Vampirella project

Here she is with cloths on, so I guess I can post here now. I used Verlindens lead foil for the outfit and styrene sheet for the collars. The lead foil conforms really well and keeps the contours of the figure, like the nipples ;D and ribs. I had to piece it all together, but once its all glued in place, it can be mashed together at the seams, like clay. I'll give it a coat of Mr Surfacer just to make sure I get all the cuts I made in the figure or any open seams left.

Interesting variation on that model. I kinda' like the idea. Never thought much of it in original form but as a Vampi it shows some real promise.

Here she is so far. Just wanted to get some opinions before I continued. im not quite sure what color to make the pillows. Was thinking either a very dark purple or just a sheer black.

those fleshtones are amazing...what are you using to create them...is a secret receipe ? personally speaking i think she is magnificent, the shading is nice and subtle..something i need to work on.

as for the colour of the pillows,,,hmm tricky, i thought about beige but it might be hard to seperate the fleshtones from that colour and white would be too stronga contrast withe the darkhair... maybe a very pale purple... that's the best i can think of at this time in the morning

Thanks! actually I tried out your receipe. The Tamiya Dark yellow with hint of red and some white. But I added some spices of my own too. The shading was done with Vallejos sandy brown, and golden brown. Thinned down very thin, like 1 part paint 5 parts thinner. The highlights was the base color with more white added. After all this I gave her two different filters , vallejo golden yellow, followed by vallejo burnt umber. I think my idea with the dark purple or black would take away from all that hair too, and I like your idea of the pale purple. actually, I have a Pearl purple ink that would be close to pale purple. maybe I'll try that. Thanks for the input
