Thanks for the compliment and the vote of confidence Callmemilo!
Thanks for the feedback Ahudini, I think it was the hair on Inara messing with me

Here's some more:

she needs a lot of clean-up still, but moving on to do Zoe and Wash.
Thanks for watching!

My GOD,this is STUNNING! You've captured the characters so very well! Please,if you do decide to cast this..let me know so I can start saving up!

You are obviously EXTREMELY talented!

My only criticism would be that I think Morena Baccarin has a longer neck.

Keep up the GREAT work!

Thank you very much spockboy!

I think you're right about Morena's neck, it is much more slender than the illustration would have it appear.
That's one of the funny things about going of of the drawing or the real actress

I'll give it another look and see what I can do.

I don't know if its my eyes playing tricks on me in the last photo, but it almost looks as if you changed the top of her hair to a more fanned out shape instead of it being sort of piled on top.

Great work on everything and I look forward to the finish.

SeargentSpecter · Dec 10, 2014

Thanks for all the love you guys!
Here's the next iteration:

These two were very tricky to pose together, I had to cheat a little especially where their two arms are intertwined.
Thanks to my wife who helped puzzle it out with me

More pics to follow, sorry for the poor quality of these.

SeargentSpecter · Dec 10, 2014

Hey Mowsel, I see what you're seeing on Inara's head, it does look fanned out in the pic, I'll try to send out a better shot of her.
I did accentuate the lines in her hair to make them pop more that would be realistic to match the illustration.

We've got a nice camera avaliable from my wife's work, we plan posting some decent shots soon.

Thanks for watching!

This cannot, I repeat, CANNOT end as a one off! Legions of fans would want this amazing piece on their shelves!! First a resin kit for the die-hards (like me!) and then a limited pre-painted figure series ("collect the whole set")!

Thank you again, Ahoudini!

Here I'm getting a start on Jayne, using Sculpy, and I'll use sculpting wax on top of that like the other figures.

Best,

Here's Shepherd Book's progress....

(Janye is probably the hardest of all the sculpts, since he has so much going on with his costume, and the Adam Hughes drawing is very vague with some of the detail)

Since i did start on Shepherd first anyways I continued on with him in the mean time looking up reference for Jayne's arsenal.
