Looking for Asian Mesh Head

[Goldenstar Sands]

 

 

I've been thinking for awhile now that it's time to upgrade to a mesh head. However I have been struggling to find a decent one for an asian woman. Does anyone know of any good ones out there?

 

This is how my current avatar looks. Mian reason I'm wanting to update is due to the harsh lines on the face. (wearing a face light in this pic)

The thing about mesh heads is that honestly most made these days can be modified to some extent, and it’s really the skin that makes the difference. Yes, it’s highly likely that skin you’re using now did not come with a mesh head equivalent. 

That being said, Catwa and Akeruka both have Asian-inspired heads. I can’t really say much about the others because I haven’t been to those lately. 

It might be easier to find a demo skin FIRST- this way you can purchase the demo matching head and go from there once you find a look you are happy with. 

For skins, I would suggest looking at Reon Hausen, Mudskin, Sessions, itGirls, and Pumec.

LAQ has an Asian-inspired head & skin.  ItGirls has some lovely skins for the classic Genus head.

LAQ has an okay one (looks like Asian-mixed-race), so does Catwa (also Asian-mixed). I'm currently using Genus (Classic face) which can be made to look authentically Chinese pretty well (because it's not just the eyes, but the entire head) - I haven't tried Japanese or Korean on it, though - the *BEST* and most accurate Asian heads are at the Genesis Lab store, and the ironic thing is that you can choose any of the v3 Bento heads, the Asian look comes from the skin pack you get (their skins actually shape the head in 3D, not just textures, but depth as well) - and there are two excellent ones: one is Japanese/Korean looking (I forget the actual name of it) and the Fei skin is absolutely the most accurate Chinese face I've seen in all my time in SL up to the moment I write this. Nothing else even comes close. (I'll plop one of my Flickr pictures to who you - at the bottom)

I recommend you grab the demo of all the heads and the demo of the Asian faces you're interested in. Then try those demo skins on each demo head because each combination creates a unique look (it's actually amazing they way they work). Good luck!

The Genesis "Fei" skin on ... (er, I forget wich head):

EDIT to add: This is the other Asian skin on a different Genesis head to create a Japanese look:

I love the [AK] Kumiko head that I have for my alt. IIRC it was a group gift. 


That group gift seems to have expired, but they Jun and Chun heads look pretty good too.

A little update:
Jun and Chun are "Deluxe" heads by [AK] and each cost L$5,000, which in my case is not an amount that I could easily cough up.
The Kumiko head, which I have on my alt (and which does NOT seem to have a group gift  ) has been dramatically discounted and although not available in the [AK] in-world store, it can still be found on the MP for L$800
The demo for the Kumiko head can be found at https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/AK-Kumiko-Bento-Head-Vers-26-DEMO/12939237

Note that [AK] will start offering some of the Deluxe heads for L$500 to group members in the next week. Membership is 150, and there are frequent valuable gifts (like heads), so you may want to consider popping by soon.
