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! This one is the ‘Sugar Pearl Dress’ set from 2007. Hikari is also modeling some new eyes I made, the design…

You can use air-dry plastic like Apoxie Sculpt, apply a printed eye design with Modge Podge, and then seal/gloss using Tamiya X-22 enamel paint or similar. In…
