Mark your painting has come on leaps and bounds What's your secret of painting eyes on these sculpts? Do tell!!

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

ecky thumb! cheers man but there is no secret to the eyes at all. I remember a year ago watching a tutorial on utube I think... but the guy was insanely good and I knew I would never be able to do it. But the other day what he did popped back into my mind and another chap on the forum, Gregg, was giving be help on painting. So its all sort of coming together at last. I am really enjoying it at the mo.

I do the eyes in one of two ways... First up I need a visual aid... my trusty head magnifiers. I thought when I got them all my problems would be over but to be honest it just made them appear closer haha.

so the head is painted up and then I either paint the eye red... then paint the white and leave a wee bit around the edge OR I paint it white and then water down some red and drop it on the eye and let it run to the sides.

then I paint the actual dark part of the eye ball, sat dark blue then paint a lighter blur blob inside that... then the black pupil... touch it all up... and gloss it a few times. sounds simple but I love it and spend ages doing it... a head can take two hours to paint up maybe more if I fudge it up lots haha.

I think the thing is I like doing it and I practice LOADS. One thing I know I do do is paint the eye to small a lot which is a bummer. But hey I am no expert !!!!

Cheers chaps... its a SideShow sculpt with a we drop of paint it looks very different. Fingers crossed I will be able to do the hat version next week

I am making a mould at the moment...... its star wars and if it works I am gonna be one happy bunny

Well it worked out very well I think!



and let me guess about the mold....

Spoiler

GREEDO?

I'll bet it is!

 

[Wanderer]

Cheers dude!
Yeah the work is amazing. So life like. The eyes are the key. Get those right and the rest falls into place!
Just need to invest in some magnifiers and a bit of patience!!!

Just finished so Bille Deeees!!! Perry asked if he could have one to fit inside his Tomy skiff helm... No worries mut man there is like NO room inside those buckets. I had dremmeled the poop out of mine and I seem to have lost the front piece So Feroze lent me his to use as a template. As you can see there is not a lot left of the top of the head... but fingers crossed it will be fine...

Ok been taking it easy lately but still playing with my dollies...

Well after the Jedi Hammerhead I really did not want to pop him back to regular Hamerhead but I did.. I also recieved my import tax bill for HH and needless to say I will not be buying another one any time soon after that ....

SO on to the next project With Indiana slowly moving forward and Perrys heads painted up I will focus on another project I have been itching to start... and finish... so I made some moulds last night and I ran out of chuffin silicon at the last bit... I need about 20ml more but I improvised and so here are the fruitees of my labour..... No prizes for guessing haaha and soz dude P nah it not greedo. Guess the name of the pic gives it aaalll away

[the dude person]

Well, I was close! It is a cantina alien after all...

Anyway Hammerhead seems like a difficult piece to cast... I don't know how you managed it!

Very nice work, must have taken a ton of silicone....

 

[Crimsonbob]

OMG

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

hhhaa hammertime!! well very close Dude P. I knew what I wanted and how I wanted it to work with the TT body and dispite I wee hick up and the fact that I needed to rota cast the head as thin as possible as it would weigh as much as my mum ( oww shes big all right).

Well it all went peachyish...

Please forgive the lack of clothing on HH but its I wanted to show it. (I dont like dolls in the house strolling round with nothing on)

any way I will pop some padding on HH and tack some pics
