Percival Up for Adoption on Ebay MRSBO

May I introduce to you Percival (under no circumstances may you call him "Percy" because of a pending lawsuit from the unfortunate couple with whom I most regrettably forgot to warn). Percival is currently residing in Mrs. Blathersby's Orphanage (MRSBO) and just cannot wait to find a new home with lovingly dedicated parents. Percival's story is a rather sad tale. He was brought to the orphanage earlier this year after his parents met with an unfortunate boating "accident." Now our poor little chap has become somewhat of an expert on maritime disasters. Percival can tell you about every single recorded major disaster at sea from memory (and I must suggest you pay attention). Percival is only five years old and I firmly believe you are the just the loving home he needs. At such a tender age, there is still hope for little Percival.

Update: Violet WIP

I just finished painting Violet. She has a tiny smile starting on one corner of her mouth. Perhaps she has some nasty little plan cooking up on that snake brain of hers. Rust never sleeps. At any rate, in order to get to this stage I added a few coats of Golden modeling paste and sanded the surface smooth. Then I proceeded to paint her flesh tones and features. I was going to give her dark brown hair, but I really liked the black undercoat so much that I decided to just keep it black. I used Diamond Glaze on her eyes and lips to complete Violet's features. Her arms are finished but I am going to wait a few hours before I remove the masking tape to attach them. I've learned to wait overnight to let the acrylic paint cure. Even though it may seem dry to the touch, it is still fragile. I painted white stockings and simple black Mary Jane style shoes on her legs and feet. Later today, I plan on making her dress. I'll post more pictures later.
