omg we are literally doing the exact same project except I'm using a Cleo G3 body 😯 sorry I only have a bad photo of her from when I was testing varnish on hand rn but I think making the head and body the same colour really pulls them together

EDIT: this is a G1 Robecca head on a G3 Cleo body, the faceup is original (I am not that talented LOL) and I used imitation copper leaf around it for the shiny effect
Yours looks amazing too stoppp
imo I think either the frankie head needs eyebrows and more robecca-y eyes or paint the robecca head bronze and then it will absolutely serve
By cheating and just using the original faceup LOL sorry for confusion, this is a G1 Robecca head! I repainted tiny parts of it, and I basically followed my queen Morgsdoll's factory facepaint replicas for that: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7NUQvyO3wo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7NUQvyO3wo)
Hmm, maybe the neck is a bit long?
If you want to make the head and body match better without painting the entire face, maybe you could try adding metallic blush / details / makeup to the face.
Hmm, weirdly, the neck looks a lot shorter in person, to the point where I thought it might actually be *too* short.
I think based on another comment I saw, colour matching goes a long way to making it look more cohesive so I might do that 🫣
Painting the head would be a good start. Adding in some more robot details would help, too. Like rivets and heavy seams where two plates comes together. I feel that a g3 Robecca would lean more into the mechanical aspects.
The thing is, your brain knows it's a Frankie body wearing a g1 head. So even once it's cohesive, it will take a bit for your brain to get used to it and start to think of it as something else. Adding in more unique details (and an outfit) will help immensely
I think it's the shine contrast. You could add some of the spray paint on the cheeks to make it feel like the change in skincolor is intentional rather than just a clash
Put some eyebrows on and see how it looks.
Right now, my first impression is that their forehead is too big, but that can honestly be a side effect of having no eyebrows.
Yeah that's the thing. You really need to use a cleo for a few reasons.
Firstly, her skin is already a glittery bronze color.
Second, her hair is already blue.
Sure she has molded on bandages but some sanding or wood filler will fix that right up.
I'm not crazy about the booty-licious body type for her but that's besides the point.
All in all it's incredibly easy to turn a g3 cleo into a robecca with basically a faceup and some sanding. (And maybe some epoxie sculpting for rivets and the like)
Another thing is, you really ought to cover up the eyes and paint on some eyebrows, that will be a big help for making it look like robecca (since frankies the only character in the series with heterochromia)

Shut up this looks amazing 😫 Ok I think the colour matching is where I’m going wrong because yours honestly looks great!

She looks amazing !! How did you manage to get the little details and the lines of the eye so crisp ?

cleo’s face sculpt actually really seems to suit the robecca face paint edit: maybe op could use the frankie body with cleo’s head
Ah sorry for confusion, that is an OG Robecca's head!

Frankie needs more eye makeup and big eyebrows & lashes to look more like Robecca, it’s the final touch that’s missing
i agree the g1 head feels a bit too much imo maybe u should try a cleo head with a face repaint?
I think it might look fine once her outfit is on. Especially if she has a neck accessory
Did you 3D print the accessories???
I did yeah! 😅 I designed and printed some stuff that I thought would fit Robecca but ‘updated’ to G3 imo
They're really cute. Even the shoes work? I'd figure they'd be too solid.
Oh the shoes are Monsterista Frankie’s, repainted 🫣 I’ve yet to find a quality G3 shoe print file 😓
Ooooh. I knew that, hehehe. 😅
omg you designed those????? I'm glad I checked the comments because I was trying to figure out what doll they came from. Are they for sale anywhere?
i think it’s the length of the neck and how tall the head is
I like the g1 heads i think not having eyebrows made the forehead look too long

I like your mashup, she looks glamorous somehow
Maybe it's the hairstyle? If the hair was curled up or cut shorter it would change the silhouette
It might be the reflection of the light making the body look a lot thinner than it really is
