Oh boy, where to begin.
I probably began this project.... almost 4 years ago now. There are so many things I would have done differently now, the sculpting really isn't up to my standards anymore, but here's the deal -
I sculpted the original Tsenaya out of Super Sculpey as a gift for Scappo. A few months later I made a silicone mold of her and cast 8 replicas out of hollow polyurethane plastic, on clear blue-tinted bases. I only had time to paint one before I had to attend MFF a few years ago, so I was offering them on pre-order. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), I only received two paid-in-full preorders. At this point I'd already put more hours into the job than the payments covered, throw a shit load of technical difficulties, procrastination, and distraction into the equation and here we are several years later.
These two replicas are my shame. I only just finished them last week. I made a lot of mistakes along the way and in the end I learned a lot about painting and materials, which fed other projects of mine, which fed back into this one....
So what was to be a series of 8 became only two. These two are spoken for, and as for the blanks... One is for my own collection, but the remaining 5 I may auction off for anyone who considers themselves a competent model builder. They're gonna need a lot of love, the mold was beyond complicated and as such the blanks have some flaws....
But I'll worry about that later. I've still got a few more sculpture commissions I had completed last year to upload (and before anyone asks, no I don't do them anymore.)
Check her out sans clothes : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3930460/
EDIT: FFF right, she's about 12 inches long, tip to toe.
Tsenaya is the intellectual property of

It's really a shame I never heard of this pre-order back then, or you'd have three paid-in-full pre-orders. I guess the word didn't get around enough in the fandom.
I presume you'll be posting news of the auctions here on FA? Too bad I couldn't commission you to finish one of the unfinished sculptures. Ah well.

I'll be posting a journal for sure. I WISH I had the motivation to finish the rest of them, I really do. They've been my project for a long time now, but ultimately the amount of work they need (trimming, sanding, filling, and painting) ensures that any more effort I put into them will only be putting me further in the hole. They unfortunately need more man-hours than I can reasonably charge for them.
Scary? Heh, I dunno. I tried my best to make her looks as palattable as possible, opting to emphasize human features rather than animalistic ones, but I've seen some photo-manips where it was basically all animal and that WAS scary.
Let's just hope the first mad scientist to actually make one of these is an artist first, and mad second.

I sold two.... Because about 3 years ago I took 2 pre-orders. I only finally finished them and shipped them off last week, so unfortunately I have no desire to do any more. I have a handful of unpainted blanks that need some love (and filler putty) which I will auction off eventually. If you've got experience building and paintings models/figurines, keep an eye on my journal. Sometime (not sure when, too busy ATM) I will let people know in advance about the auctions, when they will be, and how long they will last.
But thanks! Glad you liked them, they were a huuuuge pain to make.

Oh, that would be THIS submission you're looking for then!
