belpita Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) I picked her up from the post office today, but had to go straight to work afterwards. So these photos are just some quick snaps from opening the box and trying out some wigs this evening. Pardon the lousy lighting! There will be more photos eventually...especially since the clothes I had intended for her didn't work at all. Straight out of the box and wigless. Then I tried on some wigs I had at home. This one is quite nice, actually. Then I changed the eyes. These were not the ones I had intended for her (either), but the Oscar ones that I bought turned out to be too big after all. These are ok-ish, I think they may be 18-20mm. What do you think? Anyway, this is the wig I had planned for her to wear. It's an old Acquire/Seph Draven two-tone. It works really well with her complexion, but urgh, I just hate long wigs. They're so much work to keep pretty! Edited June 6, 2017 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sakura2012 Posted September 5, 2016 I like this pic of your SmartDoll Coca Chitose. She's really pretty with that wig and it does go with her complexion. I would like to get Harmony soon!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty Posted September 6, 2016 I really like the colour she is in these photos, the purple hue isn't really there at all. I also really like those new eyes! They have a lot of personality and really give her a unique look. I can see now that that it really was just her silver hair and blue eyes clashing with her skintone that was throwing me off before. *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlyViolin Posted September 6, 2016 That two tone wig... hnnrrggg so pretty on her. It's long but keep it even though it' more effort. Because she's worth it. -shampoo commercial hair flick- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archeotech Posted September 6, 2016 I was going to say the same thing as Torino, that she doesn't look purple at all here! How does she look in person in Natural light? Does she have a purplish-greyish tone like in Danny's pictures or does she look more like she does in your pictures? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belpita Posted September 6, 2016 Moaaaar photos! So, yes, her skintone is perhaps a little purplish, but it's less obvious when she's on her own. I think I will take this wig to a wig shop close to work and ask if they have any tips on making it less frizzy. But here she is with my three AA Barbies and the difference is apparent. Pardon the possibly NSFW! "Listen, if you have a problem with my attitude, I don't actually care." Oh, ok, Haeryung! Oops. "Hm, it seems I have to teach this Hooman a thing or two." Welp? Also, she has the prettiest toes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missy_Magoo Posted September 6, 2016 ahh, you got her!! Wow, that skintone, I think I'm in love! I actually like the darker eyes you've got her in, gives her an air of innocence somehow, which is very cute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

belpita Posted September 13, 2016 I bought her some 20mm eyes, instead of the 18mm she was wearing previously. They are also glittery! (Pardon the messy wig!) I think the only real problem with regularly manufactured eyes is that they are not as flat as the Smartdoll ones, so they will not lay perfectly against the eye socket hole.

SolicitorPirate Posted September 13, 2016 It's like there are literal galaxies inside her eyes. It's a really cool effect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ie-Aster Posted September 13, 2016 She's very pretty! I love the glittery eyes and I think she looks great with dark eyes and a wig. The eyes positioned as you did also give her so much personality, she seems like someone who's really got it together and has no time for anyone's incompetence xD At home: Mei (DDP Lucy custom), Aku (DDB Takane custom) En route: L.

belpita Posted December 30, 2016 Let's revive this thread for my doll! Here's a photo I took of her when she was waiting for Santa. Unfortunately, Santa (ehum, the post service) hasn't delivered her new clothes quite yet. But she has three pairs of new shoes! I changed her wig, perhaps temporarily or not.

SeikoKitsune Posted January 2, 2017 Somehow I missed this thread before - I love your girl!~ I've been wondering what cocoa Chitose would look like in owner photos, and here she is in all her glory! I'm planning on getting a Harmony sometime so it's great to know that her skintone can look that good. And it's also good to know that flatter eyes work better on Smart Dolls. Your girl's galaxy eyes are great on her~~ The cast so far: Sky (DDS Mariko), "SK" (DDH-07 on DDS) Extra: LEN KAGAMINE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hikikohooni Posted January 2, 2017 Whoop, there it is. A lovely cocoa Chitose. I need one.... or I can get a Miku. Decisions....Decisions.... If I had a job instead of being a middle school student I could save enough. Eventually. I really like your eye choices, for me, color and style is my strongest suit, but pricing and size? In that spot, I guess I'm a dumb mouthbreathing gorilla. I also like the temporary wig best! I hope my ramble wasn't too bad. It's twelve AM and I'm not sleeping any better.

belpita Posted January 6, 2017 We (er, or just me) have been playing a lot of 'Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X' lately and Haeryung was just wondering if she could be as stylish as Meiko one day. "Sssh, I'm trying to get this song right!" "This is so hard! How do you do it?" And yes, her clothes came! She's wearing Dolline (Etsy) above. I also got an overall from Chocolate Tsang (Etsy). Later on, I plan to knit her something also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yay clothes! what're you going to knit? I started on a pair of socks. Next thing is a matching set of hat, scarf and mittens. Then I also want to knit some sort of jumper, but I haven't decided if it should be just plain stocking stitch or some cable pattern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belpita Posted February 8, 2017 I think I've finally found a wig style that works for her! And I've also decided to call her Nila instead of Haeryung, so the thread has a new title. The wig is a dark purple one from Acquire Wigs, but it's actually a little too big. I'm going to look for another one either in the same colour or just a plain black one. Chocolate, for those Wednesday blues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
