyebrow. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: it might have been an accident but it works as if it was by design.

Have you thought of taking commissions?
I have an extra head that I’m looking to commission a faceup for since I have no experience with doing one myself lol

Ah ^^; unfortunately I am not confident doing faceups professionally just yet so I won’t be taking :P it drives me kinda crazy when they don’t match exact ^^;
wow that faceup looks amazing on mirai-chan’s twin. i still have to re-do a faceup on my DD, the coating wasn’t even and it smelled bad. at least it didn’t take me long on the first try.
