Title: Custom Mummy "Masika"
Post by: Colorscapesart on May 15, 2013, 06:34:08 PM
Masika means "born during rain".  She is the Mummy CAM and I'm in love!!  Admittedly, I prefer her in nothing but her wrappings.

In my mind, she was a servant of Cleo's long ago.  Much to Cleo's annoyance, Masika grew up to be a very beautiful woman.  She was dismissed for that very reason.  The ladies do not acknowledge one another at all if they cross paths between classes.

Her hair is a long mohawk of sorts and very versatile!   The other side of her head is unpainted.  Thoughts?

Have you thought about doing any detailing on her body?  Maybe coloring in certain wrappings?  Maybe the one's around her bust, or.......lower area.......so that it looks like she is "wearing" something?

Totally not a criticism!  I love her just the way she is, but I've always wanted to see some detailing done on one of these girls......

Not a bad idea....I'll give it some thought, thanks! <3

She really is fabulous!  I love the how the gold symbols stand out on her.  Her hair is amazing!!!  I agree that adding a little gold here and there to her wrapping might add a bit of nobility to her.  However, she is perfect just the way she is if you don't touch her at all.  LOVE HER!! The back story is awesome too.

Omg, can she come live with me? :silly:

She is so gorgeous! Your whole concept, down to the backstory and everything, for her is just perfect! I love the repaint of her eyes and lips - those dark, rich browns, wow they're so pretty with the golden/yellow hues, as well as the new additions. Her hair styling and the heiroglyphic tattoos, that was an awesome idea, she is a stunner! I love her so much!

Oh, wow, the heiroglyphics are gorgeous!  When I come up with a good name for my mummy CaM, I may steal your idea and make heiroglyphs on her to spell out her name. :3

She is beautiful! <3 I love that you've kept her bare and used the gold accents to tie it all together. I wasn't much a fan of the Mummy CAM until now!

Gorgeous work c:

The dress she comes with really doesn't help much, does it?  I've seen it work on some other monsters, but on the mummy CaM itself, it just looks tacky.

Oh wow, she is gorgeous!  I love love love the painting on her scalp, and the long mohawk hairstyle.. ok, everything you've done with her is just perfect!

If you're planning on keeping her unclothed, I would second the idea to do some detailing on her wrappings, maybe just glazing in the crevices with a darker color to make the sculpting pop.

What kind of hair did you use on her?  Is it rooted?

The brown eyes look so much better on her than the original icy blue ones.
I actually prefer her with only little hair instead of a fully rooted head or in a  wig. The random hieroglyphs are a nice touch! Makes me want a mummy CAM and steal your idea ;)

I like the contrast of the gold in the detailing on her face to the colour of her skin. The gold stands out and highlights, but is not gaudy.

Like Justkitter said, it would be cool to see her with some detailing on her wrappings too, or were you considering dressing her in some outfit?

I think I'm in love too. :D I wasn't too wowed by this CAM when she first hit stores, but you've turned it into something amazing! She's very photogenic, what a stunner!

Post by: Colorscapesart on May 17, 2013, 07:52:43 PM
Thank you all so much!

Her hair is yarn actually.  Poofed and brushed for a lonnnnggg time. 

I might detail a few wrappings, but covering her with clothes seems..wrong.  I can't imagine an outfit that's not distracting.
Title: Re: Custom Mummy "Masika"
Post by: justkitter on May 17, 2013, 08:27:23 PM
I have two CAM Mummies for that exact reason.  I need one to be nakey ALL the time.  I don't understand covering up all those details.  My Gil is topless so that his back fin is on display.  I have an extra Skelita that is nakey too!

I wanted to customize one of my CAM Mummies by painting some "skin" between the wrappings so that the wrappings look more like.......wrappings :lol:  But then I had the doll in hand, and saw the wrappings are kinda hard to follow.  Like one big maze!  Made my head hurt trying to follow this scrap of fabric and that scrap of fabric >_<

I'd still like to see someone do some detailing on their Mummy though.

I also think I need a THIRD Mummy *cough* Masika *cough* :lol:
