Very nice...so far so good!
You could always make a little peg out of apoxie sculpt and glue it to a piece of fabric for that key in the back.
I had a few Hard Hero Marvel statues back in the day. I regret letting them go now.

She gets a thong

Struggled with some problems.

On the one hand, I didn't get along with my airbrush (used on ebay) at all. Then I bought a new airbrush and suddenly everything works.
Painting skin is a real challenge. Especially if little black lint is constantly being sprayed on the statue. Air hose exchanged.

But even with the new airbrush, practicing is always the order of the day. Especially until I got the hang of it that a few isolated drops of paint don't constantly land on the statue.

Then tried new color and it looked like this:


Dragon taped up and Sonja completely cleaned again
She bathes more often than she does in the comics
Everything from the beginning.

That is the current status.







I am currently watching Youtube videos on how to paint realistic leather.
At the moment the gloves look like they are made of wood
Whenever I learn something new I apply it to this statue (Especially the face ). It's far from finished

Watch Matt's YT channel, he does the best leather. He uses a brush, five shades of color and basically dabs it on, dark to light.

Cool collection, like the WIP on the Sonya, will be following your progress.

Thank you

For now, Sonja is done.
It is my very first statue that I have painted. There were a few hurdles to overcome, but at the moment I am very happy with the result.

Better / stronger shading and lightening are missing. E.g. on the skin, hair, boots, gloves, ...
But so far, every attempt has tended to worsen it.
I still have to practice this a bit. At the moment I just lack the feeling and the eye for it.
But little by little I'll get the hang of it

(The white drybrush on the Dragon looks really good, but it gets lost in the photos )

For the colors on the statue, I used this drawing as a guide.

Your first paint project came out very well! Clean lines, no slop, nice detail on the blue dragon...you have a solid start under your belt!
Skin tones are hard, but it's just a matter of getting the paints you like and developing a method that consistently works for you. This is an excellent tutorial and it's what I go by:

I use their flesh colors and transparent paints.
...and again, find Matt's Custom Models on YouTube and watch as much as you can stand.
