Catwoman from Ebay

[Quaralane]

Here we have a "Catwoman" resin model I picked up off Ebay awhile back.
I liked the sculpt, but had no intentions of ever using her as the "real" Catwoman, Selina Kyle.

While looking for a fairly easy project, I decided to finally have a go at her.
After some seam cleaning and other prep, I put her together pretty much as intended. Although I did file down her rather prominent nipples to better give the illusion of her being clothed.
The only addition I made was her tail, which was made from some wrapped wire used for fake flower stems.

Her color scheme was something that just came to me on a whim, and from knowing I wasn't going to do her as the "traditional" Catwoman.

Very interesting take on the Catwoman, very unique!

It looks like you used a washing process over your basic colors, the result looks similar to fired ceramic. Can you tell us a little more about your process?

Prost!

All right, here goes.
Main suit was given a wash of black paint, mixed with Future.
The hair was given a wash of a custom purple mix, as was the tail.
Most of the "glaze" look is coming from the coat of semi-gloss I used to seal her in when I was done.
