[Updated March 1] SAO Kirito- Male DD Project

if my Silica was finished she would be all over Kirito by now, but sadly she isn't. but great job!

Wowww he looks amazing and very dreamy

Your first pics is just too awesome. Cannot take it. He's indded a charmer!~

Update: January 17, 2013

Still waiting for a few pieces, Sword and outfit. The good news is my tailor started on the outfit today and is currently in the making. I think she was on Christmas break. I will update as soon as I get progress shots. Here is a clear look at his faceup.

 

I tried to make his liner as close to the anime as I can. Kirito has a few lashes in the anime. I might fix the outer liner by bring it lower. I am just scared it will make him look more girly, he is using a Lily head after all . In terms of blush, I didn't use too much, just enough to make him look more alive. My post processing completely wipes it out sometimes, but that is okay. I might get him some new eyes, but I will figure that out later.

 

My dolly closet is full of boy clothes now. He finally got his boxers. Maybe I should do a boxer photoshoot with him (Just kidding Kirito )

 

Kirito:

*Thank god his sword is not done yet.

His new face-up looks awesome, I'm loving the progress as usual

Wo amazing! I really love that he does look like a guy rather a girl in boys clothing

I am super excited to see how the outfit turns out.

Oh super cool! Maybe you shoud tried smaller sized eyes? They're pretty feminine in this was..

Great job, anyway! I really like how it is turning out!

Oh my! I want a male DD! Waaaa!!!! If Mari wasn't Kaylus' girlfriend I will so send her to you. Bad. Bad. Bad. Kirito is on a 55cm body right?

juu-yuki, your boy looks amazing! I would love a male DD myself, got to start saving up for a body.

I think lowering the liner would surely make him look more feminine, something you don't want. I struggled with the same issues with Tamayuki, and the anime boy eyes are very straight and angular (although this isn't true for Tama.) Blushing boys is hard because the fine line between enough to make them not look like a barely painted head but also not wanting him to look like he got into his sister's blush. Using more orange/tan based tones makes a distinct difference even if the blush is light, but having a tiny bit of the pink as an undertone keeps it looking more realistic. You probably know all of this already. I love doing the blushing but my painting skills are barely adequate. I agree that the post processing can be really tricky, but natural light really photographs better so the blushing will still show in the final image. I love Photoshop's camera raw feature. For me it makes the lighting and color adjustments a lot more intuitive than shuffling all through the PS menus.

 

I have to say that your boy looks amazing. I'd second the suggestion of shrinking the eye size down one to see if that helps make him less feminine before altering the paint. Eyeballs are easier to swap if you don't like them.

OUTFIT DONE~

 

Yaaaay it looks really nice and well done! Can't wait to see him all together

omg he is so handsome!! I am in love You are doing a marvelous job!! I can't wait to see the outfit on him it will look fantastic!

His body is amazing. Call me dumb but I don't see anywhere you mention what body it is? Did you mod a DD body or...?

SWORD IS HERE!!!!! It looks super badass

It will take a lot of work before I can get it looking like Kirito's sword in the anime. Slowly but surely. Now, I have to run and get black paint.

 

Sword project plan

- Cleaning and sanding

- Primer

- Black layer

- Silver layer

- Hand painting details

- Sealing

 

I hope I can get this done before March with all the school work I have. March or not, Elucidator project START!

 

My two knights! Here is a shot to see how big the sword actually is with Kirito holding it. It's very light and about as tall as Lily's Caliburn. This is also a comparison show between Lily and Kirito. They are both using a Saber Lily mold but with different faceups. It's very interesting seeing them beside each other. Both Lily and Kirito are on DD3 bodies and comes up to about the same height. Kirito looks taller here because he is wearing shoes and on a stand.

 

I will put Asuna's update here too: All payment have cleared and I am expecting her home next week or early the week after. Her wig is here in Canada and is with customs. I have also picked out some eyes for her but those won't arrive until late Fab. AHH I AM SO EXCITED! My SAO Project is coming along to well.

Stop posting these pictures! They are making me so jealous... Superb job.

His face is really like the real Kirito.

 

I can't wait to see him wearing his outfit

Go for the new hands?? Lol

Thanks everyone. Glad you all like how Kirito turned out. I am looking at getting him bigger hands from Volks Int. Sadly, there is a wig that I want that is out of stock, so the hands will have to wait.

That sword looks great! 3D printing is so cool; I really need to stop procrastinating and model some goodies for Agatha. Did you use Shapeways, or some other service?

Gah!!!! I need a blood transfusion. Like Sister Kyoya wrote, stop posting pics I am so jealous!!!! LOL.Seriously though, awesome job.

Wow. So jealous!~

Update: February 5, 2013

I came home from school today and found this lonely little envelope in my room. I wonder what is inside

 

EHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!?

Oh wow, did this arrive quick. I wasn't really expecting it until later this week or early next week.

 

Kirito Kun, where are you? Lets play dressup

 

 

Hey there gorgeous

Lets looks at some of the details.

 

I LOVE the metal detailing. Originally, I was planning on making them myself. YAY! Now I don't need to bother with it. Lucky!

 

The strap that is around him can be removed. I use it hold up his scabbard so he can carry his sword on his back.

 

Outfit comes with a belt. Very well done, the ends are clean and finished nicely.

I do have a slight problem with the pants it comes with though. They are too loose on him. The pair that he is wearing in the photos are from his suit set, which were tailored to fit him. XD

 

How the back looks.

 

 

The strap around his waist is attached to the coat so they can't be removed. But they can bend with the coat. The photo above is with the coat open.

 

Love the V cut at the bottom of the coat.

 

Kirito, lets show them what the inside looks like.

 

It's so adorable! All the details are there, down to the little drawstring ends. LOVE IT!

The outfit also came with gloves and the metal guards for the shoes. He probably won't be wearing the gloves because they look like they will stain instantly on contact.

 

That is it for today. My SAO Kirito project is almost complete, I just need to finish painting Elucidator. ALMOST THERE!!!~

Oh jeez, he's handsome! SO HANDSOME! *faints* .... I can't... handle such a gorgeous Kirito-kun~
