Bome 01: Oni Musume

Well, decided to share some images of my Bome collection girl by girl. Best place to start is at the beginning I suppose. Oni Musume is the first of the series and makes a reappearance in other poses later on. For anyone not familiar with Bome his official site is here and his Wiki is here
anyway. I have his entire official series... So why not share? ^__^
Back to Oni Musume. I own the Blue alt version. I opted for blue because I own all the other versions of her in her traditional red/tiger color.

I apologize in advance for the poor image quality... There is something going funny with my camera

The pvc quality is not great on this one... lots of little blemishes and imperfections. It would seam a lot of these things got corrected later in the line.

Didn't take many pictures of this girl. As you can see, she is a pretty girl but you can tell she is the first. I will take more/better pictures of the other girls ^^;

PVC (preorder)

Couldn't help myself as of late when it came to some delicious PVC releases for next spring.  Ordered myself 4 of the Kotobukiya Bishoujo Collection ladies over at Hobbyfan

Girls were decently priced, and the first PVC's I have bought in forever now ^^; 

Currently have orders placed for Ms Marvel, Wonderwoman, Black Cat, and Cat woman. Images taken from hobbyfan product pages

Om nom nom nom! 

Mion & Shion Conversion (finish)

A bit late on posting the completed works from these girls (not many people read this so it doesn't matter haha!! >.<)

my finished Mion and Shion... There are some things I would have done differently if I had my time back. They are far from perfect but pretty dec for a first shot at a major conversion...
Enjoy!

Thats all for now folks ;)

Mion & Shion Conversion (finish)

Last Wip Post

So here are the last odds and ends of the Wip, it's been a long process for sure! Lots learned and lots of mistakes made. Hopefully my next conversion will be better then this one!

Anyway, on with the photos
----------------

Random bitta paint I used, different brands and colors

Went to WalMart and bought these ribbons for less then $1 a roll, they had lots of nice colors

Used the yellow for Shion's ribbon

Couple of failed test ribbons

Final Product

Mion has some gaps to fill...

and a shot of Mions pieces

Well, that's it for the Wip! Next time you see these girls they will be completely assembled.
Thanks for following!

Mion & Shion Conversion

Time for an update! Thanks to those still following, I know my progress is pretty slow!

Anyway,
So sense my last update I have gotten a fair bit done! In fact in am n to painting


One of the last mods I had to do was change the bangs. I initially sculpted all these tiny hair pieces, but in the end the bangs didn't really match the style of hair the characters have. So I scrapped them and made more "simplistic" looking bangs.

Before

 After

After some final touches, all the pieces were primed and ready for painting. I know there are some flaws in some of the parts...  

---------------
I have a lot of the painting done! In fact Shion is ready for assembly! ^___^ Unfortunately, I don't have any really fancy techniques to show you as I hand paint everything.. no airbrush! >.<

Finished hair pieces

Faces! The pupils of their eyes are actually really dark green, but you can't really tell in the pictures Used some Future floor Finish to give the eyes some shine ^^

Scatter arm! lol 

Checking out Shion's torso! :)

-----------------
I am still working on some of Mion's parts, hoping to have her finished up in the next few days!
I hit a dillema with her Tie, In the anime it's a pale green color. One the manga covers, its red! So I dug up some reference from the game! Red tie it is! (I was glad about the actually)

Thats all for now!!  

Mion & Shion Conversion

So onward with the Wip! I have managed to finish up a lot of things... Most of the pieces have they're first coat of primer, and only need some minor fixings.

Shion's got herself a shirt,

 After lots of sanding and first coat of primer

 Shion also got her self some extensions! lol. Sculpted the ends of the hair with Magic Sculpt and lots of sanding and reshaping... first coat of primer...

Mion also got the same treatment to the ends of her hair.

Both models initially had super long hair (as you can see from the first post) so I had to massively shorten both girls hair. After that I needed to shape the hair into looking like it ended where I needed it too. Shion will be getting a yellow ribbon as well...

Now... I have had lots of updates on Shion this whole time, but poor Mion has been taking the back burner in this WIP. This whole time I have been sanding and reshaping her massive skirt

In total (so far) I think I have around 6 hours of just sanding put into her skirt! not to mention the extra hours spent modeling and reshaping, adding more putty, taking it away... haha, I'll stop now!
Anyway, it's quite the daunting task. I finally have some rough work to show you!

Note: The skirt was initially built on a wire frame, I built it up using Milliput and did the rest of the work using Magic Sculpt and Bondo (to fix some stuff!)

now it looks pretty crazy with all the colors and what not but this is the rough base for the skirt... (and her shirt I guess!) 

Well, that is everything for now! more updates soon with any luck!
Thanks for watching!
