The Precognist: Zsuzsa in Progress (2)

The eyes I ordered for Zsuzsa arrived a couple weeks ago. Yesterday the snakeskin vinyl for her tail came in the mail (so I'll be getting to work on actually building her tail soon), along with the metallic micropearl powders I'd ordered to do her faceup. So today I sat down and gave it a whirl. It's been a long time since I painted a doll, and I can't do realistic faceups to save my life. Thankfully, Zsuzsa's species doesn't have eyebrows or eyelashes (the only hair on their bodies is the stuff on top of their heads, and even that is very, very fine), so they paint them on, and more powerful (eg: richer) ones like Zsuzsa and Jisszhurat (and one of the baddies from the story) mix powdered metals in with their face paints (or at least, that's the current style). And that painted-on look is something I can pull off.

She's not wearing her coin belt in these - she's just wrapped in a bit of scarf - but it works well enough for now.

I've never used the Volks Zoukeimura Finishing spray on a head before, and it's interesting. Feels VERY weird on my fingers. The spray acted up a bit in a couple spots, and it looks like she's got some very old, subtle scarring on her face. I actually kind of like the effect, so it'll stay for now - at least, until I decide to either take another crack at her face or pay someone else to do a professional job on her. ^___^
