Well, this one was an unpleasant experience. Not just for the complexity of the design, but also because the person who requested it outright vanished. It's annoying on the simpler ones, but extremely frustrating on the really detailed ones. So, instead of doing her with the traditional basic armor, here we have the fully armored variation. Swapped out the lower legs for the old Black Widow, and gave her feet from Baroness. The head is Dagger with hair from AvacsLab. The hands themselves are from a Japanese figure, I think. Not Microman. I can't remember what it's called. But, they were a little larger and looked somewhat clawlike, so I thought they'd work great for her. The armor was done in two slow layers. The first needed more details so I smoothed it out as thin as I could, then ran my thumb over it to give it a bunch of detail lines. After the whole body was covered, I moved to the second layer. I had about nine images of differing designs to go by, but I tried to make it come out as good as I could. The legs were the hardest to get a decent angle of in the shots I was given. I applied the second layer, then sanded it all smooth, and sculpted up the sword. Glued it in place, added the gems to her hands, then gave her a full silver repaint. Did a rust drybrush to help the details on the first layer stand out a little more, but kept the top layer fully silver. An agonizing trial, but I think she came out well in the end.

Nice job, sorry to hear the customer who commissioned the work flaked out on you. Anyway, looks pretty cool, though would be nice to have some up close shots to see more of the detail.

I tried, but it doesn't come through too well. Probably my camera. It comes out just looking like a rust drybrush over a silver base. Looks great in hand, but doesn't come through well in images.
