    Dodomeki(the Yokai with eyes on her arms)

    Dodomeki (どどめき)is a yōkai who is the ghost of a female pickpocket (some sources say money itself can turn into her). She appears as a woman talking with people over her past and suddenly pulls up her sleeves to show the eyes on her arms.Dodomeki may have been an earlier form of Hyaku-me(one hundred eyes).
    I sculpted her face over a resin head casting I got in a trade (most of the hair is from the resin head,I added a little more hair with the clay though).For her body I used a CTVT teen body,which I turned into a female body with the clay(I sculpted over the entire body) and I glued 5mm creatology wiggle eyes to her arms with E-6000 and sculpted on eyelids with the clay( one eye each also on her feet and bosom).I painted the entire figure with acrylic paints and sealed with Modpodge.I cut her Kimono from an Emce Keeper Robe and her Obi is a piece of white cloth I got from my wife that I dyed yellow with the Rit dye.

          I love those eyes. Gives the concept of eyes in the back of her head a whole new take. And yeah, she does look pretty scary!

              ^ I always remember my Mum saying she had eyes in the back of her head when I asked her how on earth she knew exactly what I was up to even when she wasn't looking when I was a kid.

                  Actually her body is not that scary looking(but I don't think we could show it here though).
