Dangerous Curves

[Model Citizen]

This was a bit of a test peice for me. I have wanted to attempt doing an abnimalistic skin for a female figure for a while now. This kit seemed a good pose so went for it. At first when I started spraying the spots on it looked like she had the measels and I wondered what on earth I'd done to my lovely apricot base coat. But, I kept spraying coat upon coat (about 20 in the end) and as they started to get bigger and darker I felt I was getting somewhere. I took some of her hair away, took off her eye patch and sculpted another eye in place and went for the sword option in her lowered hand (there was also an option with her holding a severed head). I also scylpted my own breast cover that allowed more of her skin to be seen. Next up, if I can find a good kit, I'd like to try a tiger stripe pattern....no, really!




p.s. I completely stole the idea for the name from Francois Verlinden military diorama.

I like her she looks different but i like her, i may try a skin effet like this myself. the only minor change i would make is to repaint the eyes they show up much to bright in the pictures, i always use my lightest flesh tone and add a small amount of white to that for my eyes, nice work.

A serious animal sense about her. Her eye mask reminds me of the female "skin" in Blade Runner. I like the eyes. Can't decide on cat or serpent though. Keep up the good work.
