Thanks, Landwhale-san!! :hugs:
He's going to be Miyano Mamoru! (Seiyuu)
In early January, I decided that I wanted to make the rest of the 'Corda Team' seiyuu portrait dolls. (You've seen 2 of them in the 'Hey!x3' photostories---Satoshi & Jun.) There are 12 Corda seiyuu and we own three already, so I figured 'What the heck!' and decided to go nuts and get the other 9.
So from there, it was a search of EVERY company to find the perfect head sculpts (and bodies in correct sizing) for the guys. I was starting to give up on Mamo-chan and then found a sculpt that I figured would work--sort of---with a lot of carving/sanding and elbow-grease, but was probably too small for his 70-72cm body anyway. (Island Doll Eric)
So the search continued. I found heads for all the other 7 but these two, just eluded me! I mean, you can buy a head and MAKE it look like a certain person with modifying, a lot, but it's really best and wonderful when the sculpt already looks like them to start with and you just have to get the details and some minor modifications in.
When I hit Angelsdoll, I almost fainted!!!!! There, were TWO almost perfect sculpts, that I wouldn't have to modify much, IF AT ALL! Shakan for Miyano Mamoru and Ieseul for Uchida Yuuya. I mean, honestly, THEY ARE THEM!!!!!
Shakan:
Mamo:
Ieseul (as a girl):
Yuuya:
I honestly think they were thinking of Miyano Mamoru when they sculpted Shakan!!! The resemblance is just too uncanny!!! (Or is it just me that thinks so?!) What do you guys think?
And then Ieseul! I know it's a 'girl sculpt' (actually, both Satoshi and Jun are girl sculpts, too ^^;;) but she's really just like Yuuya-san, especially that smile!!!
I'm still debating between 3 heads for Ito Kentaro, but the other 6 I'm all set with and either have in the closet or on preorder from MoC. So it's just ONE last head left to decide on and then to buy!!!!!! YAY!!!! (I'm wavering between an Angel Street Haziel and an Impldoll Bosco....and now I just saw a Domuya 2010 event head that might work, too.....)
Anyway, I can't wait to get these 2 and soon after, begin our 'seiyuu' portraiting journey!!!! I have most of them in my closet right now, but all blank and not worked on yet. I figured we'd wait until all 9 are here and we can modify their faces all at once, and then I can do a faceup marathon on them!
