I also receive my sculpt today thanks. Still up against the wall as far as what to do with it.

 

[Itchybitz]

Anyone done a paint up on this one yet?
I just got mine and I'm having a real tough time with making it look right. Be nice to see one painted properly for a reference point.
It's a really cool sculpt, I'm just having trouble doing it justice.
I'll post some pics later and maybe you can tell me where I'm going wrong.

 

[Maglor]

I'm eager to see the first paint-up to show as well.

I think it looks good! The border of the eyes isn't not defined well enough, maybe, but that looks very good to me!!

 

[Maglor]

Nice work!

 

[Cheungkinmen]

awesome! .

Thanks guys but the eyes are definitely my weak spot, I actually had to re-do them at least three times. I can never quite keep the white inside and then have to add a little flesh color around them, also my first attempt came out totally boss eyed
The other thing I found tricky were the eye brows, I find it quite hard to make them look natural and on this one I think he came out looking a little too worried.

Don't know what kind of paint you use, but for eyebrows, I use oil painting. wash down some burnt umber with turpentine and paint the eyebrows. The paint will sink into the creases and make the eyebrows look more natural. If it's not dark enough, add some black into your mix. You may have to finish this with your same mix with much less turpentine and paint the eyebrows with fine strokes (only if the earlier methos wasn't yet enough.

for the red line under the eyes, I use a similar method. red oil paint washed down until it's very liquid. It practically flows right where it's supposed to go on it's own!

I always use soft body acrylics for the flesh, hair and eyes and then chalk pastels for the detail and shading.
But I like the sound of your technique and may have to give it a try.
Thanks for the tip
