Description First casting of Amy. This is pretty much what a figurine looks like
after first being pulled from the mold. If the mold has been made properly, the seams can be removed with sand paper and an exacto knife very easily. All off the little nibs sticking out of her body are from exit holes where the sprues were placed. These usually take a moments sanding to get rid of also. I'm fairly happy with how she came out.

This is...beyond impressive. The frills on her outfit...gah, can't look away! X3

How long does it take you to make something like this?

Gotta cast the tails, then clean up seam lines and sand down some defects. Six copies, so that'll take a week. Then yes, PAINT!

Looks as though she's just looked down and noticed she's been turned to stone. Almost a shame to paint her.

Nice concept [knowing the art you've done in the past], but I think most everyone will like the finished colors. Gotta go cast the rest over the next 2 days now!
