Not quite miniature - Astounding

[EricJ]

ok, so imagine if you will, that they had not been twins and all this talent had gotten squeezed into just one Dukino! Amazing work here, although not quite miniature, definately not full size...

Cindy if you sister is uncomfortable with these up here, I can take them down asap, I'm just so impressed I have to share!

Those are adorable. At first I thought it was someone in a mask and outfit, then saw the puppet and the woman. Amazing.

Good lord, you mean there are 2 of them??? Great to see that the talent was shared equally :).

Does anybody know what the skin is made of?

[Leopardpixie]

Wow Looks Great! Cindy you are so talented!:thumb:

[Frustrated Father]

That's Cindy's twin actually - her sister did the puppet and that is her in the picture too (I had to ask, didn't believe there were really two of them at first).

Yes,be afraid... be very afraid... there are 2 of us... hahaha. And I agree we do look rather simular... on pictures more so than in real life... though I don't have a single doubt anyone can pick her out a big crowd as my sister instantly.

The skin is made out of fimo flesh, which she then coloured and reworked with various stuff (make-up and patina (sp?) paint often)

I have made some figures (I refuse to call them dolls.. sounds nerdy) myself... but not of this quality.. And if I had to make these clothes... I'd run out of the door screaming within long... leaving a pile of vaguely clothe like looking fabric behind. Nope not my thing.. but Sandra is great at it.

Those look great. I was going to guess teh skin was Super Sculpey...but Fima/Sculpey...whats the difference? LOL

Great quality there!

I can't imagine she minding. As long noone steals her charcter design. The pirate and some other of her creations are of a people she created called The Akavy (sorry sis if i butchered the spelling)

[Spacemunkie]

The big eared one looks like a Riddler or a Gelfling....

Thank you for your answer Cindy, I look forward to seeing more of the Dukino familly art :).

[Drake Farstrider]

WOW those are stunning. I can see the resemblance with the pirate one to the Barbosa character. :thumb: :thumb:

Well noone start about some wierd twin fantasies here or I'll have to do something nasty to that person, seriously.
Oh and I think it might be potentionally hazardous to try and chain up my sister... she bites . I am the "cute" one :) Go figure :bump:
I directed my sister to this thread by the way... Thank you guys for the compliments and all that jazz from her. I keep saying she does a great job but she's rather self critical (sound familiar Eric? ;) )
