Cancer-Free and Carefreeby =ArtyAMG

Contests / 2008 / Think Pink III

This is a photo of a uniquely customized figure, which I made and painted specifically for the THINK PINK III CONTEST for breast cancer awareness (contest submission by 10/1/08).

CATEGORY: Photography > Still Life > Dolls and Figures

TITLE: Cancer-Free and Carefree, at a San Francisco Bay Pier

********

WORK DESCRIPTION:

This photo was taken at a pier in the San Francisco Bay Area. I custom built and painted the figure in the photo. It was customized from a garage kit (GK). The figure is 1/8-scale, measuring 7-1/4" inches tall (18.4 cm), excluding the seaside rock base. Her face is about the size of thumbnail. She is entirely hand-brushed by me.

The re-sculpting work, modifications/build, assembly and paint work took over 250 hours, over a span of two years and mainly over the last nine months. For details on the re-sculpting work, please see: [link] .

The following list shows significant modifications I made to the basic GK:
- Re-sculpted the entire head and face.
- Re-sculpted her physique (transformed her from 'teen' to 'young woman'.
- Re-sculpted the skirt, cardigan, and turtleneck.
- Re-sculpted her legs and hands.
- Modified and re-shaped the front hair pieces.
- Added lots hair strands and the Belldandy signature bangs.
- Sculpted pink hair ribbon, for the themed contest.
- Sculpted the tiniest pink ribbon on dA (it's on her cardigan).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: I am fortunate to have ~annya12345's help in improving the color design.

The 'strawberry blonde' hair color was the preferred choice among my dA friends/watchers.
Thank you sooo much to all of you who have supported me in this project.

I thought it was barbie when I first seen it then I relised it was to awesome for that.
I really like the way you took the picture..

250 hours on a doll thingy is insane btw.(or in my view) I could never stay focused on aproject for that ammount of time.
