Did a lot of experimenting with this fig, which is why it took so long to finish. (Sorry, customer!)

Aside from practicing how to airbrush and shade flesh, I wanted to find a cheap way to make flexible removable armor, and while I did figure it out, it also happens to be a giant pain in the ass and totally not worth the time invested. Sculpey molds and liquid latex work just fine, but they take forever to make. Casting resin is much faster and more durable...and much more expensive.

•The panties are one piece of flexible latex, and removable, but I couldn't figure out a way to simplify the process so they're just glued at the sides. The bra is the original hard copy, I had wasted enough time at that point and needed to ship the figure already.

•I was really proud of the airbrushed shading, but then after a few days little flecks of black bullsh*t started to stick to the paint. I painted again and they would return. It's maybe debris from construction, or cigarette ash from outside, or some crap. I hate living in the city, there's so much sh*t in the air and it all wants to stick to my customs. I gave up fighting it, at least it looks good on the shelf, if not up close.

It's not a perfect figure, but it's not bad for a cheap commission. I'll make one for myself eventually.
