She would make a cute Dio from Last Exile. :3

Got shipping notice for Rise!

Rise arrived! Here's her very first photo:

 

 

She is just so gorgeous! I'm super in-love.

 

Which eyes did you go with for her? The ones I got are stuck with the leekeworld group order.

They are Twin Snow eyes, can't quite remember the color. I really dislike Rise's original eyes...

I got http://www.leekeworld.com/En/Product/p_view.asp?it_code=2868&B_catalog_num=23 for her.

 

I'm hoping they look nice.

 

She's able to take up to 22mm eyes though? I thought she'd be able to take 20mm as a maximum since those are her default size.

Rise should be here TOMORROW!!!!!

Those look LOVELY!!!!! I can't wait to see them in your girl!!

Thank you! Depending on how "bad" I find her defaults I might temporarily change them to some volks eyes I have that are 18mm. But I think I do want to keep her with brown eyes.

 

I hope my Rise is as quick as yours! I'm not sure how long priority mail is from Texas (it's guaranteed 3 day delivery), but I'd think that she should arrive by Saturday at the latest (which means she'll be here Monday).

 

edit: The post office guesses she'll be here by Friday, maybe Thursday afternoon.

My girl is wearing 22mm eyes, but they're a narrow style rather than a round style. I angled them, so you're only seeing the bottom 2/3s of the eye and the top 1/3 is totally hidden inside the head.

 

I tried glass and urethane eyes in my girl, both 18mm and 20mm, and I ended up feeling like the pupil was too large and she looked a little stoned. All of mine have the standard black pupil -- the light brown pupil might be just right! Can't wait to see how she looks.

Ahh, that makes sense. I was wondering whether you shaved off part of the middle so they'd fit snugly together. Since twin-snow are made with those plastic cases I figured it would be easy to do. The green eyes look really nice in her.

 

It was a long time to try and figure out what I thought would be the right eye. I kept looking at animetics but they never felt right for how the eyes look in the game. And I didn't want to go to regular BJD eyes because I figured she'd look like she was on drugs. I thought these would be a good hybrid, with the brown pupil making them look less realistic, and thus not look like she's following me around everywhere.

Rise is out for delivery!!!!! Huuuuuuurrrrryyyyy!
