And ANOTHER Figure on the bench, Hulk isn't finished but this is a short detour

[Citadelgrad]

Just a little figure to challenge me with a decent sized face, he's sort of a caricature of someone many will know.

 

He's set to be a gift for someone so I don't want to be specific until he's handed off in a week.

 

Black primer, zenithal/volumetric white ink for contrast

 

   

 

"Pinkle" a la Groundeffected

 

 

With red for shadows

 

 

And a very thin medium skin tone.

 

 

 

 

Absolutely devoid of highlights, this is just a simple first skin tone.

 

More later.

Nice start. 

Is this a commercially available product or did you design and print this from scratch?

Whoa!

Its commercially available.  I couldn't design a cube.  Its from Zenith Studios.

Today was frustrating.  I disliked the "white" highlights. Aks light flesh has too much white in it.   I went back and forth with washes and stripped it back to resin twice. 

 

Four repaints, and here is where we are.  

Saturday, so the progress spurred me on.  I got his hair blocked in, painted his lips and gave him 5 o'clock shadow.  And I kept going. 

 

 

 

As I said, its a big headed caricature.  

 

Dry fit

 

Long day.   My neck hurts.  Its 98 in the garage so my brush painting is in the kitchen.  But I am happy so far.

Decided it was a mistake to leave the primer black under the hair, it was reading way too dark.  

 

Got to try silly putty for a quick mask and it has its uses. 

 

Here's the result:

 

 

Edit, it looks really "yellow/blonde" in this photo series, but I think that's the lighting and background.  In person it looks more like a reddish brown.  

 

 

 

Still need to add shadows and highlights.
