Mizzy’s Bow and Bottles

This evening I achieved a little bit more on Mizzy. I got her bottles and bow started.

I am thinking of leaving the bottles as they are and working a bit more on the bow.

I also plucked up the courage and did a bit of work on her lips.

I bought the AP Thunderbird Blue a good while ago because I thought it was a nice colour. It worked well for what I wanted here.  My first thought with the bottles was to have two different colours, but I bottled it, no pun intended.  I just didn’t think I had enough ideas on what two to choose that wouldn’t spoil the overall effect.

Today I have evidently made my 90th post in a row. 10% of my longest run, but hey nearly three months of daily posts.

Mizzy Layer Three

This evening I got the third layer done on the bodice and am now happy with the colour.

It is definitely different to the waist now. So I would say that is a success.

I will hopefully get the bow and bottles done tomorrow.

I am eventually going to have to tackle her face. I am slowly running out of other bits to paint.

Oh and WordPress has done the same again. I went from 84 posts in a row to three yesterday. Not sure if it is WordPress or actually Jetpack… whichever one it is, it is getting bloody annoying.

Mizzy – Two Layers

This evening I did the second layer on Mizzy’s leather top and glove.

You should be able to notice the difference even if the photo on the right isva bit washed out.

My plan is to do three layers in total. Hopefully that should give a real tonal shift from the waist.

I was going to do the two bottles on her belt, but decided against it as the bodice was still wet. That would be just asking for trouble.

As you can see, I did a smidge more on the 28mm miniature.

Back to Mizzy

Well Mizzy and I have made up and I did a bit more this evening.

Now her top looks very similar to her waist. It is a totally different colour, but as the paint was so thin then it will take a few coats to darken up. I used Vallejo ‘copper brown’ and ‘ork skin’ this evening.

I am really liking how this coming out. Eventually though, I am going to have to bite the bullet and do her eyes!

More on Mizzy

I worked some more on Mizzy this evening. I noticed today that she has fingerless gloves on her left hand, so I sorted that first. I also did some leather as well as her sleeves.

I also repainted her eyes white.

As I was doing her I was also working on a 28mm miniature.

Slow, but steady progress.

Mizzy Again

This evening I did a smidge more on Mizzy. This time some of her leatherwork.

This was the Sand Golem Speedpaint. You can see the undiluted version of the colour on the bottle lid.

I really went to town on avoiding puddles (leading to staining). Sadly I did it so well that the lower coloured bit has lost all definition. It looks totally flat.

I really must brave the rosy cheeks sometime soon. I am do far out of my depth on how to do this that the fish have lights on their heads.

On a totally different note, my posting streak has reset properly now. Today I got back to where I thought it should be… namely 82 days in a row.

Made a Start

So I made a start on Mizzy. I really just did the skin and pedestal, but it’s a start. I got a bit of staining, but it might actually work to my advantage as to where it is. It is really standing out against the white, but once the cloth is done it should look fine

I also got the flesh done on the other undercoated bust. It seemed a shame to waste the paint.

Dusty Bust

Well this evening I decided to give my One Coat paints a go on my elven witch bust. I resprayed her a good few years ago and since then she has sat in a box or on my unit.

So I thought to myself I had wondered about trying glazing. So I gave it a try earlier.

Evidently I need to dust more…

I spent more time trying to remove spiderweb  and dust than I did trying to add the paint. I would like to point out that the cat hair, or whatever it is appeared between painting and  photographing.
