Definitely not ready to set her face pattern yet. So, she has something of a speckly Bekko look right now. Nonetheless, I am pleased with the development of the shiroji. Still on the thin side, but starting to gain a bit of weight.
Mike, it looks really nice. The shiro is bright and the sumi looks thick. Once the head pattern sets you will have a stunning pattern.
