          Actually when you look at her in real life it looks like I painted in teeth. So for anyone who bought this cast it can be done and not look goofy.

                  Fun to see how you painted yours vs. how I painted mine. You definitely were able to give her the softer features as intended.

                    Excellent job, Jessica! So this is the head from the NECA 7" line? Did you make adjustments to the sculpt, as well? Looks super sharp!

                      Yes i reworked her hair and made it less poofy. And then those weird looking side curls I reshaped them. I also added eye lids to soften her expression and removed the weight and frown of her brow ridges. Also her lower muzzle I cut the squareness off of it and made it slope towards her chin.

                          WOW! That's awesome, great job! Good to hear the head is Mego scale...it's a much better sculpt than Mego's.

                            Here is a quick video I made of my paint up. You can't really appreciate the subtlety of the paint work unless you see her in person.

                              Beautiful job on the paints! Just now seeing the comparison pics and video. Neca's Zira is pretty scary looking, lol.
