This is a kind of post-dated post. A lot's been happening in my life and I've gone Pro as an artist so things have been rather hectic for 2017! But I did finish Aspen and she's such fun to play with!
Here's how it went.
After my thumb healed I was able to finally do her blushing. I went for a very simple and dramatic faceup, with greys and browns. He skin has been painted and blushed, with those little marks on it that birches and aspens get. I made those dimensional by using a little grainy acrylic texturing gel.
Then it was just a question of popping her wig on... and she was done! She's a ton of fun to photograph and her body takes some getting used to in the posing department but I love her expression.
I probably won't bother making clothes for her. Trees don't wear clothes! With Autumn coming up, I will need to finish her other wig- the golden Aspen in full glory!
Hello Rosslyn! Just a quick note to say that your creations are amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo life-like, I would expect to see them move out of the corner of my eye (and secretly, would hope they would!) I stumbled across your site, and this image, while trying to help myself visualize a character concept I had for a RPG my son is running. You mention that you planned to create an autumn wig for her, but I can't find any photo of it on your site. If you did get around to that project, I would LOVE to see how it turned out, since that's exactly how I envision my character. Thank you, and be well!
