Description

I really like this piece. It's beyond the cute level I usually find myself in. I found it difficult to make the head for two main reasons. Pale colours always get mixed up with bits of dirt no matter how clean your hands. And using Fimo Soft to make any thing like cheekbones is very frustrating as your fingers just holding the material can't help but press into it as well. So to me, this was harder than my dragon. While the latter took longer, this was due to arranging his hair.

His ears: the Chinese believe that having long earlobes signifies a long life (which is good because Dad has them!) His moustache and beard should be much longer and finer but they would have hidden the detail on his robe. I purposely wanted his eyes hidden by shaggy brows and as he holds a high rank, his hat has tassels. Again, he's from the Manchurian period.

Faults:

The hand. He was meant to be holding a scroll but I couldn't make a good thumb. I still don't like his hand but oh well. There are other faults like he'd look better with another row of buttons or that his arms aren't the same thickness but nothing major. Pity I didn't take the time to make the hat look better from the back though.
