the making of'

steps in making my full body entry to the steampunk pageant.
they are, in broad terms, as follows:

- edit the base to make the pose that i want. chop off some limbs and add ones from different poses of the same base set. flatten the color and get rid of most of the face.
- cover that shit up with a sketchy suit. change the body some more, mostly the arms and hands.
- clean up the lines and tweak things that look strange or could be improved.
- mix the colors.
- shade the fabric portions of the suit first.
- boots and copper tones.
- all the rest.
