PinkHairGirl Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Did anyone else look at that mini and just wanna cry? It looks to me like a cross between Harry Potter and a monkey. Here is my attempt at green-stuffing her to look a little less... that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoerzer Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 That looks awesome! Never thought about changing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirarii Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 This looks good but the bangs seem to stand out a lot now. Personally though, I love the female gunsmith as is. My only problem is the lips seemed a little weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jack* Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Did anyone else look at that mini and just wanna cry? It looks to me like a cross between Harry Potter and a monkey. Yes. Very nice job. Wish I could do something similar but I fear I lack the skills with GS, so kudos for pulling this off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaBreadMen Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Really nice, dynamic hair too, you've done a great job keeping it in balance with the models pose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 That's a damn good idea, I may have to do the same when I get round to mine! And nice work getting the sense of movement into the hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkHairGirl Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) This is actually my first time GSing a model, but I do have an upper hand because I do a lot of small-scale detailed jewelry, and my boyfriend is a boss at this sort of thing so I had his advice. Some of the secret weapons used to GS this: Needlepoint tweezers (for pulling stands of hair and making a wisp effect) Clay Shapers (Allows you to apply the same pressure as a finger tip but on a much smaller scale. I use them for metal clay and polymer clay too) Slik (Clay balm, apply to your tools before each move and it allows your shaping to be smooth instead of jagged. You could also just use olive oil but that eventually gets sticky. In either case, if you use any balm or oil on your GS stuff at all, give it a good scrub before any painting so the paint sticks to it.)

NinjaBreadMen Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I'm limited to cocktail sticks, and a sewing needle. Oh and water for lubricant... maybe that's where I've been going wrong >.< Thanks for the tips on how you did this, I'll be sure to try them out!

FoeRender Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 clay shapers are a must ( the ones with the rubber tips ) it makes working the green stuff a breeze . the hair looks good , after its painted we can see the true effect .
