Glossy Eyes (My experience building these)

Added 2021-07-30 15:07:26 +0000 UTC

Both of these customers were very much ok with me testing new techniques on this heads and pretty happy with everything.

A few things tested:

-3D printed base, the larger one is printed foam filament which makes the head extra light. The smaller is just regular PLA+

-New nose patterns to create a nostril nose without deep nose holes (will be posting this tutorial soon)

-Glossy eyes that look closer to my art. Loved how well these worked out on a hard base.

-Fan inside to help keep the eyes from fogging.

-Hybrid head which has the front printed and the back is all foam for comfort.

-New types of eyebrows made out of minky

Both of these were printed making it so much easier to add a fan and secure the eyes better. The head below was done all out of foam which did make adding a fan pretty complicated after the fact. I wasn't sure if the foam base was going to need a fan to keep the fog down which was eventually needed.

Overall I love the look and super happy with the final results. They photograph well and any fogging that happens is inside so you never see it on the outside. I want to try doing more rounded eye soon with the same look sometime soon.
