so, i think i just conquered the one remaining "fault" that was bugging me about my 1/6 Anime girl collection,
a lack of credible, realistic mouth detail that could make their little faces well and truly "pop" in any lighting.
i e
erimented on my two favorite girls, laying a blending of TAMIYA COLOR RED, PINK and CLEAR RED into the depths of their mouth with a fine brush,
then framed that with straight TAMIYA PINK along their lower lips. i took this photo to proof the work,
-since close-up photos always seem to tell the stark truth on what i have gotten right and wrong in a paintjob- and, would you believe it, they look... Perfect!!!
exactly the sort of vividly luscious lips i have been struggling to figure out how to achieve for months now!!!
