I'm glad her face is going to be covered with tattoos, because it's not very attractive. The underlying head shape was pretty well cured, so I had to add more putty to form the brow, nose, and mouth. I also had to work around the right arm, so it didn't turn out quite as well as I would have liked. For the horns, I laid a small roll of putty around the crown of the head, then pinched it into horns. I smoothed the putty between the horns into the surounding skull, which helped to cover some of the earlier imperfections. I also added another small strip with two more horns at the top of the head. The ears were simple blobs stuck to the sides of the head, smoothed, and shaped. I had to rebuild one of them because I accidnetally smashed it with my finger while making the second one. The left hand also had to be rebuilt, and the blaster needed to be nudged back into position. Hopefully everything will cure to a more durable state now that I can leave it alone. I'll try to touch things up once it's fully cured (I'll wait until tomorrow at least, to give it as much time as possible). Hopefully it will look better painted than it does green. Still, I'm pretty happy with the basic proportions and shape, considering it's my first attempt at sculpting.
