Normal BJD Eyes on DDs

  ingeneu said:

AntElistist: Those are such amazing and realistic eyes in your Rise!!! Are they ED 18mm? I tried 18mm and they just gave her a vacant stare look. Wondering if anyone's tried 20mm or would they be too big?

 

That's actually Kosmos and Alna.... And yes. All 3 of my girls are on ED 18mm.

 

This is Sheryl:

 

ED 20mm eye in Miki.

The other side is WDS 20mm acrylic eye.

 

ED 22mm eyes in Alisa.

 

 

 

Hey! You are Jon, aren't you?

ehehehehe

 

I see the 22mm looks really nice. I should grab some and try, but dayum could be expensive. The resin eyes I bought wrongly for sheryl. The eyes looks derp.... orz

I think Sheryl is better with just 18mm with larger pupil, or 18mm wide iris type, or 20mm.

And better order with low dome. High dome looks weird in DD and harder to place in DD.

I really need to consult you on glass/resin eyes for the difference of it

 

I do think Sheryl fit wide iris. hmm...... Very new to this whole new world.

Wakakaka ok will do

Here I have 22mm BJD eyes worn by Takane Shijou: Too big in my opinion, to show some white in her eye she must look to the side

They're worn by Beatrice now and she has the right eyehole size for them, I think xD

Any other good bjd eyes brand suggestion another than ED? maybe something cheaper

I like glass eyes, My favorites are Ginarolo glass eyes and the ones from luts.com but, unfortunately, the biggest size Luts has is 18mm and Ginarolo is 20mm

 

 

Licht acrylic eyes are cheap and some of them can be found in bigger sizes like 22mm -24mm http://www.lichtbjd.com/category.php?id=14

oh yay thanks for the reference they have lot of option like ed, cool! will consider them as a option But how about these cheap eyes from ebay? are these worth to buy? i mean, i seem still cant notice the differences between "expensive eyes" and "cheap eyes" of normal bjd eyes

http://www.ebay.com/itm/wamami-29-16mm-Wine-Red-For-BJD-Doll-Dollfie-Glass-Eyes-Outfit-/391500315138?hash=item5b273cba02:g:rt4AAOSwZVhWSwgP

http://www.ebay.com/itm/wamami-EW04-16mm-Light-Pink-No-Pupil-For-BJD-Doll-Dollfie-Glass-Eyes-Outfit-/391465332774?hash=item5b2526f026:g:y6sAAOSwixtXQ13D

Differences tend to be:

 

Quality - More expensive brands often have more strict quality control, and are less likely to send out eyes with off-center pupils, misshapen irises, bubbles in the resin, etc.

 

Color - More expensive brands often have richer, more intense colors as well as more colors to choose from

 

Details - More expensive brands often have more detail in their eyes, such as striations or lines around the pupil, glitter, metallic effects, color shifts, small items embedded within the eyes (gears for steampunk, small hearts and stars for a cute look), etc.

 

Reflection - More expensive brands often use a more luminescent materials that does a better job of catching the light, making the eyes look "less flat" and "more alive"

 

However, if you don't notice or don't care about the differences, there's nothing wrong with a pair of cheap glass eyes.

I have a pair of glass eyes from ebay as well as 2 acrylic pairs but consider it's very hard to find anything of 22 mm or better 24 mm size which is practically the only size most DD can wear without looking startled , just a few heads can wear 18-20 mm successfully ( Rise , Alna , Kosmos Takane and Alisa for example ) , while the eyes you linked are only 16 mm , so too small to look good

This is my newest project. Another girl looking as the elegant girl she is supposed to be

My girl, Jun, wears Enchanted Doll Urethane Eyes in 18mm:

 

 

 

I personally love them, and I've been contemplating putting Urethanes in Alna for quite some time... the color is so rich and it gets rid of that "STARE" feeling I sometimes get from the animatic eyes... where it feels to me like the dolls just have this unfocused stare.

Until I saw this thread today and your photos, I wasn't really a big fan of the normal BJD eyes but your dolls look so amazing. I may have to reconsider.

@AntElitist: She is so delicate looking and sweet what sculpt is she? she looks great with those rich brown BJD eyes.

Sheryl Nome.

 

Thank you for your kind compliments

AntElitist, your girl is so beautiful! She has a air of being a young aristocratic lady in a painting from the 1600s or 1700s. I really enjoy how you style your dolls.

 

Has anyone heard of Coeur Lapin's line of glass eyes made for DD? Coeur Lapin is a BJD eyemaker (I think one artisan) in Japan who has made a line of eyes called 18mmO, which are elongated pupil/iris BJD-esque glass eyes.

That's Sheryl!? Wow. Has she had any mods, or is that all just faceup magic? Because. . .maybe, just maybe, she might work for my "unshellable" OC. . .

Yes. That's Sheryl. And it's all faceup magic. I had my Hadaly (Kosmos) faceup by the same Artist and I am positive she can faceup Sheryl to the one I have in mind, so indeed it is working.

 

Totally NO mods.

I got mine during one of the hongkong Doll party . I would say it's better to get them in a conversation then online shopping because you can see them in person. ED's eyes sometimes looks a lot different from the pictures they have online., I think it's because they are handmade and they sometimes just don't get the color palette right.
