My Smart Doll before she lost her eyes.

I had installed, several times, Follow Me Eyes before the official ones were released.  I really didn't think they were a good fit for a few reasons.  The eyes themselves were a little thick/bulky, especially for Kanata, and absolutely impossible to use the eye placement kit I had recently got (instead of using putty, it's instead a small device meant to fit inside a SD skull, using double-sided tape.  It also allows you to move the eyes around).  I also always had issues placing them right/they always seemed, well, cock-eyed to me.  So, after removing these eyes, and intending to use my kit.... I realized I had lost Kanata's original eyes.  However, I always really liked the color, especially combined with the blond wig as a look for my doll.  To the point I even purchased a blonde wig of the more-or-less same color, albeit in a bun, to wear with her kimono.

Loving the eyes ^__^ I've seen the kit for sale a few times but being old school as I am I'm still adjusting them by hand for every shoot. Your girl looks gorgeous in all these shots. Sad to hear you seem to have lost her original eyes.

I love these, the last pic especially! Kanata's eye makeup is very expressive. Yours is very cute! 

I was interested in the follow me eyes as well but kind of felt that the original eye placement for the regular ones is kind of like that already. I may have to look into these kits, I hate doing eye placement manually and it could be very useful for photos. I know the official/original placement they come with seems cross-eyed to a lot of people, and while I don't mind it, your pics definitely show off the use of eye placement well. 

I also really like your girl's outfit! She definitely has a cute style. 

Where do you get ''Follow me eyes'' ?

@Resilient  Primarily through Etsy sellers and similar crafting sites. The eyes are created by printing a graphic design onto a sheet of paper, and then gluing that paper to the flat side of a glass cabochon. The dome on the cabochon is wider and flatter than the dome of a Dollfie eye, and rarely fits as well inside of most models. They usually work best on dolls with large sockets and eye openings, whereas Katana here is a dreaming-eye sculpt. Of course the tradeoff is that wonderful illusion of continual eye contact, and if you can find a good model for the fit, the effect is amazing.
