Cleaned up her gun hand, put the freckles on, and futzed with the jacket some and then immediately regretted it. I've tried to fix it while keeping some of the lighter mottling, but I'm going to have to think about it a bit and see if I want to do anything more to it. Oh, I also started painting the base; the rest of that will wait until the plinth is ready. She's almost done.
I attached the rest of her hair and her hand. Tweaked the highlights on the newly attached hair. Highlighted the gun. I need to clean up her gun hand where I slopped some paint while I was base coating the gun, futz with the jacket a bit more - I want to add some shadows and bring up another highlight level - and give her some freckles. Then I have to finish the base. Two, maybe three sessions.
Added the texture/highlight to her jacket, and then did the zipper because I had a little time left. I'm not sure, I might mess with the jacket some more. I need to sit with it a bit and think about it. I'll probably attach the other pieces next time; I think this is far enough along that it will be OK.
Finished her hair (mostly, I think I'll have to tweak it a bit after I attach the ponytail), and got a base coat on the jacket. Very happy with the jacket color. I love the stage where things start to come together.
Today I shaded and highlighted her shirt, and then quick painted the band that holds her ponytail. I was going to do the jacket next, but I think I need to do the hair. I don't want to worry about rubbing off the paint on the jacket when I come back to do other parts.
Painted her pants tonight and base coated her shirt. The pants look like cargo pants or something to me, so I went with khaki rather than a blue for denim or something like that. For her shirt, I waffled between a dirty beige and the blue that I've gone with here. I like the blue; I think I will stick with that.
Next will be finishing the shirt and base coating the jacket.
Shaded and highlighted her cybernetics. I think I need a bit more highlight on the details on the top of her chest, as they are not showing they way I'd like. The highlights also look a little weird because they are painted for an overhead light source, but the light in the booth comes more from the sides.
Got the base metal on the cybernetics. I was going to focus on that tonight, but I ended up getting base coats on the two pieces that aren't attached yet - the rest of her hair, and her right hand and gun. Probably will finish the cybernetics next. Then I'm going to have to make some color choices for her clothing.
I did the face details, though I might add some freckles. She looks like she should have freckles. After that, I did the undercoat for the metal, and then base coated her hair because the white was bugging me.
I think I'm pretty much done with the skin. I might lighten the shadow by her collar bone, it's a little darker than it needs to be. And I might broaden some of the shadow on either side of her nose, going up the sides. Next I'll finish her face, and then the cyber parts.
Got the first round of shadow on her. Hoped to get farther, didn't end up with enough time for it.
This piece is called 'Bad Blood 2'. She'll need a name at some point. Anyway, there's some hair, her right hand, and a big gun not yet attached. I've just started; this is a base coat on her skin and nothing else. I'll finish the skin, then the cyber areas, and go from there.
Got the last piece attached. I also finished the arm, the mechanical gun arm, and the coat collar. I think I should be able to get it finished next time.
Got highlights on the back of his coat, and then primed, based, and attached the mechanical arm thing that attaches to his rifle. I suppose it is a big rifle, after all. Anyway, one piece left to attach. If things go well I might have him done tomorrow. Otherwise, two days.
Finished the gun, I think. Not my best work, but it'll do. Next I'll finish the coat, or at least the back, so I can get the next piece on.
Got the coat and gun base coated and attached. I also got the rest of the highlights on his legs, and highlights on some incidental bits, like the right arm and glove. I think I might focus on the rifle next, and then the cloak. There are two more pieces to be attached, too.
Did the freehand on his pants. Ended up with more blue on them than I was aiming for. I'm not sure what I think of it overall. I wasn't sold on it, but it's growing on me, I think. Either way, I need to finish highlights on his pants, and then I can prep and attach the next piece.
Finished up the base on this guy. Might regret doing the edge this early. Next, I'm going to have to bite the bullet and do the freehand on his pants.
Focused on the base today. It's mostly done, need to do some edge highlighting. And put some tufts on there.
I did not have a ton of time to work on this guy tonight, but I got a little done. I've highlighted his boots and knee pads (armor?) and got a base coat on the dirt on his base. I need to finish the pants and the base, then I can put the cloak on - but I need to prime and paint the inside of it before I can attach it.
