ixminis Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 This one's a WIP commission... slooowly moving along due to the broad highlights that this piece needs... I'm alot faster with sharp highlights... After a few more highlights on the blue, it'll get it's freehand and a finished base. If anyone can link me to a good kimono site... that'd be great!!! I didn't like the NMM I was doing on the hairpiece (this part of the sculpt isn't quite smooth enough for me to execute NMM terribly well) AND I was having trouble giving the NMM a silver tone unique enough to contrast with the hair.... hence metallics... Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Did a quick goole search for you and found this place: http://www.manhyo.co.jp/product/kimono.html Hope it helps, looking good so far :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixminis Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Kewl stuff. I did a cruddy attempt at the crane symbol on the back of the outfit. Luckily, I had sealed before the freehand & was able to scrub it off... back to trying it out one more time.... I'm not sure that it's going to look right no matter what - the picture I'm emulating is stylistic... sooo... I'll post it if I get it right. Next I'll ask the client if he'd like extra stuff all over the figure... I vote *yes* Rgds, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixminis Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 Okee - I've finished the figure and am waiting on a reply from the client to see if this matches their vision. Crane courtier front and back piccies!!! All comments suggestions welcome/encouraged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humansquish Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Looks really good. The designs on the kimono are nice without being too overbearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
