skwonk 8,176 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 I try and think of a name or a backstory character from a recent read or something of the sort so decided on Sunniva, the late wife of Beobrand from the Bernicia Chronicles by Matthew Harffy. Admittedly the bust is more Celtic than Saxon and I'm not sure whether to go with the fair hair of the character. I did think of calling her 'Elspeth of Nottingham' from the track by Focus (please, no music drifts, I'm fully aware of the track) but that seems a bit later Mediaeval. The primer has now dried so it'll be a base skin tone on the morrow. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skwonk 8,176 Posted March 17 Author Report Share Posted March 17 Despite my insistence on wearing Pusser's thicks I tested positive for 'the vid' on Monday and again this morning so bench time has took a bit of a back burner. i managed to do some time yesterday and got as far as this; a base skin tone and the eyes. I will now check all my socks for holes in them so as not to allow any further infiltration of said virus. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Noser 3,548 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Great work! The eyes are stunning! Are they painted or decals? really makes them stand out. Tough luck on the old Vid though, maybe things are so bad you need to upgrade your pussers black for Aircrew socks! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dixieflyer 4,388 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Sorry about the 'vid, good luck on the socks. Glad you mentioned that, I never considered that as a vector. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slightly smaller than I would have liked but they're the largest I have so I've had to give her a slightly 'eyes left' attitude. As for green socks; never old bean. 37 minutes ago, RWG686 said: Hope your years of built in Pusser's resistance keeps it on the mild side. Not too bad. The worst is over but the constant metallic taste in the mouth is ruining tea drinking She's undergoing 'woadworks' at present. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skwonk 8,176 Posted Sunday at 06:39 PM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 06:39 PM Tested negative for vid this morning despite it's last hurrah yesterday with a migraine from hell and waves of nausea. I still can't imagine how I caught it. I may have to start wearing bike clips to stop it crawling up my leg in future. Anyway, felt up to putting a base coat and wash on the hair for starters today. No idea what that line is on her face. It's not on it so must be the camera. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skwonk 8,176 Posted Tuesday at 08:38 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:38 PM I've decided she's not in the first flush of youth so started on some grey streaks in the hair although the light doesn't really show them up. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
