Body blushing artist(s):

Modifications artist(s):

armeleia

Date of acquisition:

Body - 2006? Head - 2025

Provenance:

Body direct from LUTS, head from Dollzone via Denverdoll

Reason for choice:

I'm building a Weird Little Guy collection and this head is perfect. I loved him from the second I saw his promo photos

Best Points:

The head is really beautifully sculpted and the tendrils are slightly posable so you can make them sit nicely. I am really happy I opted for the "glowing" resin, which is clear with a colorshift shimmer pigment in it. In some lights it glimmers gold and in others it's green, and sometimes it looks pinkish.

Worst Points:

I really don't like the "attachment" method for the head. There is a cap that you use in place of the S hook, and then the head just sits on top of the neck. The shape of the cap matches up with the inside of the head and it is reasonably secure, but it can fall off - I knocked his head off setting him up to take this picture!

He is great. I was going to put him on a human colored body, but decided it didn't suit at all so I dyed an old LUTS body gray-blue with a blend of RIT Dyemore colors. I also airbrushed him with some lighter blue-green highlights in places, some metallic blue-black in others, and then I airbrushed the whole body with a fine layer of blue-pink iridescent shimmer. He is lovely, far more than pictures show.

Eyes:

Favourite colours:

blue, white, silver

Fashion style(s):

fabulous

Name story:

He is an unserious doll and I wanted an unserious name for him

Character age:

ageless

Character gender:

none - his body is just a chariot for his glorious head to ride about. His pronoun is he/him for convenience because his body is shaped like a classic kind of he-him Greek statue. He is statuesque, he is classical!

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.

Kevin is a denizen of the deep, a stinging, brilliant mastermind who is brimming with curiosity about the world. While he is fascinated by humans, he is very turned off by them lately because they are very mean to each other and very damaging to the environment. He is politically liberal and thinks everyone should take care of each other, and he can give you thousands of reasons why, drawn from both nature and thousands of years of human writings and oral storytelling. He is good friends with Rot, the spirit of decay.

He considers himself extremely handsome.
