Claire's new eyes

[ravenwcatz]

If you've known me for any length of time, you probably didn't even know I *had* a Xiao Fan. I've had her for many years, and I have literally one photo that suggests that she came to PUDDLE with me a couple of years ago, but I never really warmed up to her look. I scrolled through *pages* of custom Xiao's on the forums, mournfully wailing "This girl doesn't look good in ANYTHING!" because I couldn't find a wig/eyechip combo that made her green-tinged faceup bearable to me. So she hid in the back of my doll display for quite some time.

And then I made eyechips, and I needed someone to model them.

Well. I was wrong. She does, in fact, look good. In everything. Apparently, she had to steal Zephyr's RealChampagne Leeke wig to do it, but she looks pretty amazing in everything.

So... the long story is that I put ten different pairs of chips in her head yesterday. But the ones that I settled on (for now. I really love the brown ones too, which was a complete surprise to me.) were...

These ones! Isn't she adorable? I'm so pleased, it's like having an entirely new doll!
