Over the past three days, I've been working on a sculpture of an Insulator who I call Yanha. Unlike other Insulators, which I'm thinking like the other similar "mystery beings" will be a dark-bluish-greenish colour (although there is some amount of variation between individuals), Yanha is a bright white, hence its name.
The sculpture is not quite done yet, but I will edit in the final picture(s) here when it is.
Insulator concept art.
Yanha looking, as I remarked to my friends, "like a backwards cobra".
Yanha in-progress.
Yanha about to go into the oven.
I had no idea how long to bake this thing since the thickness guidelines were pretty much useless on something with this much variance. So I just put it in for an hour and hoped for the best.
About two hours and three frantic, impatient checks later, it was baked.

I then took some pictures of it with my phone and immediately proceeded to manipulate one with GIMP. Which... had some somewhat surprising results.
Yanha... oh god. GIMP, what have you done?!
That was the "despeckle" filter run amok, by the way. I... think I actually like grainy pictures better.

Mockup made in GIMP of what I want the finished Yanha to look like.
Yanha painted in white.
Yanha's blue markings about 80% added. Face and chest still unfinished.
