Agent 69
Added 2021-08-19 22:22:50 +0000 UTCA patron reward for McClaw. He wanted my OC Rosemary Parker as an agent from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. TV series. Link
In particular he wanted to be certain that she was holding the U.N.C.L.E. Special modular weapon system in its carbine configuration. Which was no problem since the foundation of the system is the Walther P38/P1 pistol which I had plenty of reference. Also I had good examples of the show prop.
When it came to setting and additional gear McClaw gave me a free hand. After some thought I decided to have her doing something that becoming popular with the spy/action adventure genre.
Scuba diving.
So I did a little research into period wet suit and scuba gear for this piece. Now I did put a rubber muzzle gasket over the barrel to keep water out of it, but I am pretty sure the salt water isn't doing the scope any favors. Especially with 1960s scope waterproofing technology, but hey it's the magic of TV!
This Saturday 8/21/21 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be streaming again on Picarto. Join me for an evening of art, stories, and the D&D report. See you there!

That's about the most deflated I've seen Rosemary's hair without a hat. (Watches the zipper.)

2021-08-19 22:49:20 +0000 UTCYou know I've not seen many pictures of Rosemary but I think this is the first I've seen of them with wet hair and the effect is rather striking. And it's really neat how you added textures, especially on the arms and legs, that give the impression that their longer body fur is a bit matted due to the water. I keep thinking to the one stream where I believe you mentioned something like this on the final break I think. Except in this case it's with moisture. And as you already pointed out I don't think that scope would've really held up to being immersed in water for any length of time back then. Still this is a really neat piece and can only imagine just how much more stunning it looks in person. :)
