chocolate doll soup. franken-deer is now dyed! the result isn’t perfect- there’s a lot of streaking and marbling- but it’s done, and that’s more than can be said about a lot of my projects. excited to put her back together tomorrow!

before and after. most of the work right now is just sanding, sanding, sanding. next we add a little more, then we sand a little more, then- on and on until it’s done.

but I got her all together and everything still fits. she only stood for about thirty seconds, but she didn’t fall in half. it’s a start. also, her hooves can move more now, so she can point her toes.

all together! now that she’s all dried off and assembled, you can see more unevenness in the dye job, but I did the parts in pairs so that at least each side matches. and I love how the fur on her legs came out! it looks so much better when it’s all close to the same color lol.

I added an extension inside the torso to keep the chest from falling in half (a bad habit she had before) and added some shape to the back of her hip joints to help her stand upright. I gave her some dewclaws on her ankles (they won’t look like this in the end, I have to put fur on), and then I added her new ear bases over where I sanded off her ears. The bases will be painted eventually to blend in, but she’ll have long hair and I wanted the ears to poke out and be mobile.

she’s three different resin colors, so she’ll be dyed a tan and/or brown eventually, and then painted since she’ll have a bunch of additive mods. then she’ll need a faceup, eyes, and wig, (though I might already have her eyes,) and possibly some extra fantasy parts added if I can acquire or make them. looking forward to this! :)

tiny adjustments are complete, I think, so her hooves, ankles, and lower legs are done. I shored up the neck mod and sanded down the ear bases so that they look nice and even. finally, I sanded off the mods I put on the back of her hip/thigh joints. they didn’t work as well as I’d hoped, and I have a better idea.
