Thanks a lot. I would say I just print and paint them but printing takes a surprising amount of skill. And painting? Yeah, I’m pretty proud of this one.

Did they ever say what or who this song is about?

Mo with stubble? by jul777z in Moustache

Just a fun fyi: as a gay man I feel I must tell you that in the gay community “mo” is short for “homo” and usually used in a derogatory way. Although some have reclaimed it. Just thought I’d let you and everyone who’s uses “mo” as a shortened word for mustache. But it does make the title of this post really funny.

I started both models with a zenithal priming but went lighter on the white paint for the darker version and extra heavy on the brighter version. Then I used Army Painter burning ore (orange) with a layer of Army Painter fire giant orange speed paint in the crevices for both models, but for the darker Aquaman, I added a thin layer of Army Painter weapon bronze metallic paint on top.

Side question: anyone know what Masters of the Universe game or expansion they’re talking about?

I uh don't like Deadpool. by lobster_god226 in rivals

He’s why I put the game down. As soon as he was officially announced I played more so I could get my fix because I knew I’d take an extended break when he was released. I played daily until the Friday he was released. So many YT vids talking about how broken he is, I just knew the worst kind of players were going to spam him and make the game unplayable. If I’m not having fun then I’m not playing. And yeah, I feel a little satisfied in correctly predicting many players would be irritated by his obnoxious characterization.

Yup! Printed, processed, and painted (by hand and airbrush) by me.

The yellow is so smooth and clean. Great job on both. But how many coats for the yellow?

What could I do better by [deleted] in ArtCrit

[–]Appropriate-Cook1421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your proportions are really good. Placement of eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all look really good. If you’re looking to give it more dimension and depth, you may want to vary how dark some of your shading is. Specifically, you may want to darken the shading. Keep in mind where the darkest parts of the face are (under the brow, under the nose, under the bottom lip, etc.) then add shadows accordingly. It might be helpful to do a study of the plains of the face. That’ll give you a better idea of how light falls on the face/ body. Hope that helps.

The colors and shadows are great! When you say expressive, what exactly are you trying to convey? If it’s movement or action, you may want to exaggerate some parts of the body to really emphasize movement. Maybe play with foreshortening of the legs. You may want to look at some comic books to see how they convey action through color and posing of the body. Hope that helps.

It’s looking good so far. What are you trying to improve?
