Couldn't help it, the parts were in my fodder bin and presented themselves. Went with a stock photo I have of her from the set shoot. Will have a sweater version, maybe re-knit over a Polly Pocket soft goods coat. Will probably scratch build her shoulder/back knife webbing too. But this is the make-up so far:

Got her forehead without needing to sculpt much by using a stripped Shaak-Ti head that had the elongated forehead just right. Got plenty of close-up shots of Irisa's face to use for a painting guide. Given how her eyes are huge.

That's a good likeness so far.

awesome start, though I admit I don't know the character. Is this a show I need to be watching?

It's like Terra Nova meets Babylon 5. I'll give it a few episodes. So far it's ok.

Took me to look at this cutom twice before I realized who it was. Good start so far, I'm waiting for thos show to take off. Great characters too I hope you decide to do the big blue muscle bond guy. (sorry still learning the names)

So far, I have the bases for both Irisa and Nolan, her father/stepfather. Nolan will be harder to complete, because I want to make his stubble textural so that means multiple magnifying glasses/reading glasses, two attachments, and my woodburner with the micro-needle tip and a day without microtremmors and involuntary muscle spasms. Tall order.

I could easily make a bioman, with a Frost Giant as the base body. Got at least two of them in the light blue and he is still available at TRU last I was there. The Castithans would be a challenge, with their incredibly pale bodies/hair/eyes, but I already sacrificed the base figures I had that were that pale to make a fully posable Asajj Ventress and that zebra striped girl on the stripe-less zebra from the cover of Heavy Metal Magazine (Olivia being the artist of that sweet cover).

It kinda felt like Gunsmoke in a sci fi setting to me.

Definitely a good show so far, and this figure is a great start to another home run for Cap :)

Can't wait to see all the characters you create. Love the show. I had been watching all the trailers for the show and video game and the pilot didn't let me down. All the different races, Castithans, Irathients, Indogenes, Sensoths, Liberata, Volge, Gulanee and the mysterious eighth race Then there are hell bugs, Human/Votan hybrids, and Biomen. Such a diverse story to work from.

I had to google her, but so far, so good. I'd change up the hair though. Maybe Agent Helix hair? All the pictures I've seen have raggity hair.

Oh, I am keeping the hair, only because I won't have to paint it too much. Besides, I find Agent Helix's hair a bit too anime for my tastes. It worked on my Regina from Dinocrisis, the old PS1 game, but her in-game hair was like that.

With Irisa, most of the time in the show her hair is kind of all over, but from the set/stock shots I have, it is more kept and her face shows more. The movie Black Widow hair is tussled enough for my needs. Nolan's was more a PIA, since spikey in the front usually are on heads that just wouldn't do. So I took the POC whateverthehell his name is pilot of the blue plane and took a woodburner to it to get it spiky and textured like Nolan's.

The only Gripe I really have is that you're using a T-Crotched figure... Other than that I think you've got a pretty solid start
