═✰WARNINGS BEFORE YOU BUY✰═
► THIS HEAD USES TWO DIFFERENT UV MAPS. Be aware which you are using and which one your textures are for!
► HEAD DOES NOT COME WITH ANY BODY SKINS. (I wear TSG&Pink Fuel's vampy tone body skins with mine.)
► Not all Omega textures will be flawless. Please try the demo!
► THIS HEAD IS MADE FOR MODDERS. While it has a HUD to help make customization easier, you may need some basic modding skills to be able to work with this head fully and make it look exactly how you'd like. This head is made to have as many openings for customization as possible!
► This head can be adjusted with shape sliders and will work with other bento face animations when available.
**If you are using the Kuroo body, please try the demo and use the Female Neck options in both the head and body to make sure you are satisfied with the fit at the neck before purchasing. This head was made to match the standard linden neck sizing, which fits most bodies on the market.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
At last, my sweet fall child of the Bento BJD Series, James is ready to share with the world! He is:
► Fitted to System Eyes, or can be worn with any unrigged eyes.
► Improved Omega UV maps.
► Improved rigging for better slider response.
► A shout out to all you guys and strong ladies out there.
► A three-layered MODIFIABLE head with:
- A fully customizable skin layer!
- Human teeth and ears!
- Six makeup layer sections!
- Six tattoo layer sections!
He will fit to most bodies, male or female.
► The male neck will fit bodies fitted to the male linden body (ex. Belleza Jake, Signature, Slink male).
► The female neck will fit bodies fitted to the female linden body (ex. Maitreya, Belleza females, Slink females).
► For everything else (Such as Avatar 2.0 or Kemono), there is the universal neck!
BJD 3/4 SKIN appliers work on this head to an extent; use the universal neck for best results on older textures (Old Eyebrows, Eyelashes, Ears, and Mouth textures are not compatible)!
✰NEW✰ Omega Eyelash support on the Omega UV versions of the head!

Also included, a full facial AO that plays a subtle, lifelike animation! Animation selections will continue playing even when the Expression HUD is detached.
✰NEW✰ Default texture HUD
Not only will this restore the default textures of the head, but now there are four basic skin options to choose from! (Eyeliner/Natural, Brows/No brows). Also includes basic tintable eyeliner, blush, and lipstick for both BJD UV and OmegaUV. It also comes with a hair base for the BJD UV.
Updates will be for bug and compatibility fixes.

SHAPES AFFECT THIS HEAD ** Please, please wear the shape and alpha that comes with this head, and modify it to your liking. Linden hair affects brow shape. The alpha that comes with this head will fix an eyelash glitch and keep any LL bits of head/neck from poking through.
Be cautious when editing your shape: taking shape sliders to the extreme will likely cause animations to clip.

Amazing
Fantastic head I bought it because I need the Reven hair to fit perfectly it should be information that the head is also bom so I suppose more people would buy it easily. Thank you creator for the amazing head and hair from the store ♥
High quality, versatile
I got an extreme amount of mileage out of this head from 2018 when I purchased it to now, I still use it. Thank you for this amazing line of heads!
Unique head, new favorite!
An great blend of realistic and cartoony, perfect for fantasy characters! It could use an official BOM update though- I have easily converted mine to BOM since it is modifiable (unlike more expensive mesh heads out there) but newer people may not know how! Also, since it's modifiable, you can unlink any part that you don't use (like the layers, since I use BOM) to reduce lag/complexity!
best human head!
I got all these heads when they first came out. This, by far, is one of the best human heads on the market. It has a nice, youthful shape, the neck options allow it to be worn with any standard mesh or classic av. The tattoo and secondary tattoo layers allow for multiple options; make up, tattoos, scars... whatever strikes your fancy.
I love that it's a mix of realistic and anime, meaning if you've got a good enough skin (which, it IS Omega friendly,) you can pass as a normal human 90% of the time. (unless the admin of said RP group is super picky, you'll probably get a pass!)
Coupled with the basic AO it comes with, (talk, wink, blink, emotes, etc) and it's own set of UVs, (in case you want to MAKE your own, and not use Omega,) tons of customization options (including top of head hiding for more hairs and hats,) far better script time and usage than SOME OTHER heads, not to mention the SMALLER PRICE TAG, it is an absolute crime this, and by proxy the other bento heads, aren't more popular.
The demos to these heads suck. Period. So just buy this. Catwa and all the other bento heads are overpriced, far-to-high in tris count and thereby LAGGY money sinks compared to this non-laggy, well crafted and scripted fantastically designed heads.
Most Beautiful Male Bento Mesh Head in SL
I have tried all the bento mesh heads in SL and despaired.... That is until the Raven Bell James head came out. It's like the heavens open wide and angels sang "Hallelujah!" Excellent style, well made, versatile, and affordable. I use a shape that tones down its more anime look and use the Omega UVmap version with regular skins for a more bishounen/biseinen style. Bonus Tip1: The Happy Dispatch bento animation hud works fantastic with this head. Bonus Tip 2: This head can switch between a wide variety of bodies. Fantastic! I few I have tried are: Niramyth Aesthetic, Belleza Jake, Slink Male, & Maitreya with the V-tech chest. Looking forward to more excellent RavenBell releases in the future. Kudos. Bonus Top 3: Omega skins that work great on it are Soul, Fallen Gods, Plastic, and any skin that uses the default UVmaps (instead of ones tailored to a specific brand name mesh head).
This head is the best
This head is excellent. If you don't buy it then you're missing out. Real talk.
