140328 Mask progress updates

I adjusted the inside of Ichigo's mouth and added her tongue and teeth




I installed Reimi's eyes, eyelashes, and eyebrows. I also installed her padding. All that's left is to install/style the wigs and install the strap at the back.
I made the previous version of Erika into a new original character called Maiko. I wore her on cam in KCS Tinychat for a bit.

Leoji on KCS, who is from Medicine Hat, is driving out to my place to try out kigging. We are planning to kig at a cosplay gathering as well as possibly at a club. Lura is also going to be coming over to kig with us at my place.

I also ordered another set of wigs along with Maiko's so I can make the first version of Erika into a different character as well.

140316 Mask progress updates

I have assembled Reimi and more or less finished painting her (I might touch up a few spots yet).









I made Ichigo's nose narrower, moved her chin back, and rounded the edges of her lips as well as making them flatter.





I also re-painted the previous version of Erika. I have ordered some wigs for her already, and will be making her into a different OC.

140307 Mask progress updates

I have now finished printing Reimi. I got the replacement heater installed on the other printer, although I only managed to print one segment on it (the first print I attempted on it failed because the filament broke, which wouldn't have been a problem because I stopped it right away after that, but the firmware was set to release the lock on the motors after a minute, so the extruder got moved when I put the filament back in; I have now set it to keep the motors locked indefinitely).

I have also started on a full custom of Sayaka Miki from PMMM for Sofa499 on KCS. She is going to be a full-head mask with solid hair. I am using Ichigo as a starting point because she is vaguely similar (even though she's not finished, I will have to change the shape quite a bit, so it shouldn't matter). Currently I haven't actually made any changes to the shell, but I do have the very beginnings of the hair.

Of course, I've still been working on Ichigo as well. I adjusted the shape of the mouth and nose (I think the nose shape should maybe be tweaked a bit more though), and cleaned up the chin and back edge. There are still some more things that need cleaning up but I think the general shape is pretty good now.
