Old Pic:
I still need to go back and dull coat the base as it's a little shiny. I'm also thinking about touching up the purple on his tongue and maybe lightening up the top of his back spines.
The high-gloss finish on this guy made him a trick to photo. A lot of the subtleties aren't showing. Doesn't help that most of the walls in my place are light-absorbing Khemri Brown and I have a crappy camera. Of course, maybe I could have done a bit more to set up the shot...
I'm going to try some other shots during the day to see if I can get something a little better.Also, we have a cameo by my fearless helper!
I also did up a little something for my wife:
I found this wee beastie in a bargain bin a while back and have been meaning to do it up for her. She's doing her PhD in NeuroScience and has a thing about brains...
Haha, love the brain beastie. :) Solid work
ReplyDeleteGood job on the broodlord. I like the excessive shine. Makes him look extra alien.
ReplyDeleteGreat work as usual. I love the gloss finish on nids (thus why my own have one). It makes them look 'wet' and biotic, especially against the usual drab matte finish of other armies.
ReplyDeleteI really need to go out and buy some 'ardcoat... I need that slimy effect.
ReplyDelete@Master Darksol: Thanks! I'm really quite happy with the look of the brain, especially since the fig is about the same size as a goblin.
ReplyDelete@eldaraddict & mchmr6677: The friend I'm doing these for is a big fan of the original Alien, to the point of having a tattoo of one. So the wet look was almost mandatory.
@Sytus: 'Ardcoat is okay, but to really get the best sheen? This is 100% Future Floor Wax, straight from the bottle. It's useful for a myriad of other applications too, such as tinting clear plastic panels, thickening gesso and revitalizing dead paints.
Sorry to hear about the respiratory infection--did you get it from inhaling too much floor wax?
