Well my first build thread on here.

This is a 1/10 bust called Athena, by FeR, part of their Woman series.

I am very slow at painting, and with the warm weather finally here, it will be even slower. Can’t remember when I started this, but it was probably a coup,e of months ago, with a break to do the alien girl.

So enough waffle, here is progress so far.

First is the owl that sits (rather awkwardly IMHO) on her shoulder (you will have seen this in the My portfolio thread.

And her hair

And her eyes. Normally quite good with eyes, but for whatever reason I’ve struggled with these. Here is version 6 or 7

I suppose I shouldn’t worry so much about them as they as only 1.5mm wide (iris’) and can’t see the issues with the mark 1 eyeball.

Now don’t hold you breath waiting for the next update, but I’ll post when I have some significant progress.

Any comments welcome.

Hi Jay
So far, so good. The owl is stunning. Eyes are never easy but hers are excellent. Hair too is very nice. I look forward to the rest.

You will never bore anyone with work like this. I keep hovering my finger over the ‘buy now’ button on this one but I am not sure I could manage all that flesh. I can only just get away with a small face.

I know, you’ll be too busy knocking them figures out
The eyes are superb - well worth the effort.
Cheers Peter

Go on, press that button, it’s just small areas of flesh joined together

Absolutely wonderful Jay. The palette of whites and reddish browns is very harmonious - Athena and the owl seem to merge as if they're metamorphosing.

Sublime choice of colours Jay, as Peter said before. One to be proud of.

Cheers Peter, not consciously thought about the colours, other than the sash being on the opposite side of the colour wheel.

Cheers Guy, not sure I enjoyed painting this one, but pleased with the result.

Beautiful - both birds!
LOL, cheers Andy
