Metallic print eyes

Customization

My latest eye experiment! These eyes are printed on metallic paper from Nations Photo Lab. They look great, especially the simple colorful designs like the red in center. I need to make the lens part slightly larger since the metallic paper isn’t flexible at all. The prints cost about $2 per 8×10 sheet which makes…

Hikari – Custom DDH-08

Dollfie Dream

Hikari became an MDD for the latest photoshoot! It’s a pretty cute combo, right? I acquired some wishlist outfits from yahoo auctions, and even though they’re made for SDC they do fit MDD perfectly!
