If Justyn is from a grocery store, Joce is from Target.

No reason for this. (Do I need one?)
Oh, how I love my Justyn and Vincynt. ♥
You always dress in yellow
When you wanna dress in gold
Instead of listenin’ to your heart
You do just what you’re told
If you keep waiting where you are
Oh what you’ll never know
So let’s just get into your car,
And go baby go!

Or, put another way, this has a number of reasons for existing.
One, I wanted to experiment more with some new lamps. Two, someone claimed that even if Justyn wore the “ugliest outfit in existence”, he’d still be worthy of fangirling. (♥) This goes along with three, the saying that if someone is truly gorgeous, they can make even something like a potato sack, a brown paper bag, or a garbage bag look awesome. And finally, there were a few posts on DoA about doll photos “coming alive” for others because of amazing outfits.
What do all of these have in common, you ask? Well…what I wanted to see was if two and three were indeed true by experimenting with reason number one, and to make a point that perhaps “amazing outfits” aren’t all there is to a doll “coming alive”. Thus, Justyn’s lovely ensemble tonight comes courtesy of Wegmans, which is the closest thing I had to a brown paper bag.
This post is really just about is messing with Joce’s eye color.
Something has bothered me since his green and orange eyes arrived, but it wasn’t until Justyn’s Violet Poem head arrived that I figured out the problem. After examining the Hitomiya brown eyes Justyn’s head came with, compared to the eyes Joce had, the orange and green eyes seem to be a lot “flatter”. The brown eyes have way more depth and thus make Joce’s gaze a little less focused, a little less a full-on bold stare. While I love the Slimer green color especially, the flatness of it, despite the nice paperweighting and overall quality, made photographing him a little odd. So I decided to switch up eyes again.
Left eye (the one normally visible) with an 18mm brown eye, and his right eye (normally hidden) is now the green one. Dunno if the difference in “depth” is clearly distinguishable in this photo; I really prefer natural light over artificial, although that might just be inexperience talking.
I like the concept of him hiding the green eye, a “design flaw” from his creation. I think all angels of his power type have mismatched eyes.
The weight that lays on your shoulders
Could be the wings that carry you home
Come on, come on
