No need for apologies. This is a hobby to be done in our spare time and to me the only true modeling deadlines are the comission builds and even those can wait when more important things happen. I hope Mrs Toshi is doing better.
It so happened just yesterday afternoon I get a call that my wife was in the hospital. I finally was able to contact her on the phone and told me she was having terrible abdominal pains to the point she passed out at work and had to be transported by Fire Rescue. I promptly made it to the hospital to be with her. After about 4 hours and a bunch of testing, bloodwork and scans, the doctor had no clue as to why she had such a severe esophagus spasm.
I'm no doctor but suspect the early development of an ulcer. She has a very stressful job and she has gone thru a lot first with the death of my parents, later her dad and now dealing with her mom's Alzheimer's. We have been married for over 30 years and I too have spent half of my life time with her and freaked out when I got the call.
Things are better, her pain is gone and she made an appointment with a specialist for some GI work.
Now back to modeling....The figure looks good but I offer you a couple of suggestions. First make up a wash with umber or a reddish brown paint and do a pin wash of the facial folds. This will produce shadows on the face and ears. Then do a black pin wash on the uniform to get the clothing folds. Lastly, once everything is dry, go back with a sligthly lighter uniform color (add a drop or two of white to the base coat) and lightly drybrush the high spots on the clothing and cap. This will create more tonal variance and will break up the darker color.
