Tahrey: Is this the point where she discovers that a bathtub full of Bug Musk is actually incredibly volatile and violently flammable even in liquid form let alone when filling an enclosed area with vapour?
Tahrey: BTW don't forget she's digitigrade here, that's worth about a whole head with sufficiently large (ie feline/canine...) feets... so legs may end up looking disproportionately large if the character is otherwise adapted to plantigrade locomotion but is standing that way for effect or w/e
Tahrey: ASW: But how will you mass produce them? :(
Also, dont' worry about purple sculpey or whatever, just bake it hard then paint it :D
Alternatively: Red, blue, a touch of white, knead knead knead. Worked OK back in our Fimo days.
Tahrey: (and don't forget the brown-with-bronze-edging underdress / tunic, though that can probably either be omitted for bathroom/slobbing-round-the-house use, and obtained/made independently by those who want to wear the outfit in public... the edging for that can be used on the hood as well for extra Authenticity™ I suppose...)
Tahrey: oh and the belt of course, but that's just a case of talking to a bathrobe manufacturer and asking if you can get a batch with a green cloak but brown belt.
Tahrey: A load of green roes, a load of brown fabric of similar texture, and some light green ribbon. Get your scissors and sewing kit out.
It's a fairly simple design really so it might not actually cost that much extra to just have someone use an electric fabric cutter and a sewing machine to make the right shape from the brown fabric, cut out the appropriate bits of the robe, then fasten the two parts together and stitch on the ribbon.
Or even just add ribbon to robe, and make the hood a wholly separate piece as originally drawn? That would be way cheaper and easier. You may even be able to buy the hoods ready-made.
Anyway, Gold to SomeDork (reminds me of Heimdall, or maybe some other vikingy thing I saw somewhere), joint Silver to CptLackwit, POMA and KFSG (the latter is somewhat Ghibliesque, oddly), honourable Bronze to tronn because I want to see that zip opened. Respect to all entrants.
Tahrey: Still waiting for an actual film about a female secret agent who works this kind of way, rather than being a crossgendered Bond/Bourne/Indy expy (Salt, Hanna, Lara)...
Well, at least, one that isn't actually a thinly disguised porno, or an ensemble/novelty piece like RED...
Tahrey: Storm's-a-comin' in, ayup. Whaa d'ya think a'm ploughin' this here otherwaas perfickly good crop a' <HUMAN CORN> back inter th' mud, la'k?
(that IS the handle of a draft plough, yes?)
And you can still farm in the desert. You either have to make sure to time your work to what rains actually come, or adapt what you farm to the climate. There's still plenty of people who live on and make a living from the land in arid areas. Hammerfell would never have been settled otherwise.
Very nicely painted, this, and not at all uncanny (the valley only really applies to CG renderings, robots/sculptures, and hyperreal paintings or edits of photographs where something isn't quite right any more, anyway). It's less than a lack of empathy or an inability to suspend disbelief, it can actually end up weirding people out and making them not want to watch the film/show or be around the robot/statue any more. It's why shop mannequins are so creepy and why they tend, of late, to be more abstract rather than fully featured with painted faces. Coming across something that's nearly-but-not-quite human spooks us and sets us on edge, and is arguably part of why we can have an instinctive gut response to someone with serious disfigurement even though our conscious mind is howling at the subconscious to shut the hell up already. Some evolutionary thing, maybe meant to stop us mating with Neanderthals or something, or to do with aliens, who knows.
tl;dr, if you can't make something look sufficiently realistic, back off and make it more deliberately stylised instead (but don't go too far THAT way either). It's a lesson Pixar learned a while before Dreamworks did (and most animéka did before either of them), and a lot of children's TV artists (esp those who work with 3D) have yet to realise...
Also what does she intend to do with them, seeing as they're floating about 8ft in the air? Is this what the Pineapple and Yoyo Trick actually involves?
Tahrey: I think Raj may have had *something* to drink. How else would she have ended up like that?
In fact, maybe she drank it all last night and has just woken up (Kat, uncharacteristically, has managed to stay awake all that time). Her being terribly hungover on a near permanent basis would explain a lot.
Tahrey: Now there's an idea for a spinoff. Pitch it to roosterteeth immediately. Divert the merch money to developing the project. Pretty sure no-one will mind.
Tahrey: pretty certain quadriplegic was more accurate than "double amputee" seeing as he's not only lost his arms but is also doing a creditable impression of Captain Dan
Also if this happens to be the next regeneration after Capaldi we'll DEFINITELY know that Moffat's primary objective is to troll the fanbase as hard and as often as possible.
Tahrey: BR: He was quite literally introduced merely as an excuse for a double-value terrible pun, and the first we see of him, they're naked in bed together. That ship has sailed.
(His surname is "Upp". Katia spent a night of inadvisable lust with him. She "fucked up".
His middle name is "Gro". Or "grow". He often acts in a somewhat childish, fratboyesque manner even whilst pretending to be a serious adult businessman. Gharug needs to grow up.
I'm not even entirely convinced his first name isn't a triple pun of some kind that I'm not smart / well informed enough to figure out.)

No reason why she can't have a wide stance, though. I've heard it's good for swordfighting after all.

Not everything needs to be printed, yknow ;)

Also when you flail a pineapple fast enough, the yo-yo string cuts like monofilament.

Further to my comment on the other picture, this sort of action does still need to be part of it. Just not the be all and end all :)
Some stealth and slink are important.

Not bad on the realistic anatomical dimensions and shapes there btw. Did you use a model or are you just extra-arty?

Kat needs to turn around and stuff some of those potentially magika-restoring mushrooms in her mouth though.

Or maybe in Katia's case it's a special order from Dr Wondertainment, possibly even "Are We Cool Yet?"
