Description
Full view please ♥check out all the details and flaws
This is my half of a trade with the amazing frenziiied
of her super cute Ba'al!
and he has a super-cool mask thing which was quite
difficult to make look... not horrible & when I painted it,
I didn't have a super detailed reference for it so I just
kinda went with it. Hopefully that's not a total failure
But yes, I quite enjoyed making this. I literally started
& scrapped five other pieces before I came up with this
idea & I have to say, I'm definitely glad I didn't use any
of the other's... they were pathetic.
i hope you don't hate this, Frenz, ahhhh
edit;;
fixed face & mask
i hate my life
Thank you to anyone who chooses to comment/fav. Your
feedback means the world to me! ♥
& of course, to the wonderful stock providers ♥

Omg I adore this holy crap!
That mane and tail are KILLER. They look really painterly, but absolutely fantastic and fit the piece seamlessly.
Heck yeah

okay so hopefully this isn't too repetitive because I noticed other people have pointed this out but THE HAIR oh my god I love the way it looks. Sometimes I'm not a big fan of painted-looking hair on manips (personal preference, bit of a realism fan myself) BUT DAMN you just did it so well I might become a convert.
And a great overall job as well

wow, thank you! i wasn't sure how to feel about the hair in this one, my style is always changing but i guess i should stick with this one after all this positive feedback! ♥ and i agree, masks ARE a pain, i really tried to keep the right face shape with this so i'm glad it turned out alright
