Oh dear, I guess it was incredibly warped then, thats no good. I hate having to sand/modify a piece, since you cant un-do it incase you've just got it aligned wrong, etc. It makes me nervous.

She ended up very cute, anon~ she has such cute feet and ribbons, you're making me want to take home my own little bookworm for assembly~ I'm getting all excited~

I dont know what happened to your matte coating, maybe diluting it caused it to start curing itself in the bottle? thats definitely weird.

I should probably try the spirit thing then , I was prettymuch just attempting to rush to get it out of the brush before it dried, then softly rolling out the leftover sticky bits. And with that stuff, I was kind of hesitant to use any sort of thinner, since it might cause some horrid reaction and kill me through my nose.

For bara's clothes, I wanted a more silken and textured look, that would go well with gloss but wouldnt end up with a mirror polish, so I started out with my base coats of just clean color (acrylic), then added an iridescent medium with some subsequent coats, did a little dry brushing with some colors to get the gradient to stand out some more, then sealed it all with high-gloss. Her skin is matte (except the hands, I kinda messed up on that part, between that and snapping her fingers off when she tipped over and having to do a repair, they're not very pretty at all ;_; ), and I mostly used watercolor paints (thinned with rubbing alcohol) and spray-matte for her face and skin and hair to keep the softer look. I did high-gloss the eyes, so they look somewhat glasslike. The crystals are all a LOT of layers of gloss, you can almost see reflections in the sword ;_;
