Trying to mimic some of the light placement on the bracer referencing Sergio’s timelapse video. Still using quite a large brush at this point due to the Unaccustomed Vastness of space.
Even just roughly blocking in the base colours is going to take the rest of my natural life…
There’s something profane in tarnishing a pristine blank canvas.
Hmm. Not sure if this reads as cast-shadow or just brush-slip…
Slowly increasing purpleation and general red enyellowment.
Kinda like these reds too.
Not only did the arm snap off, I hadn’t noticed that the face didn’t even print correctly until I reached it, so a quick segue into something else entirely. Let’s keep the purple theme and see if I can ultimately get this to read as metallic.
Well that’s less than ideal. Just starting on the non-metallics and he tried to run away. Now showing one of the real downsides of resin prints - on contact with soft carpet from maybe a one metre drop, ‘his arm’s off’. Half tempted to bodge an oversize Ork power claw on there.
Huh, turns out I’m genuinely not painting Skeletor. I remember him as purple with yellow accents, when he is, of course, blue with purple. Is it possible I just have a weird obsession with yellow boots now?
From one meme to another, definitely not painting Skeletor for an attempt at this month’s Fedipaint.
The absurdity continues.
Eldest.
… ?
A braver painter would just straight up Bombadil this guy.
It’s basically Orktober, right? The season arrives earlier and earlier…
I realise ‘unnecessary frilly bib’ may not immediately scream grimdark, but it definitely feels like a Blanche-ism…
Annoyingly, the thing I like most in this WIP shot is the texture palette 😅
Just the zenithal prime in place here before I intended to start a base coat of contrast red, but this looks so good I’m tempted to go for an old-school pre-‘bone shaded’ Deathwing experiment.
Slowly trying to add some colour and texture differentiation. I want to push towards a dirty, patinaed gold for the metal.
Currently trying to grok non-metallic metal. Baffled by how well it seems to be going.
“His eyes seemed to root back under all the bulk of that forehead, too thick, too jammy, all full of resistive meats and fluids; exhausting to cut into sections, should such a thing come up.”
I think I may have the turkey sweats.
