Which head to get?

Postby Alopecia No Hime » Thu Jun 16, 2011 5:51 pm

For my 11cm Obitsu? I want to get a flesh toned doll this time instead of the usual white (I love how Haruka and Riven look but I hate how I have to take a zillion picks for them to not look...Too washed out.) I also want to get a Neko head.

Problem? I can't choose.

Which head should I get?

Neko pre-root dark brown hair?

Neko pre-roo black hair?

Or should I just go with a bald neko head and buy a wig?

My character is Haruhi; Haruka's biological little sister and fellow telekenisis user.

Do you have any character in mind? I´d say if you can´t choose which hair collor to take then go for a wig. :)

Yeah, Can't really say. For ppl you are asking, we have no criteria to go on for advising you. The colors are super close and it's a personal choice. I can tell you though that the black is a black black and is a cooler tone while the dark brown is very dark so it is close to a warm brown black if that helps you decide.

Thanks to you both. It really is a tough choice but I think I'm going with just a neko head and *gulp* try painting it. At least with the bald head I could always switch the colors out and get her a black wig if I wanted to and I wouldn't worry about ruining a head with my amature face-ups.

ah haha I don't think i realy helped but I'm glad you decided. The great thing about naked heads is that there's on way to mess up. You can keep washing off the faceup if you want.

Total agreement there. I plan on alternating between watercolor pencils and acrylic paints...But I could also use the watercolor pencils too...

I guess I'll make my choice on that one when I get Haruhi. :)

*A very dark brown hair neko appears to muddy the waters*

She's a self-root Volks Chaos brown. If you're rooting your own head there are some shades that very dark brown to the point of almost black that its not overly obvious unless in strong light
