5th Motif Discussion - part 5

He’s so charming! Love to see more pictures of him!

 

Yay, my Imgur works again! I got new eyes for Carol and edited his faceup for the tiniest bit once more, and he finally looks like I want him to. The freckles on his 5 years old faceup were such hard to mimic, because back then I think I just did them with pure luck. The eyes are actually pure orange, all the way to the pupil, but they have a fun quality of looking beige or even green in some light conditions. I like it, because outside the doll shell too his character's eyes glow more orange sometimes when he's very powerful, and sometimes he looks almost human.

Now all that is left to do is condition his wig to get his magnificent curls back all the way. Maybe a little dye refresh while I'm at it.

 

He looks so fine!

 

I agree, I always love to see Carol too, I think you did a beautiful refresh for him

 

@eunni @Grimalkin Thank you both! I cannot take full credit though, his faceup beneath all those edited layers was done by PauliAnne. Intially he had a faceup by me, but it was my 3rd attempt at a faceup or something like that, and a refresh was due. It took me 2 years to get him looking just right, and I swear I'll scream if I accidentally damage the faceup some day.

 

Ahhh he's absolutely stunning! Definitely one of my favourite Venitus out there.

 

@Quiet and Insane Thank you!

 

I know I show him everywhere, but here is a pic of my Venitu. First real photoshoot since I redid his custo!

 

He's incredible! I love his face up - the scar and skin texturing is gorgeous!

 

Thank you @Quiet and Insane ! ♥

 

Had a wild experience of helping my partner clean their closet out and discovered this boy!

Don’t know how he ended up there when his body is in my room. Any ideas of what I should make him into?

 

I don't know if everyone else knew this and I just wasn't in the loop, but according to his FB, Mr. Cho is going to open up in-stock purchases of both Venitu and Goohwa heads and the hand sets. I'm going to try and get a Venitu head, I've wanted one since I first looked into the hobby as a teen, but gave up cause of the price and how limited they were. No word on when bodies or full dolls might be available but I imagine he'll try his best if these in-stock purchases do well.

 

I saw that! I'm quite excited as I'd love to snag a second (or third) Venitu head sometime in the future. Fingers crossed the preorders do well for him and there's enough interest that he can keep them available for a while.

 

The engagement on his FB posts seem positive (don't know about IG, or if he even has one, I gave up when they got rid of the hashtag sorting) so I think it's looking positive! I really only need the one head, I'll have to look around at budget-friendly hybrid options (I'm hoping he can fit on the Akagidoll 72cm boy body alright)

Since I'm new here, does anyone know folks that still make neck donuts to help with hybrids? I'd like to know where I can get those just in case I need them.

 

I’ve been wanting a Venitu since I discovered the hobby. May have to actually get a Facebook for this! So exciting!

 

Mr. Cho does have instagram.

Venitu might require a custom made neck donut just due to the shape and attatchment style of his head. Though, in the comments, someone had mentioned changing the head to fit other bodies and I think he said he'd consider it. (If my memory is right)

 

I would love to get a hands set! And possibly a second Venitu head so that I can mod it to have closed eyes to go with my main guy. I just love how expressive the hands are and had previous to this announcement resigned to never owning them.

 

Oh does he? I wasn’t aware. Could you lead me in that direction?

 

Just search for Fifth Motif.
I have a handset which I adore although I rarely use them. But when I do, I am very happy to have them. When you look at his profile, there’s a link to a YouTube channel with videos modeling uses of the hands! Just discovered them this week. He tells me he’s happy to see how I use them (like he hoped we would).

 

Ohhhhh, modding a head. Dang it, that's a great idea! I could make a winking head for Victor....
