Crystal Brush count-down - JRN's project

[Empchild]

I'm guessing this will be the Sci-Fi single but that is a shot in the dark. If your afraid too compete against people then never compete .

 

[JRN]

It will be entered in the fantasy/steampunk monster category.

I just noticed, as it were...and have to ask. On the original fig...are those her LIPS? Or did someone glue a pink banana to the poor womans mouth?

 

[Chrome]

I believe she's got a piece of cloth wrapped around her head over the mouth.

The only really weak part of the orginal sculpt. Mind you it looks quite cool in the artwork, but I agree that it didn't translate too well into the 40mm sculpt.

Today's update:

 

[A Luna]

Alright, that already is fantastic.

Great work on the tutu! Must've been a grueling job.

Btw, am I the only one bothered by the armpit muscles? Well, you could give it an excuse of stylization, but forgoing the scientific explanation, I'll just show you how the armpit muscles are supposed to go (warning, NSFW):

Just a minor gripe.

Looking forward to seeing the end result!

This is looking good, I really like the concept, model's equally impressive so far, I'm looking forward to the paint!

Cheers, B.

Just forgot a few extra pics yesterday:

Reveals a little of the sculpting process...

Wow this is coming along nicely. Fantastic sculpting work!!

Today's update: Playing cards tucked into the belt.

I find the cards and scrolls quite decorative. Somehow they add age and character to a mini I think.
Just like on another femme militant paintjob I did back in 2007:

Wonderful looking work there. Can't wait to see it when the sculpting is finished and the painting begins

Picture of the hair added today. Damn - such a model is a long-time project!

Should be showing the finished conversion tomorrow...

 

[Garshnak]

I see you gave her a hairstyle different from the concept? In the concept it kinda looked like a mane, but this is more feminine. What's the neck made of (representatively), wiring?

The pose is working surprisingly well, really dynamic!

 

[JRN]

The change to the hair comes with the move from 2d to 3d. Seen from the back it was hard (well, it just didn't work) to make it look decent with the mane.

The neck is made of little cables and wires. Some cyborg-hinting detail that should tell you wnat is to come when the model is turned and viewed from the other side...

 

[TrystanGST]

Excellent stuff.

Painting pics should begin to appear from tomorrow!
