Eiji transforms into Sesshoumaru!

Recommended Posts

This is a repost from the old forums.  Some of these didn't get saved/moved over here so I'm redoing them so newer members can see them.

 

 

Ok, a little history before we get into the photos. :)

When I started collecting DD's almost 8 years ago, I never ever wanted or even thought about owning a male doll of any kind.  At the time, there weren't any anime styled ones around that I liked.  People kept asking me tho, "When will you add a guy to your family so your girls can have a companion?"  I always answered that "if"...... and that was a HUGE *IF*, I were to ever want a male doll, he would have to be the coolest, baddest and most amazing character I knew of.

That character was Sesshoumaru from the anime "Inuyasha."  That show was always one of my favorites and Sesshy was just THE BOMB. 😄  He was cool, stoic, awesome, cruel and just plain badass.  Unfortunately, no one makes a doll of him that I could purchase so I was safe knowing that I'd never have a male doll in the house.

A few years later I adopted a Smartdoll Eiji into the family.  Of course I caught hell from my friends who knew I had said NO MALE DOLLS in my group. 😉  But I let it slide because in the back of my head I knew that eventually, Eiji was going to become Sesshoumaru.  Here's how that happened.

Let's see some pics of his amazing self first tho! 

 

 

I went to my parents farm yesterday to take photos of him.  I wanted everything to be perfect for this reveal so I made sure to take my time and get some nice shots of him.

So here's how we got to this point.

I had to call in some favors, grease some palms and basically do whatever I could to make sure that this project was going to be as nice as it could possibly be.  If I was going to have a Sesshoumaru doll, he was going to be THE Sesshoumaru doll.  No shortcuts, no slacking, no settling.  Because of this I had to do a lot of waiting and a lot of hush hush stuff so that no one other than the people who helped me out knew what was going on.  I wanted to keep this a secret for as long as possible.  

Thankfully, I know some truly amazing artists that were more than happy to help me out and make this project a reality.

First up was the task of finding someone who could make his outfit and have it anime accurate.  I knew a few people who could possibly do this but it boiled down to finding someone who could not only make clothing but could also make armor and lots of detail.  When I told my friend Buff at Buffdolls.com about what I wanted to do, she was all for it.  She does some truly amazing work on her resin guys and makes so many cool weapons and armor parts that I knew Sesshoumaru would be in good hands.  So Eiji went to her place for 4 months to get his outfit made.

When he came home to me wearing his new outfit, I was floored with how nice it was.  It was basically a perfect anime representation.  Every detail was there.  The armor uses REAL leather and metal spikes.  She made all the patterns and details by hand.  You could tell someone who loved the show and the character made it.

Even the fur that covers his shoulder and drapes down his back is awesome.  It has a wire inside to make it posable.

The legs of the pants are filled with material so that they stay poofy and hold their shape.

38664637680_55850026a6_z.jpgDSC_1002 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

Here's some close ups of his face.  We'll hear more on that soon.

The swords are NOT perfect copies of his anime ones.  One of them is pretty darned close.... the smaller handled one.  It's a Volks sword.  The other larger one is a kit that you have to build.  It's not the correct handle color to match Tenseiga but it'll have to do for now.

In this shot you can see his bare foot.  I know he wears shoes of some type but I haven't quite figured out how to make them just yet.  I have some ideas so he will eventually get shoes to match the anime ones he wears. :)

After the sword pics we ventured out into the woods.

Now let's talk about that face of his. :)  I knew he had to be done *juuusssttt* right in order to pull off his anime self.  So who else would I have gotten to do this but Eblktty?  She just keeps getting better and better every time she does work for me.

25604317527_9250451fd1_z.jpgDSC_1025 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

She took quite a while to do this face up for me but that's because she also did his ears.  You can't have Sesshy without those little pointy demon ears now can you? 😉

25604313257_7bbce35998_z.jpgDSC_1026 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

The coloring had to be spot on and so did the markings on his face.  Of course, Ebl pulled it off easily.

25604308247_ba9c1005f6_z.jpgDSC_1027 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

She also had to get his mouth right so that his "I don't care/Go away/I'll kill you" look stayed intact.   :lol:  I think it's there. 😄

25604304157_793b7aef4e_z.jpgDSC_1028 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

Here's some more detail shots of his outfit.  I just can't say enough good things about it.

The wig is from Leekeworld.  I've had it for a long time now but I didn't really plan on using it for this.  But I put it on him and it worked so well that it's now his.

39764743494_021e003646_z.jpgDSC_1034 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

Now let's talk eyes.  No one makes these eyes so I had to have customs done.  The ones seen here are his normal versions.  They were made by Jadepixel and they are awesome.  She did a lot of work in making these things perfect.  She went thru many variations on sizing and coloring in order to get them just right.

40431727482_64a32e0c9c_z.jpgDSC_1035 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

I think she nailed it.  They even have a nice shine to them in certain light.

But wait..... I said those were his normal versions right?  You know what that means. 😄

Oh yes.......

I can't have a Sesshoumaru and NOT have him have his demon eyes!

39764738094_14e9d5ee07_z.jpgDSC_1036 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

Jadepixel made these too and they rock!

They are blood red and the centers are blue with white accents.  They match up to the anime perfectly.

39579154145_0686b5375c_z.jpgDSC_1037 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

He does NOT look happy now.

39764732854_1bc89b283c_z.jpgDSC_1038 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

He drew Tenseiga.......... I think I should leave now.

Hmm, I'm not dead yet........

38664541970_d318af84fc_z.jpgDSC_1043 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

Ah, it seems I wasn't worth killing.  I don't know if that's good or bad tho. 😉

But there he is in all his glory!

This literally took YEARS to come together but because of the people who helped me out, it was all worth the wait.  Again, I want to thank them for everything they did.

Without you guys, I'd never have my perfect Sesshoumaru!   <3   <3   <3


PS.  Don't worry, I still have more plans for him.  Later this year he WILL be getting his little companion Rin in MDD form. 😉  He will also eventually get a nice dragons claw for his left arm.  My boy will be THE best Sesshoumaru out there!

PPS.  I've never been this giddy over a male doll before.  Seriously, I can't stop fangirling over him.   :evil:

Sadly no.  I've been waffling on getting a little sidekick but there are still plans for Rin!  And I also got some arm frame parts so the dragon claw part can be made.  I just need to find someone who is good with clay and can sculpt and paint.  😉

Thank you very much!  I definitely like my Sesshy.
