        You managed to do it again. Unbelievable likeness.

        Love it, Love it, Love it!!

        Hey... what color combination did you use for her face?
        Thanks everyone for your input. I'm so happy she turned out the way she did. I checked out the paint I used, and it's a mixture of #433 Terra Cotta by Folk Art and Medium Flesh by Delta Ceramcoat. I had a sideshow Zira nearby for color reference, and I went a little bit lighter than the Sideshow because I wanted Zira's hands to match her face. I also dry-brushed a mixture of the above with a bit of #72060 Brown from CraftEssentials (JoAnn house paint) underneath her brow ridges to bring out the shadow. Her hair was #72034 Black from JoAnn's, dry-brushed with a bit of brown.

                  Thats some really awesome work Jes! The sculpting and paints are top notch. I like using Apoxy Sculpt too, but I find it can be a bear to work with sometimes!

                      Jess, that looks great. You sculpted the head yourself as well?

                        No, the head is an original mego that I attached more hair to. Isn't it amazing what a new hairdo can do?

                          I seem to have a hard time capturing the look of hair when sculpting. You sculpted the lines in the hair to look just like Mego did it. Nice work!

                            Thank you, Mike. I was actually just trying to match what was already there.
