Grandma Rocket

I'll be doing a bit of something different with this post. Since the picture previews are the first picture, I'll be posting the final product first, and then posting the process after. So I got a suggestion a few months back to make Grandma Rocket on Facebook Messenger, and so I decided I'd take to the challenge. It wouldn't have taken so long to make her, but with COVID and moving to a new apartment, it just got put on the back burner. Finally after weeks, I am pleased with the end result of Grandma Rocket.

Also as promised on Facebook and Instagram, here is the process I took to create her. I first chose a picture that was sent to me by the user that suggested I make her, and made a super rough outline of her as seen below.

Yeah, almost looks like a blob, but that alone took a solid 15 to 30 minutes to make. I then refined it as I went through again, and made the outline a bit better so you have what you see below.

Honestly, nothing terribly different if you don't look close enough, but I refined the hair and made some smoother lines instead of having sharp edges on the front and the engine connection area. I then started making all of the details inside, and with that came a whole lot more adjustments. When I was done with that, I ended with what you see below.

At this point I had spent about two and a half hours on this project, and it was getting late, so I went to bed hoping to get going again on this again soon. I did get the glasses done and the coloring done, so I was able to end up with something like you see below.

However, after that, I got COVID, so I had to help my family feel better (since I wasn't affected to much by it), and after we started feeling better, we moved. So after three weeks of not having been able to have the time to finish her up, I finally got the shading done, refining of the lines, and the chain for her glasses done. Overall this was a fun project to do. Thank you very much for the suggestion! I hope to be able to complete more suggestions in the near future!
