Shinx Evolution for Dashesndots (Videogame swap)

[Eluluu]

ok, so for starters, my partner had some awesome choices on her list, among which was a GINORMOUS list of pokemon. i was in the mood to make something a little simpler so i could just have a nice quick swap project so pokemon it was! i settled on Luxray, cuz... awesomeness... and i knew early on i was prolly gonna make a second custom instead of adding extras, cause thats how i roll...

but then i got to thinking... the extra would prolly be Shinx, cause adorbs... but then... theyd have two of the three forms... so... why not...

make all 3? who needs fast easy swaps anyways? =3

luckily they went insanely fast, which was a pleasant change of pace for me. i typically take forever to get in the mood to CREATE, so its usually a last minute rush with no sleep and much stress. blah blah blah enough words, on to pics! (which i actually dont have too many of this time around. oops. one downside to working fast is i kinda space on proper photoshooting, so feel free to add more pics later on dash!)

they all had their ears lobbed off and resculpted, tails wired, rooted, and sculpted on, and their various fluffybits sculpted on, the rest was all paintwork =]

i tried to save time and asked Mr Elu to prime them for me when i was at work so i could start painting as soon as i got home... little did i know his lack of artistic ability reached to simple priming too. lol ended up taking up 3 more days of sanding, acetoning away drips and puddles, repriming, more sanding, initial paintwork just to find more "leprocy", acetoning, and careful priming and more sanding before i was able to live with the remaining bumps in the paintwork. he kept saying 'i told you so' but im sure with more practice, SUPERVISED practice, he'll be able to handle at least priming for me haha!
