This time, I did some sawing on the figure to break them up for easier sculpting. And oh, sawing is actually fun! Lots of dust, but cutting off the parts makes it look more like a garage kit that is waiting to be built :).
Let's look at some photos:
I've started to resculpt the finger with putty, which was broken by me before. The putty is too liquid and it's a tricky job to apply it onto the hand. Used some masking tape for help.
Then, I sawed the head into the front and the back part. The back part will later be joined with the back hair.
Then, here's another fun part to saw. The neck and chest area. I had to saw through the upper arm and the chest and then stick the shoulder back into place. I wanted a clean separation of the flesh from the dress. A bit doubtful with what I was doing but fortunately everything turns out all right. Like this:
After sawing, let's do a test fitting:
Good, it sits nicely in place:
That's all about this update. But before finishing off here, I just happened to find a photo of this sculpture which was taken long ago and thought it will be good to post it here. This was how Faye looks like about half a year ago. It was when I started tweaking her anatomy:

Do you happen to take any sculpting classes? Or did you learn this by yourself?
Wow, looking good so far =)
kel: Hi. No, I didn't take any art classes at all. Doing this figure by looking through books, forums and youtube.
snark: Thanks a lot for checking back.
You might want to start priming your finished part, like the face. It'll make them sturdier.
I do think cutting the neck and chest from the dress is overkill. Unless you want to cast them in different color/ type of resin... ohohoho I will definitely want to see more!
Good luck!
Hi, Midz, I did wanted to try priming but I found that there's still a lot of imperfections that I need to clean up.
But anyway, I might do it soon. Just to experiment with smoothing the surface. Gotta prepare a lot of patience! lol
