I was going to make this a contest, but decided that since it's just for fun and we likely won't be posting to galleries I would just make this an open WIP thread anyone can join and post to. The basic concept is to have a little fun painting minis with our wrong hands. We are all so good at...

So with little Harley done the big bust of Harley is going to be mainly AB work. I want to push my skills a bit and this weird bust looks like a good opportunity. I need some advice on masking her face. Would it be easier to finish her skin and mask that as it is recessed before working on her...
