Keiko, a WM145 with head 85 has just arrived

Thanks Vicvic, Keiko is wearing well after being with me for several years but I'd like to get her a newer bod at some point with articulated fingers and gel etc but I wouldn't want to change her look too much.

It's beginning to look a lot like spring, at last! Keiko and Kasumi my two gorgeous WM 85's

Keiko has borrowed Jade's new negligee and she looks suitably lush in it.....

Keiko is a very touching doll. There's a sadness in her eyes...

Thanks, yes indeed, in many pics Keiko can look a little melancholy and I have tried to resist using FaceApp to alter her expression. Head 85 actually does look quite expressive anyway and I've found a variety of things can hint at different looks so a tilt of the head or change of eye position, even different hair and lighting can all give the impression of a slightly different emotion...

'Arthur, what are you talking about? You don't need to tilt my head or adjust the lights to know how I'm feeling, just look into my eyes'!

Trawling through past pic folders I'm still finding forgotten stuff, these of Keiko are from 2019, not the best quality as I used an older camera and hadn't invested in some decent lighting, still by this time I was really beginning to enjoy myself!

Few more Keiko pics from 2020 that I've dusted off and tried to make a bit sharper as they were taken with an older camera, hence are a bit grainy.

'Arthur, while you seem to be focussed on me again, rather than dig up all these old pics why don't you just take some new ones? I'd like to pose for you, just find me something nice to wear'!

Bravo for all these photos, always with Keiko's touching look. I particularly like the one of SuperWoman!

Thanks! Yes she needs to do some more cosplay soon I think!

Well if I ever needed a reminder of the importance of investing in some decent lighting I've just had it while trawling through some of Keiko's old pic folders. Back in 2020 I was using some half decent spots that could accommodate coloured filters but the light was still at the high end of the colour temperature range and so I'd often get disappointing results where light tan tpe tended to look greyish in tone. The following year I got a couple of Neewer Bi-Colour LED panels and good lord you can see the difference when comparing these first few pics to the last one, all with the same Nikon D3100, although last year I switched to a D3300.

Keiko looking really lovely no matter what the lighting is like.

Thanks djcdoll, hard to believe that she's one of my oldest gals, she has held up so well over the years, especially as she's been quite busy! Her joints remain nice and tight so she will still try and freestand if I let her! and of course her light weight means she gets to venture outside more than most.
