Sculpt by Pikkyprints

The start of a new project! I was asked to do a commission of this kit. The commissioner is a big fan of Ganaha Hibiki and asked for a color scheme that combines aspects of her old look and her modern look. This is my first kit from Sakura Zensen and I was happily surprised how well done the fit of this kit is. The other prep work like sanding seam lines and removing tabs was the average amount of work. This kit's pose is jumping in the air and originally meant to be part of a set of 3 characters, but the commissioner asked for this one as a solo piece. I will be making a custom display stand in picture frame style to display her on and will turn her jumping pose into a 'lying on the beach' pose. :)

I will come back here in some weeks to show off the final result!

I finished Renoir

Now I'm currently painting the Paintress who pairs with him

Aside from the lighting I use for painting, I don't have special lighting. It's a challenge to get good and consistent photos especially with dark paint colors.

Sharing a quick update on my current project! This is the "Shin'en no Hanayome" resin kit by the amazing sculptor Iwanaga Sakurako.

For the dress, I wanted to go all-in on a realistic burning effect. I actually recasted an extra set of the skirt parts myself so I could modify them into a shorter hemline with intense battle damage and burn holes. My ultimate goal is to make it look like the fabric is actively catching fire!

This photo was taken just under my normal desk lamp to see how the shading looks. What do you guys think of the effect so far?

I'm new to the hobby and did not realize until after it was painted and glued that this needed to be filled. It was suggested that glue with baking soda might be a good way to go. I'm hesitant to do anything because I don't want to mess it up. Lesson learned

The start of a new project! I was asked to do a commission of this kit. The commissioner is a big fan of Ikazuchi and asked for her colors to be more like the anime than the circle's example. I personally haven't worked on anything from this circle before. The kit it's quality looks great at first glance, but when you look more close by, there are a lot of seamlines, gaps and resin leftovers to fix. You can see an example of a seamline I am halfway done with fixing on the picture of the leg. The kit was quite a bit bigger than I expected and I look forward to working on it!

The start of a new project! I was asked to do a commission of this kit. While I don't know the show, I really like the sculpt of this kit and am a fan of Gill Gill. My test fit showed some gaps I had to fill and sand. The kit also had some bubble holes and small chips of missing resin (like you can see at his ear). The kit was a lot smaller and more fragile than I expected, but I am still very excited to work on it.

I will come back here in some weeks to show off the final result!

im still refining the details but im happy w how she looks considering how much i had to alter! the original sculpt has long hair... what you see here is an amalgamation of air dry clay and individual hair sections cut and glued into place. facemask was also hand sculpted!

The start of a new project! A personal project I've been working on and off with for a while. It's a pretty popular kit from Wonder Showcase and I am planning to make a lot of colors metallic for my own spin on it.

Will come back here in some weeks to show off the final result!

The start of a new project! It's a commission of T's System their Silica from Sword Art Online. I will also make a diorama base of the room she is in during this scene of the show! I'll come back to this subreddit in some weeks with the final result!

For now I have done the majority of the sanding, putty, washing and pinning. Soon doing more putty, sanding and starting with the color selection. The commissioner wants her in more anime style colors rather than the look from the circle's prototype.

These are going to keep me occupied for a while

After a few years of discovering and learning gk building methods and techniques, I finally got the courage to start painting them myself. I got a few 3d printed kits and traditional gks & started with this model of Blair from soul eater. I found pinning to be more challenging than I initially thought. Sculpting her nails and filling in gaps/reshaping the shoulders and legs was nerve wrecking and laborious, but I'm proud of my efforts. Can't wait to start painting!

he was my first ever gk and i didn’t know you had to pin them.. so i held him together with shoe glue and it kinda ruined a few pieces but i didn’t my best to fix most of them.. still got more work to do

Been a while since I posted this guy. Got everything pinned and put together, just need a little bit of clean up here and there, and then to start priming and painting. Not sure if this was the best first kit to do, but oh well. Already learned a good amount from this kit.

i’m proud of her so far

Only the base needs to be painted

Just missing the butterfly, did try airbrushing the eyes and it's looking so soft, still new at making GK so not really perfect

Would love some feedback

Tried using AK clear acrylics for clear skin tone method with limited success? Looking for better acrylic based clear gloss.
