Chibimoon is proving to be quite the challenge due to her casting. Remember how I stated in my previous post that she wasn't the best in the world? Yeah...about that...
O_____O;
All that red stuff you see is putty...That's right. P-U-T-T-Y.
Seriously...WTF happened in this this workshop?
Puttying isn't something I mind too much, but this amount of flaws and crap is just unreal. I could rant on and on about this, but I'll spare you.Anyways, I did an initial coat of primer to check for flaws and such I missed after round numero uno of prepwork. Turns out I missed quite a bit.
Repaired some more seams and areas where the putty didn't stick in the guidelines.
Fixed a small gap between her torso and skirt.
Seriously, it looked like someone friggin' chewed on her bangs o_O;
I went ahead and ground out her eyes as well, they were bugging me. I should have done that in the first place but oh well. I sculpted some side curls to go near her ears like in all of the manga references. I have to say, they turned out rather cute 
!

SQUEE!
And after one more round of primer, she is ready to paint!
WOOT!
Started with some clear parts first. I mixed up a bit of Future Floor Wax and Pearl-Ex powder in Pink Gold. Here's the results on her back bow tails!
Oooo shiiiinyyyy @_@
As you can see, it is pink at some angles, and gold in others. But what is really cool is that the clear parts are still clear as well. I LOVE THIS STUFF 
!
Next is the base skintone, which is on the pale side.

Looks like me in the winter...
Then I added some shading.

Time for Chibimoon to get her hair did!
I laid a pale pink base coat, followed by some shading in a slightly darker pink. After that I shaded the deepest areas with pastels, and highlighted with a pearl pink.
MORE SHININESS!
Looks odd as is, but once I seal it with a matte sealer, it will cut the metallic look down a bit. In fact, you may not see it at all unless the light hits it just right. And with that, hair and skin are complete!
She looks a tad creepy...
So now you have been caught up to where I am currently. Next up on the to-do list is her outfit, accessories, and face!
Oh, and her base. Which shall be interesting. I won't say exactly what I have in mind yet, but I will tell you it involves this stuff...
-insert mad scientist cackle-
Next post coming soon!
