WHAT'S THIS?!
Whoa....two updates in 24 hours? Crazy...
Didn't get to the liquid latex tonight, but started fiddling around with paperclay instead. The recipe I had made quite a lot for what I was planning on using it for, so I ended up doing more than I thought I would with it.
And since I have done some work, I'll post an updated status report.
Checkup:
Head:
-Wig: 12% (bought the wig and wig dye. Started straightening the wig. Taking longer than expected.)
-Headdress: 40% (Got the base done with paperclay. Need to wait for it to dry before I can gesso and paint it. Also, half of one of the pointy antenna things done. After I see how it turns out, another batch of paperclay will be made and I'll do the rest.)
-Head Cables: 30% (Have the pointy things on the end about 60% done and have the tubing I'm going to use. Need to finish priming the pointy things and then paint them. Liquid latex has arrived, I'm just being slow about using it. Still need to think of a secure way to attach the pointy things.)
Body:
-Red part: 80% (cut out and sewn together. Is stretchy enough that I didn't need to add a zipper. Contemplating adding foam to the inside to give it more support. Will be decided upon once I put the Velcro in.)
-White part: 95% (Managed to get it done. There's still a few wrinkles that I want to get to if I have time, but until I finish other parts it will have to wait.)
-Gloves: 15% (Have some black gloves for the black finger tips. Debating between painting red body latex on them or actually making a pair of gloves. Painting would be easier. >.> Also need to figure out what I'm going to do for the yellow pointy parts. Probably cardboard and hot glue, that seems to work really well for making circular things.)
-Shoulder and wrist things: 1% Concept of how I'm going to make them is pretty much there. Haven't started yet, but I'm pretty sure that I'm going to make a base out of cardboard and then cover in paperclay to give it a smooth surface to gesso on.)
-Yellow stuff(center of her chest): 1% (Know how I'm going to do it. Should be very simple with cardboard.)
Legs/Feet:
-Legs: 5% (Have the red fabric. Haven't done anything else)
-Shoes: 90% (Still debating if I should paint gesso on them and I need to add hot glue to the bottom so I have traction!)
Overall: 50%
Hopefully tomorrow will be as productive as today!
