Comments welcome, although I likely won't change him. I just like feedback for future projects.

As always, more photos in my blog.

I like him. What do you use for your steam?

I think I'm going to have to put up a tutorial on that. It seems every time I post a picture, someone asks the same question.

Anyway, to answer said question:

I start with a wire armature of some sort. I then tightly superglue some clump foliage to it. I then use watered down pva glue to give it a solid coating, and let dry to harden it. After that, it's prime and paint like normal. For the steam, I simply do successive layers of grey moving up to white. I've also seen, and intend to do myself, this process used to create flame effects. Just change the paint colors accordingly.

Come to think of it, I am pretty sure I already read this by you. Hahaha. No faster way to feel like a total ass.

If at first you don't remember, ask, ask again. Or something like that. No worries. I'm a teacher by trade...sort of, so helping others is nothing new.
