Day of the Dead WIP Thread!

11/21: After writing one WIP thread for the jungle warrior, I decided I want to head a different direction with these posts. I will aim to be more concise and focus on just putting up pictures, with the full write up coming after the build is done!

The inspiration for this build was the new(ish) 1×1 rose part introduced this past year. After coming into possession of an absolute ton of them in every color (shout out @aiden.builds), I got to work on trying to put them in a dress design.

After some refinements to this design, I focused in on the head. Through some trial and error, and feedback from GOATs such as @alex_mocs and @woomy_world, I arrived at what I believe to be a pretty nice design. Since these photos were taken, I have swapped the eyes for tiles as opposed to open hole studs for a cleaner look!

I also started working on a torso at this point, but upon reflecting, I think I want to switch the color to a warmer hue!

That is more or less where the build is at currently, with a completed dress and completed head design. The body has been a struggle, but other builds have really taken priority now a days.

Honestly, pretty clean workspace by comparison to the rest of the Lego community.
