    I agree, I think you've got it with this one.

      Tadah!! I think I did it!!! To me it looks like Carsia. Now I can see why Ada takes as long as 40 hours on one sculpt. I think I may have done 10 hours on her.

      I've got a huge commission to undertake now, so no more sculpting for about two weeks or so until I get this 1:6 scale sewing project done. I've done one before, and hopefully since I've already travelled that road it will not be difficult.

              Cat, I started out with Aves Apoxie. It has its merits, but it's messy to work with and you have a 3-hour window with which to work with. I have switched out to Super Sculpey which stays maleable until I am ready to cure it in the oven.

                      Thanks, Thomas! I just finished this outfit, the second one in the world, and again it is not mine to keep. One more commission left to do, finish preparations for Wondercon, then I can go back to my apes. (Or...did I ever leave my ape work?)...

                      I really hate that lipstick on Zira, which is most especially noticeable with a flash. I better repaint her someday.

                          Her name is Jessica, so that would make her a "sis", NOT a "bro"...

                              Jessica, you are AMAZING at what you do! I'm in awe of your talent. I sat here and was riveted to my chair while going through all of these posts. I really enjoyed seeing the progressions of every character. I know how it is when you're not satisfied with some work you've spent hours on earlier and decide later on to "re-work" it with a vengeance.

                              As you're saying goes... "where there's a will there's a way".

                              Very much looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for the look so far.

                                I hope this isn't a stupid question, but, when you say you "combed out " the hair, do you mean with an actual comb? Is that how you sculpted the hair so finely?
