Kaibara Returns!

I don't think I've posted anything about her here yet, but my SDC Sora, Kaibara is coming home soon. :) I sent her off to Texas for face-up and tattooing. I think the artist, VelvetTiger, did an amazing job bringing my idea to life. It started out as a very basic concept, and I wasn't sure what to expect, but it came out beautifully, I am certainly pleased.

Out of all my dolls, Kai has been the one to go through the most change. To be very honest, when I got her, it was because I wanted a readily available MSD-sized doll on which to conceptualize this tattoo. She started out like this:

After I dressed her up a bit, and gave her a new outfit, she really started to grow on me. I had some misgivings about sending her off for the tattoo, because I had somewhat grown to like her sweet expression. In the end, I still sent her off.

Now she looks like this. From sweet to sassy. I quite like it....In fact, I love it. She still has that hint of sweetness underneath. A mysterious, lethal kind of sweet. 

Right now, this is just a photo of the completed job that the artist sent me. Wonder what she'll look like after I dress her up?
