Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I second the lip losing. In fact on my Tarman custom I cut the whole jaw off the head entirely and started sculpting from there so I could get the open slack jaw look.

Painted Connor finally.... finished the head, darkened the jacket with several layers of drybrushing... (my future Indy method...if we ever get one) and did the same for the pants...

I'm damn proud of him...

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Yeah, DA! You have done some damn pretty work here bro!
I am duly impressed!
Makes me realize that I haven't done squat to my Connor! You are on a serious creative roll lately.

Bravisimo! my good man!

Thanks a ton Les.... I HAVE been on a creative streak lately.. That trip to my future film school really jazzed me up and got the juices flowing again. I also got a nice tutorial from a friend and it's helped my skin tones and shading... so that has helped too.

I guess a lot lately has given me reason to be excited so I am just pumping out stuff to keep it up and not lose that energy.

I'm almost out of figures to paint now though.... Need more work!!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Conner looks great! It is amazing how a little fiddling with these things makes them look much better.


BTW, back to your zombie sculpt. Will the super sculpy harden or do you have to bake it or something to make it permenant?

 

[DarkArtist81]

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks guys.... oh, and BM....yes I had to put that head into the oven to bake it... I baked it at the lowest level for 20 minutes until it was hard enough... I was so worried that Buck would melt or something..

Ok guys... here is Kurgan... but not the best pics... I could not seem to get a favorable light. So hopefully tomorrow it's not raining and I can get some sunlight!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I said it in the Kurgan thread and I'll say it again here... looks great. Especially in this shot you can see the added colors and tones that make the Kurgan look a lot more intimidating and kinda roughed up a bit.

Another excellent job DA!!!

And I just noticed you painted his arm... great idea, that shiny plastic just doesn't work for exposed limbs.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks guys! Yeah, the llight in my room drowns out the color that he had. Hopefully later today I can score some nice daylight pics and show the detail... Hell, I even had to redraw that tattoo on his head. Thank God I still had the other Kurgan to look at for reference...

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Ok guys... I promised better lighted pics... so here they are....

 

[DarkArtist81]

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

And for Luke... I might as well....

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

awseome job on Kurgan. I think the scare on his head loosk sick now!! Your repaint make it looks much more like the Kurgan. The skin tones you used hightlight the contours of his face, which he has many, and SS paint app. failed to do. He doesn't have that "sickly" pale face anymore. 100% improvement on the product. I also like the paint around the mouth! Also the arm is a good idea. More flesh tone. The Clancy Brown likeness is much more apparent with the repaint!!!!

This pic best show off everything I like anbout your repaint!!!! The gray shading around the temple and forehead and scar all look great Josh. The shadowing under the eyes is also well done.

What the Kurgan should have looked like!!!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks King! I'm growing with every repaint... I find new things that need fixing each time, things I do wrong and such... but the journey is a blast and I'm 100% happy with Kurgan. I might actually do a little tweaking on him, but overall.... very happy.

I get Jack Sparrow tomorrow and I will try to finish him this weekend, so expect pics as well.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

ok.....just got finished with Jack.... I'm super proud of him and how he turned out. Though the pics are dark, you can kind of see what I did. But come tomorrow.... there will be much better pics in the light... I promise you.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

THAT, sir, is FABULOUS!!!! God, how far you came in so little time! Amazing! You'll be outstripping us all by leaps soon.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Wow....Thanks Mikey! That really really means a lot to me. You and Les are my icons to live up to here, and I have learned a lot from both of you. It's nice to feel like my work is appreciated....especially from you guys...

Oh, and keep an eye on this thread later today.... I'm gonna post some nice lighting pics....yes, more kitchen table environment pics!
