    Cornelius

    Recipe:
    Cornelius's head sculpt is an enlarged Medicom head sculpt from Ian (Yanouli), which I modified a little bit on a T1 body with a cracked left hand where the rivet is. I removed the sculpt's pompadour and added hair with Apoxie sculpt. I even had to resculpt the ears, after fluffing up the hair on the sides of his face. The paints were by me, and the clothes were by me. To deaden the shine of his face, I mixed talcum powder to his face paint before application. Enjoy!

    I like the way the light falls on his face in this photograph. I consider this a lucky shot, because not only is his face in focus, but also the flower he is holding is in focus because it must have been the same distance from the camera as his face. I took the shot using autofocus on a macro setting.


    Here he is looking almost directly at the camera!!


    Here is most of his outfit (I cropped off his human feet)

    Beautiful! we need (I would like) to see a pic showing the full costume. The head looks pretty dead on though. Very good pose also.

        I didn't want to show the whole costume because he still has human feet. I will probably redo the costume and instead of eelskin leather, I will use the fake dark brown leather material that I have.

                Very nice. Suit is great as would be expected from you. I love the detail in the hands.

                  This photo didn't make the cut but at least it shows the sleeve detail of the outfit. Seeing this profile makes me want to take sandpaper to his head again!!
