Jessica -- Prep #2

I have already sculpted--and am in the process of finishing--an integral pedestal to support the bust. The remaining prepwork is entirely at the discretion of the miniaturist. 

I decided to do the following:

• Enhancement of the dorsal surface of the pinna: the back of the ears are essentially featureless. DONE
• Extend the torn shoulder strap of the dress with MS. This creates more depth and dimensionality to the bust. DONE
• Undercut all layered surfaces as necessary--notably, the right shoulder strap of the dress. DONE
• Enhance the edges of the wound with MS. DONE
• Add distressed areas of flesh on the face. DONE
• Tear one of the earlobes? DONE

 
Aside from these minor enhancements, the bust will be essentially stock. 

Back to it! 

UPDATE 14.10.2013. . . Jessica is now in the oven drying, and, barring any oversights on my part, will be primed within 24 hrs. [UPDATE: She is now primed and in the oven curing! Tomorrow, I break out the brushes!!]
