Vaporeon and Pyroar for Uninu (Nintendo Swap)

[Eluluu]

So Uni finally got my much delayed swap package. =] I was worried sick something would happen to it en route. her list was all pokemon, many of which were on my list as well- so it was a blast making them. Vaporeon was a lot of firsts for me, and has her share of issues, but overall im pleased with how it turned out.

the tail is made of an armature of a thick wire hanger and aluminum foil, then sculpted over with Magic Sculpt - my first time working with the stuff. definitely handles better than my usual Green Stuff- but way better, and infinitely lighter! the thinner fins, back ridges, and head frills are supported with a few different sizes of Jewelry wire.

I was tempted to do a more realistic paintjob but decided in the end to go with a more simplistic paintjob to match the artstyle of the character. tho I caved and added a bit of minimal shadeing and highlighting for a touch of depth.

still not entirely thrilled with how the eyes came out. went a bit anime with the lashes and in hindsight regretted the decision, but didn't have enough time to reblend the bodytone and redo it. but im pleased with how the mouth turned out haha I wanted to get a bit of tongue showing in that adorable Vape smile!

miscalculated a bit when laying out the ruff, and made it a bit too large but again didn't have time to rip it all out and resculpt (as by that time I was already running behind from a bunch of family drama- mainly my father ending up in the hospital with diabetes) but in the end decided it wasn't TOO ridiculously huge. =/

after a bit of work, the secondary pony- Pyroar (female) was soon outshining the primary, more complicated, vaporeon (at least to me) the ears were trimmed and resculpted, added a fur ruff at the hips and chest, and the tail was wired and sculpted. had a lot of paint crackling when I rehaired her that needed some patching up but in the end it didn't turn out that bad.

You blow my mind.

That Vaporeon is to die for and Pyroar's simplistic style is amazing. Hereyes are beautiful but I also love VP's too and I think the eyelashes look perfect on her. Lucky Uni!
