re-sculpt

I am coating some of my pieces in plasticine. I realized I lost quite a bit of detail through all of my modifications. As a result I have been left with a piece which has lost its character and lacks the factor to make it special. I was left with a very uninspiring piece. I have also altered her chest joint to have a ribcage joint instead of a breast one. I am already pleased with my results.

First assembly

Assembled what I could for the first handin. Her top is strung with twine because the string holes are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too small. Evidently I did not drill her thighs all of the way so the stocking garders are actually holding her legs together. I know its creepy but whatever. Her headcap is now cut open so I could put eyes in. Many changes are needed before she is castable.

First prime

After lots of sanding sprayed her with cellulose primer to get a better idea of how it all looks together.

Alterations

Symmetry testing and filling dents on her head.
Yellow is fine autobody filler. By this time her cast thigh joints have been removed in favor of the original pink thigh balls because the fit of the cast pieces was inappropriate. I must have re-done them about four times now to make everything work when she is sitting as well as standing.

1st Cast

maaannnn she has a big butt


First cast is directly from plasticine and sculpey original and is imperfect to be used as a base for furthere finishing. Doll is not strung in this stage
