Where did you acquire this. One note: you’ve made her look more like Scarlet than the original anime character. Not a criticism, just an observation. I’m a long time fan of GITS from the manga to anime.

The head is already available in the market. The rest of the costume aren't out yet.
To have the anime version head, a custom job will be needed. Not having that yet, so SJ will have to suffice.
The guns i tried to replicate those i saw from anime or movie.
The long boots can be purchased. The anime version is actually long boots with a flat sole. Make sense for Major to run and fight. But the high heels version is the best white long boots i can come up with. Good for pose too.
The arm guard, i couldn't find white hand gloved hands, those with fingers holes, if you are too paying attention to the details from the anime. So i took a pair of thin socks and cut the end to put on the arms.
The sunglasses i got it from another anime character, 1:6 figure. She's Motoko younger self. I will post this figure if got request.
I don't quite like the movie version where the character has to wear the tight skin suit. I understand they are trying to make a PG movie, but the anime version is what got my attention. I even think of drawing some digital lines on her body to make it more true to the anime, but i am no artist, and i researched even with pencil, the marks would stay on.

This is also the challenge I faced when deciding to go for a full scale version of Motoko, which way to go...on the one hand I loved the muscularity of the cyborg on the manga anime, and I also liked both th scarjo and traditional heads.

AS a compromise, I decided that I would keep the body buff, and get both heads, so just deciding on the best silkicone SCar jo head and the best tpe that captures the anime face as well, as two heads is better than one, and allows both versions to be desirable. and attainable.

By the way nearly forgot to say great work Brassco :thumbs_up:

Do you take pictures of cum tributes on your doll? (if you are a guy)
on which doll? this one? I would have to clean up every time i try to do it.

What material is best for this kind of shot?

<This is also the issue I had as well so I was looking two versions of my own preference>

great work on the rendition of this character! However, in the spirit of re-create, i got a feeling you might get more disapproval then approval. Even for cosplay, the point is to recreate the look from the anime. You got what i mean?

<and then a fusion of both....as this work up render>

Where you find this face? you created yourself?

Allow me to share my views on the 1995 vs 2004 version.

The 1995 version is more colder on the look. I noticed her eyes are almost staring into space most of the time. She barely got any smile. Very robotic, soulless. The 2004 version face is cuter, looks more anime, in fact.

I would be thrilled if you could make the best of these 2 version into one that embodied both.

Actually, the more i look at the final picture, the more i find the qualities that all versions embodied. The white colored eyes with small pupil(hence the soulless, cold look), the sharpen face (2004), and the human-version look.
But, again, we strive to recreate the exact look from any version. A lot of cosplayers has done shots, so yours, even a 1/6 version, would look like those cosplayers pictorial.

<Is she not a Phicen or TBleague doll????>

TBleague PLLB2017-S21B (large bust size, suntan). TBleague is a product of phicen dolls.

Yep...thats one of mine. It was based of a deviation using blender version 2.79 from a proposed CGI movie version of GITS thst never eventuated :(

I grabbed the source file, reworked it and it went mini viral in the GITS community, so I have lost any IP on the image.

I agree the original '95 GITS was a lot more cyborg in rendition, but the 2004 version attempted to more humanise the Motoko image to appeal more to the masses, hence the realer than real rework of my image to capture all aspects. Especially in her eyes, and as you noted...the irises :thumbs_up:

I also added small blemishes, so that she does not appear too perfect, and added small real human features such as small lessions, freckles and skin tone variances, plus light element shading and shadow effects to add to the realism.

Also, thanks for the confirmation ...feel free to post a link to where you got her for the mini doll community as no doubt, they would love to add her to the collection.

Still under review, as this would cost a lot for a one off buy option, so I would need a syndicate buy or expressions of interest with the potential manufacturer with confirmed pre orders, to make it affordable...unless I can win the next new head design contest, but it is hard to beat out the vpn multi voters :roll: unfortunately.
