From Intimacy Male to Crystal Skin
Start, Part Two
I didn’t see until I’d already started that the Intimacy Male has several mould lines in his chest, intended to fit his odd neck cape. I filled these using Millput, as well creating more natural lines over his shoulders.
A hand (the one that will indicate his use of Acid Palms) was attached. This took a long time to get right, as the angle was rather more acute than the miniature piece intended. Plastic cement melted the two pieces together and more Milliput was used to smooth and strengthen the join.
I spent a lot of time looking at crystal formations in order to figure out how to represent ‘crystal skin’.

On his back in this photo, you can see the first crystal outcropping being glued on.
