Gorgon Sister - The Scorpion

[Roktman 154]

This time around I took Greenwell Studios Gorgon Sister out of the stash to work on. I tried looking for info about Greenwell, but apparently they have disappeared. Too bad, they had good kits. If I remember correctly, there was 3 or 4 different Gorgon busts.
Anyway, after it's cleaning, I primed it in the usual way -

 

 

At this point I actually left it for a few weeks. I kind of liked that way it looked in the black and white. But then I decided put put paint on it. Here it is base coated -

 

 

As with a lot of my base coats, the colors never last. I always end up changing my mind. At first I started with a darker skin thinking Mediterranean, but then I always make busts paler. Here she is with the finished colors -

 

My original idea for a dark Scorpion headress changed as too much detail would be lost. Then I've been seeing mini painters do a terrific job at painting lenses/gems etc... so I decided to make the large circle on the front a gem. I need work on doing them. ;) It was also my first time at trying a marble pattern. Turned out ok...
Here she is from other angles. Thanks for looking -

Wow, stunning work! Everything you did was more and more of an improvement. Way to go!

Kevin, you do really cool things with these busts you put out. They're all so unique and you make each one your own.

 

Nice work again.

 

BTW... I like how the black and white looked too. The details really "pop". It almost looks like a ink drawing in an old book.

 

Great job.

Thanks. I guess they all are a little different because they sit in my stash for a while until I see something, or something else reminds me of one. Then I pull it out and have a go. ;)
