My First Bust 'Neytiri'

noemi5493 · Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2012 5:57 pm Post subject: My First Bust 'Neytiri'

Ok I stared this piece during my travel to Peru, I mostly finished it but for the lack of materials (or at least paints that I'm use to) my poor Neytiri endend up bad!! So now back in California I had to remove all the paint and start over.

yeah is polymer clay 1:6 bust I remove the acrilic paint with nail polish remover then find some genesis in Blue and boom! fix the problem...

yay! she looks good so far even better than the first time, I use glow on the dark paint for her freckles.
Now I'm holding up until her eyes arrive... will update maybe in couple weeks wink

Cool !!

You got her spot on. Is the head completely hollow ? and if so then how did you do it and how will you insert the eyes ? grin

Thanks!!, yes the head is! just think in a BJD's head, so the eyes are inserted from inside then the head cap (back) is lock into place wink

Well I'm kind of frustrated by now Sad

I got the eyes from China today and just realize I order the wrong size!! AYYY after that long wait!!!

Well then I just have to order the right size and color from a vendor in USA whom luckily had that color available. So wait just a few more days.. Sad

Another very nice sculpt Noemi.
Looking forward to seeing her finished.

I love the way you have painted her.

You have a really pleasing 'finishing' style - clean and professional looking.
