The sculpting diaries: Sneak peeks!
First of all: Thank you so much to those of you who were so incredibly supportive and sweet yesterday/today. I LOVE YOU GUYS! T_T <3333
With renewed energy and motivation, I am working hard! I won't disappoint you! Well I'll try. ^^;
It's raining cats and dogs today. >.< I'll probably do some casting later anyway; but I wanted to clean up some of the previous casts, and that requires dremeling, which requires me to be outside. Oh well. Soon! The colors are ery very close now. I have a pink NS (close to newer Luts), and a peach NS (close to older Luts, Soom NS, F-Doll). I think both just need a little more white in the mix, but they are very close at this point. I'm also planning on a Cream white (close to Luts BW), and a Paper white (close to Soom CW).
As far as sculpting, Hawk and Elf!Raven are coming along pretty well. Elf!Raven is kind of for fun... he's likely going to be a Limited at some point, so you won't see him again for a while. I'm planning on using what's left of my silicone to make a mold for Hawk, and then I'll probably have to save up for silicone again. ^^; The elf version has dreaming eyes, and his nose is a little bit different. OH, UHM, AND ELF EARS.
Hawk still has a long way to go as far as detail work and sanding... his chin needs more work, his forehead and brow ridges, his nose... the inside of his eyewells... but I think his expression is pretty much in place at this point. He's supposed to be a bit older than Raven, and not as emo, hahaha. XD He wears 14mm eyes as opposed to Raven's 16mm. I used an old junk cast of Raven, competely dremeled the face off, and sculpted Hawk onto the blank core. That saved me a lot of work on the inside and back of the head, obviously. ^^ Since they're supposed to be related, I'm not very concerned with the ears being the same.
Elf Raven:
Only one picture of Hawk as of yet. He is very much still a work in progress. I need to add more clay to his forehead and sand his brow ridge more, so he doesn't look as much like a Neanderthal. AND YES. CHIN DIMPLE. YES. <3 More dolls need to have chin dimples. *nodnod*
