My DIM Kadaj Minimee, a few very repetitive photos of his, all dressed borrowing my Mano's body. He would probably look okay on this body, if I had widened the neck opening. However, I didn't do that. I did widen it a bit but not enough for him to sit well on the neck. It's a 12.5cm neck, and while this head sculpt is on the smaller side of DIM Minimee heads, he is still quite large. Kadaj is not a tall character however, he is at around 5' 7-9" depending on how tall Square Enix thought Cloud was in Advent Children. They made everyone taller in Remake, so that Cloud wasn't as short (or so I believe. Just theoretically speaking, but they did change the heights of all to be much taller, now Sephy is like 6' 6", when he was originally 6' 1" in the OG FFVII game). However, Kadaj is a very young person in AC, at around fifteen or sixteen. Which is weird, because from what I understand, most tall people are the height they are going to grow to be in their teens, but I guess it's Japan trying to romanticize height, for some weird reason. My tallest nephew is 6' 4", he was that height since he turned 14... just saying.

I am super happy with him, I never had plans for him to have a body, he is not well proportioned on this body. However, I was able to take fully-clothed, full-body shots before. Now, my Mano's elastic is all loose. He doesn't stand, nor sit, nor pose well anymore. I don't trust him without a stand, so I have him sitting down while taking photos for all my photos so far. It is a pain in the gut hole, but I don't know when I'll be getting new elastic for him. I have restrung my BJD many times, as I used to redo their body shading a lot when I first got them a million years ago. However, I never purchased new elastic for any. I believe my SoulDoll Paris came with a replacement piece (I haven't checked, as I want to get through the dolls/heads I want to redo in some way, first). None of my others have any, so I'll have to invest some time and effort to purchase new elastic for all -- I don't want to purchase the wrong kinds, only for it to go to waste.

More repetitive photos of my DIM MInimee Kadaj head sculpt. I was too lazy to resize all, because I took way too many, trying to get the perfect lighting. Trying to make my older phone not make his wig look as dark as a pit from h3ll. However, taking a look at these ones, these are way more accurate. So, here are a few I was not too lazy to resize. They all look like carbon copy of each other, but there are some that are a lot more terrible than others. So, I just picked the ones that seemed a bit more varied... lol!

I am currently working on my Kadaj and Lelouch DIM Minimee head sculpts. I am now done repainting my Kadaj, these photos are before I seal the work. I temporarily placed his lashes and eyes in, to see if I am near complete. I find that using eyes and lashes, and a wig during the process helps me find a good level of darkness for the brows and painted lower lashes. So, that's why I add those, without gluing the lashes in place, while I keep on repainting. Using acrylics only to do repaint, allows me to not worry about smudging or ruining anything, because acrylics once dried, you can only remove them with a rough force using a magic eraser. They are easy to wipe if you notice a mistake right away, or fix using more paint on top. Definitely my preferred method of repainting now, and probably until I die!

My lashes and brows are still a steaming hot pile of yuk, but I am very happy with him so far! I can't wait to put him all together on my Mano's body, for a few less sh1tty set of photos, once I seal the work. (:

More of my recently repainted, and modified DIM Minimee Crisis Core Sephiroth custom head sculpt. I took these with my newest phone, that takes crappier photos. They were all taken at the same time, but all are pretty much the same exact angle, as his wig wasn't cooperating and his eyes leave huge gaps if not positioned just right. It's hot like the dickens here, so I didn't want the extra struggle. I just took a few quick shots with this cell as well. The body is floppy, needs new elastic, so it was a real struggle. Most of these are carbon copies of each other. Not like, I usually don't take repetitive photos anyway. DX

I am particularly happy with these, regardless, because they don't have harsh shadows. The other phone exaggerates lighting/shadows for some reason. This one takes blurry, pixelated, off focus photos that are most of the time washed out and glowy in a weird way. I don't know if the lens is damaged (I am a klutz, but I haven't dropped or accidentally scratched any of my phones as of yet). Weird, but what can I do? I suck at taking photos already. I adjusted the curves in the first one to not look so washed out. It is a slightly different angle than the last one. But that yellowy-ness...sigh

I seriously need to fix his wig, it's driving me nuts. The bangs in particular, I don't know how they got so messy. The fiber is awful, I feel I mentioned that it is the same as my CL Rou's fiber. It tangles like nobodies' business, just because. It is staticky and is stiff. I used a fabric sheet with fabric softener, because I heard that would remove static from synthetic fiber wigs. It worked a bit, and kind of left it feeling semi-soft, for a tiny bit. T___T;;;

I might have to wash it with actual fabric softener, for real, and that's going to destroy the freaking bangs. Which took me an eternity to get to where they are. They are not even as tall as they need to be, considering how tall my Rou's are (and how tall CC Sephy's are!). Taking into consideration, Rou is less than half this dude's size. DX
