I spent a while determining if I could put on the rest of the bits, and decided it'd be better to get them at least partly painted first. So I base coated them, but they are not pictured. I also painted her left hand and got a base coat on the armor bits on her arms. Next will be finishing the armor and doing the blades, then shading the missing bits and attaching them.
Finished off her dress, got a base coat and shading on her shawl/wrap thing (there are pieces of that still to be attached) an then glued her other hand in place. Next time I'll check and see if I can put the other shawl pieces on or if I need to paint the arms first.
Did the gold scale(?) mail, shaded the dress, and had a couple minutes to put a base coat on the sandals. I need to smooth out the shading on the dress. The goal is to get the upper part of her body painted so I can glue her other hand on, so next time will be fixing the shading on the dress, highlighting at least that upper portion, then base coating and maybe shading part of her wrap thing so I can glue on her hand.
Highlighted Daphne's skin and did her face and hair, then base coated the dress. There's actually a little pony-tail piece that's supposed to be attached to the rest of her hair at the back of her neck, but it didn't fit well and had a slim chance of staying in place so I just left it off. It's a lot of green on the dress, but some of it is just an undercoat for bronze in those areas with all the little circular depressions. I think it's supposed to look like scale mail or something. Weird, I know. Worse when you realize that textured stuff goes under the bodice of the dress.
I don't like doing hair. It's like eyes; you can spend forever futzing with it, going back and forth with how much highlight and how bright, too much intermediate lighter tones and then not enough. Anyway, I worked on highlights on her hair tonight. I thought I was fine with it, but now I think I need to bring up the final highlight; it's theoretically white but doesn't look it.
Put a round of highlight on the demon's hair. Lots of tweaking to go yet.
Also started my next gladiator. This is Daphne. I based and shaded her skin tonight.
Did her eyes, and then base coated the hair and did her eyebrows. The paint I picked for the hair didn't cover well and needed a number of coats to cover well. I'm kinda regretting using shading colors on her skin that are so desaturated. But I'm pretty happy with the eyes.
