Body Types



Body Type 1


Slightly more stylized. Longer legs dancer model








Body Type 2


Slightly Less styilized. Bulkier 'hero' type figure


Currently unsure of which type is better to use. Type 1 would allow for more styilized head and features as well. Perhaps a combination.

Ancient Egypt
WWII
Viking?
History of Bathing?
"period Drama"

I dunno, I's kinda like to do them as a set of something Im really drawn to.
I really also want to offer her as a collectible in higher quality resin.
