Progress on Ocula the eye head! This is the 1st successful cast I’ve made of her head. The body is Impldoll.

I can’t wait to finish the iris painting and dome her!

Official preorders will start December 1st, I’m working on getting a site up and going. Any advice on where is good to list her or what service to use?

BJD - Eye tests I needed to test out different eye sizes with different head models from Granado. I got eyes from Granado and from Alice's Collection. Those from the latter have a very prominent bump. This bump give this awesome effect of your doll's gaze following you when you move, BUT it is also there reason for the gap between it and the corner of the eyes. The ExtraS iris glass eyes from Granado are best to fit with Granado's heads (thank you capt obvious) as the bump is minimal and most eye sockets are realistic on male heads. Then again, I have not tried other models from other companies, so I could be wrong. This being said, you can't be wrong by matching a Granado head with their ExtraS iris glass eyes. The next serie of eyes are from Alice's Collection. As said earlier, their bump is prominent and makes it more difficult to fit since the inside of the eye surface is flat. In my opinion, the 10 mm ones gives the best iris size effect, but on some heads you can see a gap. The 12 mm eyes have the same bump height as the 10 mm, so they technically fit better due to their size, but the iris takes most of the eye space. Very good when you want your character to look young or innocent. The gap is practically invisible unless you look directly inside the eye's corners.

The 14 mm eyes leaves wider gaps than the 12 mm mostly because their bump is protruding a lot more. Also, they make it feel like the pupil is the Iris, and the Iris takes the place of the white of the eyes. Again, the gap is caused by the bump going against the flat inside of the eyes.
