Sculpting challenge, day 176- Painting N continued! Also a brief Grimm ramble and Scottie's present!

[milleniumgypsy]

Tonight I continued the N pony paint! I lightened the whole body paint to a really pale buckskin, and now I'm really happy with him. I did touchups all over the body, painted around the eyes more, and now the main painting is done I think. Now it's detailing! I'm happy. :3





Watched Grimm tonight! Did anyone else laugh at Captain Renard saying that he was going to go to Tahiti? I feel like it was a SHIELD reference. xD (They're previous Buffy writers after all, and Whedon is doing SHIELD and obvs Buffy was his). When I heard that I laughed and said to Scottie "Well, Tahiti is a magical place!" ehehehe

Also, Scottie got me a Christmas present! I'd retweeted a link about a preorder for The Pirate Fairy, which I was excited about (Captain Hook is voiced by Hiddles!), and Scottie saw it and then was like "hey cutie... I got a thing" xD It won't be in until April, but it will be miiiiine as soon as it is available and Scottie is so amazing eeeee! :D

It looks great!

I laughed too! My first thought was Agens of SHIELD. I wasn't sure if it was meant to be a reference or if it was an accidental reference lol.

I feel like it might have been intentional, but I'm not sure of course! It would be cool if it was. xD

Nice job on the sculpting! I saw some of your earlier stuff and it made me smile because I have the same sculpting book as well. :D I'm actually working on a dragon art doll at the moment and like the N pony, I'm at the painting stage as well.
Have you thought of adding an eye highlight to the eye? I feel that it would give the sculpt a bit of life to it. And maybe it is just me or the camera, but the mane and tail look a little sea green. Maybe it needs a touch more yellow green to it, like a wash possibly, but again, that is just me.
Wonderful job though and I can't wait to see the finished product!

Thank you! That book is really useful! :D I'd been doing my own stuff for a while, but then Scottie found that book and I decided to challenge myself to sculpting the whole book (hence, why this originally was called my sculpting challenge) in hopes of improving my skills. xD

I finished that book, then I started on human figures! But then I was inspired to do my ponies, lol. I learned a lot from doing that part of the challenge, but it's so nice to just do my own thing again ehehehe. xD

I'm going to do eye highlights, and he'll get eye gloss too. :3 He's just not finished yet. n_n'
His mane and tail aren't quite the same colour as is in the picture, it's a little less sea green irl. But I do see what you're saying! I might do that, thanks!

I'm excited to finish him up too! Since my sculpting was in hiatus there for a bit I have a backlog of things in my head that I want to do lol. xD
