Trying this again since the filters didn't like my first attempt.
Commissions started in late January, finished yesterday. Purple took 36 hours and white took 39. It only lets me upload 20 images so you can find the rest of them in my portfolio.

This was my first time doing full on bikini kits! I'm glad I had worked down a nice system for painting pale skin beforehand. They're each 1/6 scale and about 30cm tall. Since the overall design was quite simple, I tried something new when coloring that was inspired by all the Chinese painters I follow. Using very dramatic gradients and slight hue changes with clear color paint. Machi's art is so cute and I love the line of kits being made from it, so I'm very happy I got to paint these.

Started this set in late January and finished them last night! They're 1/6 scale and both about 30cm tall. Was my first time doing full on bikini kits, I usually lean a lot more into detail heavy ones. Due to the extreme simplicity, I decided to try out something new when coloring. It was using heavy gradients to exaggerate the colors, based on how a lot of artists in China paint. Also using clear colors to provide slight shifts in hue and make the pieces more interesting.

There's a couple images I can't upload due to the limit, so you can see all of them on my personal portfolio https://cordaterain.com/gallery/

Newest finished commission. Completion time was 36 hours.

A very fun kit! Surface prep and painting were quite easy, but the assembly was the real killer. There's no instructions on how she's supposed to be put together, and she is a very ordered puzzle. With the rise of popularity for color printed figures growing around 3D sculptors, it's very nice to see it be combined with a garage kit. I'm hoping more artists will take advantage of the technology to make future kits a lot more interesting.

Newest finished commission!

I liked this kit quite a lot, it had a multiple firsts for me. First time working on one that had some seams already sanded and gaps puttied, largest scale so far (1/5.5), and inset eyes. The biggest hurdle is definitely the assembly with how compact everything is. This was a 36 hour completion, the section taking the longest being her shoe ribbons.
