Lurantis Rework

Hello internet! Although I haven’t been writing here lately, rest assured I have still been busy with various Pokémon and plastic model projects. Most recently, I did a complete redo of Lurantis, one of my favorite Pokémon. I last made it around two years ago, and although it was one of my best works back then, it really shows its age now. Armed with higher-quality felt, better shaping knowledge, and, well, the same tools I used last time, albeit using a completely pipe-cleaner structure instead of the flimsy wires I used for the arms last time, I think it turned out a whole lot nicer!

Some work in progress pictures:

Lurantis is a gen 7 (sun and moon) Pokémon, and as such has a rather tropical design. Rather than a bug type as you might expect, it is instead a pure grass type, the design concept being a reverse orchid mantis (look them up, they’re really neat). I love the pajama pants and kimono its design incorporates! Hopefully I’ll be writing more, see you all next time!
