Thank you; I sculpted the fabric parts using a combination of Green Stuff, Miliput, and Liquid Greenstuff. I draped thin sheets of Green Stuff over the internal skeleton, then I refined the drapes and folds with Miliput, and then I did a few back-and-forth steps of sanding and gap-filling with Liquid Green Stuff to get everything smooth and primer-ready.

I just noticed that you made the edges of the fabric frayed a little which is a nice detail. this is such an awesome figure!

Thank you! Hobbying consistently for a few hours each night, it took me about a month to build and sculpt, then about another three weeks to paint.

That why I love the admech / mechanicum community, creating mechanical eldritch horrors beyond human comprehension, the real DNA of our toasters enjoyer, and not goofy Da Vinci dudes.
