Calavera Ghost Shell Figurine (Destiny 2)

I wanted to try my hand at painting something small and more delicate, so I tried out the intricate Calavera Ghost Shell from Destiny 2 on a small Ghost model. Initially I was planning to 3D print my own model but I still had a spare plain mini figuring lying around that I ended up using as the base. The shell was originally designed by Luis Yepez for Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost celebration in 2021 which I then re-created IRL as a fan-art piece for the event in 2022.

(WIP) Detailing continues + I repainted a few details like the detailing around the eye as the in-game model and the concept art didn't quite match. I've decided to base it off just the in-game version now.
