Final WIP: X-Factor Marvel Girl

X-Men Month continues with a mostly-complete Jean Grey in her X-Factor uniform. I’ve had two days of WIPs, so what else is there to say? One might notice that the upper torso looks a bit different. I did some comparison to my Phoenix custom, with the torso ball joint, and noticed the upper body was sitting too high. Ergo, I yanked out the female joint in the lower body and lowered it by a few millimeters.

I’m not satisfied with the linework here, but it’s yellow, and the more I try to correct it, the more it’s going to pile up and get a texture I don’t want. I painted big yellow lines, then used a red sharpie to define the borders of the X.

Also, I don’t like the hair. The main bulk of it is great, as it’s from the Phoenix figure and can’t be improved on. But I tried to cover a gap on the right side with other hair, from the original Sniper Wolf head and from some Psylocke stuff I had sitting around. But it’s too obviously separate pieces, and I need to do something to link them together. Maybe I’ll add some Green Stuff if I’m ever working with it on other figures.
