<\/a><\/p>\nRummaging through my box of heads to see if I had anything that could work, I found the head for Playtoy Emily Steam\/Steam Girl. Though it’s a little narrow around the jaw, the nose, the cheekbones, the baggy eyes, and the smirk looked workable.<\/p>\n
I originally thought I could paint her a peachy tone and start a faceup from there. However, the more that I looked at the features, the more that the large, plush lips bothered me. Jo has a long philtrum and a relatively small narrow lower lip that is tallest in the center. I mocked up how I might want to paint her distinctive BIG eyes and also marked offensive areas to remodel.<\/p>\n I realized that I needed to remodel the lips, so I removed all that peachy paint from the previous picture. I took a nail file to the upper edge of her upper lip and the lower center edge of her lower lip [as shown by arrows below]. I had to scrape the whole upper lip area so that it was even. The obvious difference in color between sanded and unsanded areas will be evened out when I paint all that nauseating greyish greenish brownish skin with a slightly more alive-looking peach.<\/p>\n I added some bulk to the back and sides of her jawline.<\/p>\n I also started modding the Spin Master Liv body. I removed the original hands and added Hot Toys ones, painted to match. I bulked up the original neck and painted to match. I removed some plastic around the elbow joints to increase range of motion.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
