Just more MiMi doodles.
I really struggle with taking photos, but I love how luminous these Hitomiya eyes are, so I decided to play with her a bit~

Miss MiMi’s new “water blue” (maybe “water purple”?) Hitomiya eyes arrived yesterday, so I took them for a test drive~
I’m still a bit on the fence about her faceup, but the eyes suit her well. <3
Girls~
Doodles of Miss MiMi now that she is also back from getting repainted (again).
I have a few quibbles about her faceup, but nonetheless I’m really happy to have her back. Her mouth, like Jer’s, took multiple tries to get even remotely close to right. (I was literally crying after getting her first “finished” photos, because she looked like she was wearing hot pink lipstick, despite my very specifically using the default Tsugumi faceup as a color reference for what I wanted.) Redone, she looks more like V in the “salmon nigiri for a mouth” department, which is fine by me.
I’m a little worried that she looks too glamorous and makeup-y next to GiGi, who has a much cleaner and more natural/neutral faceup, but we’ll see if they work in photos together.
On her own though, she’s very cute. I’m also super biased, because I’m absolutely smitten with the Tsugumi sculpt itself, crooked mouth and all, and MiMi’s design overall (eyes, hair). As a doll, she pleases me a lot.
Bonus – a couple of quickie shots of the two little girls together.
I think my photo editing tendencies kind of mitigate the skintone difference between them; it’s a little more pronounced (and therefore more irksome) in real life. GiGi is my “normal”, with a cleaner (old skool BJD) faceup, while next to her MiMi’s head looks a bit like a pumpkin, it’s so blushed and textured and orange-y. She just doesn’t seem to quite fit in with the rest of the collection, as cute as she is. MiMi looking good when paired with GiGi is crucial.
So I don’t know…
