Thanks a lot!skywalkersaga wrote:Wow, she looks stunning! I'm also seriously impressed by your collection of gorgeous shells!
Random question... what is that gauze type material you are using as their clothing? It seems like something that would come in really handy for 1/6 customizing in general...
And the material is actually old socks and tights from my late grandma. She would find their new use funny I think. There is a drawer full of those. Some are rough, some smooth, I use the rough ones for the shell people. They come in grey, dark grey, tusken beige, Jedi brown, senator white silk, dark green and rose etc. I don't think they are expensive to buy but I never had a look yet. It is a great material, very stretchy, and you can regulate the transparency with multiple layers etc. Best cut with round blade.
Yeah, thanks! Tell them I send you, maybe I get a discount.AlKelAstra91 wrote:Very nice work, I've been thinking about getting my first female Phicen and you may have inspired me to finally go through with it.
Are the marks/bruises intentional? They seem like just enough to look real without overdoing it.
And yes as Gubernator said, it's from that Painkiller Jane figure. I think those bruises make sense here, since there are so many sharp objects she is confronted with.
Thanks again. Yes those little details are quite important, I see it every time I remove them.GubernatorFan wrote:Looks very good -- I'm particularly impressed by your choice and ability to string up these tiny shells, which still look plausible on sixth-scale figures. The details are falling into place quite nicely.
AlKelAstra, the body used is from a TBLeague set (Painkiller Jane) which had the bruises on it by design.
Another male headsculpt arrived. It was unnamed and looked a bit like Tom Hardy on the eBay image. It's a bit bigger than
I actually planned to use the second male body and this head to start one of the forest Guys, but I experimented with shells again. I might change it later, his sad eyes are better suited for the forest guys than the shell people.
But the sculpt doesn't look like Hardy. And I think it's good, I want the sculpts to look realistic, but also want to avoid getting real famous people. A bit of Charlie Hunnam? Charlie Hardy? Tom Hunnam, who plays that Jedi on this 'Peaky Vikings' show? I might confuse something.
Tried to use one ugly long oyster as a kind of parry shield, and the long white shell as shield/blade. I imagine this thing is quite sharp.
He might be one who draws the attention of the giant sea crabs and parries it's attacks, distracting the creature long enough until one of the girls can finish it with a precision strike on a weak spot.
Yes, fancy bright colours. Sorry Christopher Nolan.
