But MUCH better than the first attempt - I know heads can be a pain
I daren\'t even ATTEMPT a FEMALE head yet.
The eyes in particular look good IMO, the worst part, as mentioned, is still the nose.
Not sure if it\'s the angle of the photo too, but it doesn\'t look quite straight?
hahaha, that\'s a funny comparation lol might be true though
however, why I think the nose isn\'t quite right is because it\'s too broad between the nose (as freakinacage said) I have started working on that.
and also that the upper lip of the mouth is too far down, I have started working on that aswell
what do you think? you think I have a point?
however... I have started working on the display base aswell, I have some really cool ideas for it
but more about that later ^^anyhow, I\'m glad you like it ^^

This is correct, yes. It\'s a common mistake to place the mouth right between the chin and the nose while on most people it is situated much closer to the nose, about 2/3 up the distance between chin and nostrils.
But I have to agree, this is a big improvement over the first attempt.

You should start seeing about getting these cast.
Hasslefree do the White Metal range which puts unknown sculptors on the map. They would buy the green off you then sell it. You would only get the purchase price, but its money in your pocket and a chance to see your models on the market.
The only thing that may affect things is your age, IIRC people under 18 cannot sign a contract or something. But you could always get your folks to do it.
(Basically I would buy one if it were available)

The area just below the belt looks a bit physically akward, maybe a bit more shapely? But besides that, you\'ve made a fantastic miniature. Definetly try and get it casted!
As I\'ve understood it a FIMO sculpt would have to be cast in resin, as the material is not durable enough for the vulcanization required for a white metal mould. They could have a master made in some harder type of resin though and then use that to make the metal production mould, but I don\'t think that is a very common procedure.
However, you could also try and cast it yourself. Resin moulds can be made from some RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) silicone, a few lego bricks, plastiline clay and of course resin for the casting.
I\'m no expert on mould making though so you\'d have to read up on that a little more.

FIMO isn\'t suitable for the process usually used to produce miniaures from green stuff (or other putties like brown stuff, procreate, etc). Polymer clays must first be cast using another method to produce masters which are more durable and able to produce a tenable negative in the mould plates.
Painted miniatures also cannot be vulcanised like other greens. The paint reacts badly with the rubber and produces a gooey effect, so you don\'t get a decent cavity.
If you thoroughly strip the mini, you might get away with it on the one count, but production costs are much higher for FIMO masters, due to the additional process mentioned above.

so, now I have an update of the painting work I have done, since it\'s proberly not going to be casted (becuse of FIMO and paint)
so here\'s an update of the paintingwork I\'ve done on it
I hope you like it ^^

Edit: sorry, forgot to write some ^^\'
bad pic... didn\'t get a good one, that\'s a shame.. anyhow... I feel like the skin could use some glazes what do you think about that? any suggestion for colour sombinations for a good glaze?

Looks too pronounced in the photo - she looks like she has a cleft palate :/
But the rest of the skin work looks great at the mo
She might want a bit of red in certain areas, but otherwise looking F.A.B. Parker!
PS. Might also make the pupils a bit bigger - at the mo she looks very suprised
