I took all the photos you see in a variety of natural lighting conditions to show how the baby's complexion changes in different light intensities of the day (just like real babies). I don't normally use a camera flash, so the natural light changes the intensity of his skintone colors as the sun goes in and out of the clouds.
This is why some pictures look''brighter or more brilliant'' than others. Sometimes refreshing your page will help with the completion of the download of the pictures. This darling baby boy started out as the NEWEST Prototype portrait sculpt from Ping Lau, named''Tori''.
I have totally fallen in love with this little one and have found it hard to let him go! Since Tori is part of a limited edition Prototype series of 5, he comes with a special numbered COA (Certificate of Authenticity) that will add to the value and will be mailed to the winner straight from the producer, City of Reborn Angels. He is the perfect 3 month baby size at 22 inches long and able to fit nicely in any 0-3 month or 3-6 month size outfit depending on brand. He is a pure joy to shop for, dress and pose as you can see in these photos! What a handsome little man! Alex is considered''3 month baby size'' at approximately 22 inches in length, and he has FULL vinyl arms (non-disc jointed at shoulder) and FULL vinyl legs (non-disc jointed at hip). He has a doe suede body that is flesh color with cinched bottom, so you know it is high quality design that will last and be proportionate to his head and limbs. The Genesis heat-set painting is not overdone so as to remain lifelike as possible for a healthy baby glow. I have given him a more''older baby''look with a sunkissed, peaches and cream skintone and only slight mottling on limbs. The vinyl is smooth to the touch and is not rough as I don't use a harsh varnish, but I do use a thin layer of Genesis thinning gel to cut down on shine and seal it. This is much less rough to the touch and doesn't mute his coloring/blushing when cured.. The best of both worlds, in my opinion! Each layer of Genesis paint is applied in such a way to give the skintone depth and realism. There is faint bluish undertones throughout in all the appropriate places.This is to mimic areas of thinner skin and veins, and they lie just below the skin surface so they look blended... Not simply''drawn on'' and do not overpower the baby's complexion.
I have micro-rooted Alex's head with silky-soft, mix of pale blonde and sandy brown fine yearling mohair mixed ever so slightly with medium brown accents to accentuate the blonde and add some variety to his hair color especially around the hairline. Quality in both feel and look and is very fine and straight with no kink and only a slight wave for cowlick styling. This very subtle mix of colors I rooted is meant to mimic growing little ones who still have their baby soft, straight and fine hair on top and and back in a classic baby hairline complete with swirled crown. The scalp was painted with gentle strokes to give it extra depth of color and realistic appearance of''peach fuzz'' on the hairline.
Excellent, quality hair is a top priority in the creation of all my reborns and is one of the most important aspects of a reborn baby both in terms of realism and future value. I spare no expense in getting the best mohair on the market to use on my reborns. It is secured with adhesive under the scalp and is easy to maintain with GENTLE damp combing and left to dry naturally for the glossy, non-frizzy look you see in the photos. I have given him some high quality, polyglass skyblue eyes and framed them neatly with hand-applied and sealed secure lashes to match his hair color.The eyebrows are painted wispy and fine and do not overpower the baby's face. The nostrils shaded with Genesis paints for depth and realism as they are deep enough to avoid drilling the delicate vinyl. The baby's lips and ultra realistic tongue were painted in differing colors of pink and mauve and glossed to protect the paint and give it a moist look. He does have a magnet in his mouth to accommodate his pacifier. This can be removed upon request.
Each of the baby's tiny nail beds have been given realistic touches and glossing so they look like they've just been clipped. His limbs have been weighted with ultrafine glass beads and premium polyfil. I put some high quality glass bead and polyfil in his cloth body area with more concentrated weight in his bottom to balance the weight and a more realistic feel when held or cradled in your arms just like a real baby.
The baby's head is weighted to simulate an older baby with a little more neck control but will need some support like a real baby would. There is no sand used so this baby is able to travel anywhere overseas from the USA. Alex will come home with all of the adorable, brand name clothing seen in these photos!Gymboree/ Carter's brands mix and match outfits plus baby blue Petit Ami boutique outfit for spring. Magnetic Paci included if desired! I can remove these magnets if necessary as they can harm those with pace-makers. All other blankets, baby grooming, hospital equipment and seating props, etc you see in the photos are only photo props and will not be included.
This darling baby will be an excellent addition to any reborn collection with a signed and number certificate of authenticity to add to the value of this sculpt. He will arrive in timely manner if paid for promptly as laid out below in the''terms and conditions'' and would be a unique gift! Does this baby remind you of a someone you've seen or had in your life? If so, don't this little cutie get away as there will. Be another from my nursery just like him as he is a PROTOTYPE reborn.
I have been unable to do custom orders due to increased demand on other endeavors. He is not made for small children as this is an adult collector quality reborn, older children would be fine, however. Each reborn is unique expression of the artist and cannot be repeated as an exact copy in regards to other's reborning work or even my own.... They are that unique in that each one is different in it's own way. I back my work 100% and use only the finest materials to make this baby.
I have described this baby to the best of my ability and have provided many detailed and close up pictures for you to get a portrayal of him as accurate as possible over the internet.
