More lighting experiments with my CW 2003-inspired Anakin and Padme figures. Imagine they are on a secret mission to Ilum, exploring an ice cave, then get snowed in….and 'have' to spend some quality time together. 😉✨

I wanna give y'all a taste of the pain I've been enduring the past week.
So, I'm getting into figure collecting, and my first professionally made figure was Limtoys Gunslinger, also known as our beloved Mr. Morgan.
But being a Morston fanboy, I can't just leave Arthur alone with Bojack (the horse. He's custom painted, forgive the scratches, he needs some more work done.)
So I got to work on designing my own John as I'm too impatient to wait for one to be made. Plus, I figured it would be a chance to do a young John, a John that will be specifically mine. A pretty boy John if you will, because I'm a shameless fucking fanboy.
I got to work on the head annnnd...
Little disclaimer, I used a pre-made face and basically just built upon it with baking clay to get his features. Finished it up with makeup, paint, etc. Hair piece is entirely custom and hand-made.
I know he doesn't look as sharp as Arthur, but I loved him regardless, was super proud of myself and SO FUCKING READY for his body to come in the mail so I could put him all together.
There's just one issue.
The head I used as a base for John? It was an Emma Watson face sculpt.
So, the head was intended for a female body.
I did not take this into consideration at any point until-
Sigh.
So he looks like Adam Driver fucked a Giraffe, but I can fix it, right?
Well, I don't think I can. I have to start over. I've tried everything to get it to look right on that body and it just won't (not to mention he's beefy as hell and that ALONE is making me struggle to view this figure as John, but I don't think it's that bad. Under clothes you won't be able to tell.)
So yeah. I'm starting over. From scratch, with not pre-made face sculpt to go off of.
He's currently at that Five Nights at Freddy's bare animatronic flavor of terrifying, but hey, I did it once, right? Maybe I can do it again...
Maybe, I can finally bring little John to life.
And not shed a single tear in the process.
