[Diabolical]

Mary Jane - Well it is the same head Hasbro used! I was talking to a friend about her who told me he basically hated it and that the outfit didn't make sense. My thought process was basically I looked at the figure and felt it had a fashion feel to it, something out of the ordinary that a model might wear. I had tried a few color schemes before settling on the one I used which was basically a blend of the Hasbro black and brown with Spider-man's blue and red. I personally think it turned out awesome and the flaws you see are virtually non existent in person...with exception of her head.

Her head. First off.. I don't think I'm ever going to produce beautiful faces. It's gotten me so frustrated that I don't feel like it's really worth my time or effort. I probably spent 2 full days on the MJ head alone. I got one eye surprisingly decent and spent the rest of the time trying to get her other eye to match. The cycle basically went like.. paint a white eyeball.. paint black outline.. line was too fat.. try to scrape it away thin.. scrape too much. add more black.. black ran into her white eye.. add more white.. the white smeared this would repeat over and over.. several times i would be happy with the eye then time to add the iris and pupil.. the green was too thin and filled the whole eye.. time to start over.. or the iris was fine but the black dot was too big. I kept trying to fix one mistake or another and the paint would build up to the point where there was no other choice but to scrape it all off clean it up with some paint thinner and start over.

One time i got it where I was satisfied and decided to add dullcoat in case any flesh tone ran into the eye while I was fixing that.. because that had happened to me and I had to start over.. so putting on the dullcoat I screwed up the eye again and had to start new. Well that's just the short story of it.

I finally got it to the state it is now.. a bit rough and with one eye slightly bigger than the other. I've seen worse from Hasbro. With that said she really doesn't look bad in person. If I hold her up close to my face I see the roughness, but even then I'm not really disappointed; At arms length her face stops looking rough.
I really dig the figure though. I can see how you and others might not see it the same way, it's a bit out there.. but to me is very MJ and the head fits better on that body than on the Marvel Universe one!

Anyway I appreciate the input
