Of Other Worlds: WIP

Yay, now that I am done tweaking my blog, it's time to get back to business

The next figure on my table, and the last with my old compressor I must add (-SQUEAL!-

), is a character named Tachibana Ichika. I personally don't know the character but she is cute, and was on sale for about $25 so I figured why not? Looking at her though, I was inspired to do her a different color scheme (as is usual for me). All the feathers and bling...hmm...she shall be a Native American princess!

I cut off all the tabs, washed her, and started sanding and repairing some spots. Overall she's a pretty good cast; there are a few problem areas but it's nothing a little putty won't fix...

Managed to prime her on a day that wasn't scorching hot, and she's ready for paint! I masked off her outfit and started with her skin. Laid down the base tone, which is a little darker than usual, and then shaded it.

Next I painted her outfit. Since she is a princess, and a rather young one, I decided on a pale cream colored leather. After it dried, I shaded with some pastels.

Time for some hair! Painted it black (duh), but instead of using blue or purple highlights, I decided on copper.

I really like how it turned out, it ties it into the earth tones on her. I worked on her face next, her eyes are the usual brown. Here's a little preview of what I've done so far!

She's a fairly simple figure so she's going really quick! Now I need to paint all that hardware she's sporting, work on her base, and she shall be complete!
