Art Project - Day 3

I am a huge fan of the Japanese band Balzac, so that was my reason for even starting this customizing project. I finally started the detailing of the figure, but it took quite a few starts and restarts. I didn't like how the way the acrylic paint was drying, so I tried it four or five different timess using varying degrees of paint and water ratio. I ended scrapping the white acrylic paint and used the Sharpie paint marker. That worked a lot better and used the black acrylic paint for detailing and touch ups. I finished the face and I did the best that I could, since the face of the figure is set up a tad bit differently than the original illustration. I'll add more of the smaller details at the end. Here is what I have so far:

I also added the bones on the sides of the arms and legs. I decided to copy the cartoonish bones similar to the Balzac Bearbrick figures. I still have to add the bones of the ribcage on the front of the figure's chest, but I'll do start that tomorrow.

I wanted to wish everyone a very safe and happy New Year! Here's to a great 2007!
