Mai Shiranui (King of fighters)

Hmmm, a little tooooo quite here !

So, lets spent a look on my 4th. buildup - at least to fill the gap

Shame on me:
It is the last kit I've finished (more than 1 1/2 year ago).

I should shoot my dog, divorce, quit my job and
-most important- sell this damned house (always something MUST be done ..)


'nough of my crying - Here we go:




Decided against the usual red/white paint scheme.




Open fan is scratched out of paper.




Pretty girl, isn't she ?




YES !




Closer ?




More closer ?




Still not close enough ?




I've softened her tapered (anime, you know) chin and her can-opener sharp nose




I also deepened all undercuts (and hate me for that when painting ... ) and done recesses under the spinned drapery on her shoulders (what ends up in redoing the whole helix )








Playing with light (believe me, I only build her once: It is the same figurine):

Sunset




Morning has broken




Romantic




Sweet




Actress





Well mates, I'm empty !
Up to you now, to bring some live in here ;D


Cheers
Odin

you've done a magnificent job there mate, she looks so realistic unlike some of those figures that look too cartoonish for my liking....yes i knwo that's wehre they originated from but you've managed to give her a more human look.

exceelent work !

I agree - I am also not a fan of anime figures, but this one looks GREAT with the modifications you made to her chin and nose...helps one appreciate her other attributes better.

Excellent!

me too, sadly I am not greatly into anime but incredible work odin, wonderful use of the light in your shots as well.

I pored over the pics for quite some time marvelling at your use of tones etc

Ace work
