Lady Stoneheart - Prepwork II

Save for a handful of "points of detail" to be sculpted and/or refined (e.g., button, lacing, etc.), the hair, and final finishing, Lady Stoneheart can be deemed completed! 

There is still a considerable amount of work to be done, but this falls in the "prepping the canvas" category, as opposed to prepping the figure. You might ask, "What's the difference?" A very good question! The prepping of any well-designed and cast figure--such as this--should be virtually nil; however, prepping the surface using the proposed paint scheme--and palette!--as your guide is a largely overlooked step in the pre-prime prepwork. This bust is all about the "prepping of the canvas"!  

I am hoping to have this bust on the painting bench within the fortnight. . . 

Stay tuned!

31.08.2017-- Hair is all-but-done. Once the hair is completed, I will proceed with detailing the areas of the visible scalp.

01.09.2017-- Button done.

02.09.2017-- Final finishing underway. . .  

05.09.2017-- Lady Stoneheart is DONE!
