Upgrading Vargas

[Trethowan]

I bought a new body for Vargas. I'm upgrading him from six feet to ten. The plush body will be stronger and can handle the armature I bought nearly two years ago. His old body is made of ladies' stockings. The plush body will show a few more creases than the thinner stocking material but it will show fewer lumps so I think overall it's a win.





I haven't done anything with this poor guy in ages. I've got this insane stack of heads that need face-ups and I haven't even glued Jim's head cap back on. But yeah... sure, why not add more to the doll project list! haha

Well, that was fast. A certain someone took a super long nap and I was able to finish this in one sitting. (that never happens)



I took his legs out so he'd bend all the way to his hips. Attached the armature with elastic (hope it doesn't pop off) and glued the body on. I hot-glue sueded his joints while I was at it. His resin is so slick it's hard to get him to hold poses.



Ta-da! Vargas is finished. I like this better. His belly is now different from his back. I think it's a great improvement. And look! He can coil!!! <3 Gah, he's so cute.

Damn, none of your pics are working for me, Treth. This happens sometimes for some reason. Got any direct links? I wanna seeeeeee!

[Trethowan]

HA!!!


Ah, I'm sorry Okami. You can see 'em all on my Facebook. It's a public account. Linkies in my sig. Maybe that will work? I don't think you have to have FB to see stuff that's posted on it publicly. (I could be wrong.)

The pics work for me, and Vargas looks awesome!

Nice work.

They work on my phone. It's my computer, I already knew that. I was having issues with popups for a hot minute, so I went crazy with the custom filters on my ad blocker. I need to fix it so pictures show up from certain hosts. But Vargas looks great, and the last pic is hilarious.

[Trethowan]

Thanks guys!

I forgot to put the rattle in his tail. /sad. It was cute, but it would have been really hard to worm it all the way to the tip through all the plush. Oh well, it's not that huge of a deal. Maybe I'll sew a rattle to the tip later.

Vargas definitely has a new attitude.
