Tryst, the lace is very hard to notice. The only way to spot it is to take your hands and make a tiny box with them and hold them up to the model just under the bewbs. After a few minutes the lace will come into focus, you need to use the same technique to find her eyes.
Very Valid points guys. After viewing several large models and reading up on them I learned that it is best to stay away from deep shadows and high highlights. Keeping this in mind I filtered over the highlite of the lace (as you guys suggested) to mellow it out. I used the same thinking on her booty Alexandra, if you go to harsh on the shadows it ruins the roundness.
So I went to my local hobby shop to try and find a base for her and by sheer luck they had exactly what I was wishing for. Seeing that tonight is my last night of painting before I leave for the Texas show tomorrow I had to work fast. Mounting this girl to the base is no small feat (I'm not entirely sure she is safely mounted either) because she is so top heavy. I drilled holes in the base then filled them with A+B putty and did the same to the legs of the chair and inserted a tiny pin. I then glued the legs to the wood and built up my carpet over the wood.
What color do you guys think for the carpet? I was thinking a light pink.
