Valkyrie Hunter D Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Hello all. I wanted to show off the results of a quick alteration to ARII’s 1/6 Minmay figure. The eyes that ARII chose were real bad, so bad that sometime last year, I tried to repaint them. While I was satisfied with the results, it could’ve been better: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 Now Wave makes some killer looking anime eye decals, and I decided to give them a shot. After scraping and cleaning off my work, I slid on a pair of Wave’s eyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 I'm pretty sure I got the eye color wrong, but I'm really pleased with the way the decals look. Now I gotta track down a Misa figure and see what it'll look like with these new sets of brown eyes. Last one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damaramu Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Those eye decals look great, but they make Minmay look a little.....sleepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I like the little sweat/teardrop coming out of one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 where is that little sweat/ teardrop? i do not see it, is it just glare from the pic? or is my eyesite that bad? BTW the red eyes make her look like a vampire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 (edited) just a little bit on the bottom eyelash. shiny bit on cheek = indication of moisture. Great attention to detail! Very subtle Oh and the eyes are brown aren't they? Edited October 11, 2004 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 (edited) *she was wearing colored contacts that day. *may not be true Edited October 11, 2004 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 Teardrop? Nah, the decal was still a little moist when the pic was taken. And the eyes are really brown, BTW. If HLJ stocks up on green eye decals again, I'll snag a set and do another job on Minmay. It's pretty cool how Wave tries to mimic many different artists' eyes. There's a pair that looks very Shirow-esque, and even a pair that looks exactly like Yurika's from Nadesico. I figured applying that set would make Minmay look way too perky.

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 nice but shouldn't her eyes be blue? They shouldn't be brown, that's for sure I still don't know if Minmay's eyes are blue or green. But then again, "Chinese girls don't come with green eyes."

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 These would look good on the sides of the koenig monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 wow on my computer they(the eyes)look alittle red, though they are nice a great solution to those of us who have a hard time painting eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool, I've had an unfinished 1/6th Deunan Knute I never started because I was too scared to do the eyes. Minmay looks a lot better with those decals, although I dunno if the style of eyes really fits the HAl design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 nice but shouldn't her eyes be blue? CONTACTS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 nice but shouldn't her eyes be blue? They shouldn't be brown, that's for sure I still don't know if Minmay's eyes are blue or green. But then again, "Chinese girls don't come with green eyes." Is Minmay chinese????? or Japanese? Chinese... maybe it's not red, maybe it's the flash...
