Crystal kifu - progress 2

[pyraxis]

More progress on the super sculpey project. It's at a rough finished stage now. I need to do a final pass to fix some issues with proportion in the face and head, more realistic folds in the cloth, more finely-boned feet, and maybe some changes to the mass of karnwood roots and uza coming out of the kifu box. And of course I have to add the crystal itself. I have translucent white sculpey for that and I'm hoping it will bake compatibly with the super sculpey.








I'm planning to finish it with a combination of acrylic and ink wash. It's going to be a fun experiment to see how realistic an african skin tone I can get by layering brown and red washes on the super sculpey without losing the awesome subsurface scattering effect, like I would if I just painted over the skin with plasticky acrylic.

Oh! Forgot to say! Any and all critiques are welcome. I want to make this as good as I can.

Hahaha, well, competitiveness does tend to improve badassness, at least in some ways. :P

I guess I'm not so much worried about me freaking you guys out as I am... I suppose I'm really excited about visiting you guys, but at the same time a little nervous because I have absolutely no idea what my brain will do, hahahaha. I've never really been in an environment where I can be open about dreaming/multiplicity stuff and have other people get it. Sure, I've been uncloseting to friends, but it's still in an awkward anxious still-learning-how-to-speak-each-other's-language-and-communicate phase. So I have no clue if I'll be nervous and having to wrestle with the autopilot and emotion-split, if Jim will be stuck imaginary-friend-style and frustrated, or if he'll be able to kick me out of the way the second I step off the plane. Whatever happens, it'll be interesting.
