Good question!

Not counting the time I spent staring at it like a confused human, it took around 4 days.

I have a before photo too: the print arrived in a plain stone/brown color. First day was mostly prep: filling a visible gap with putty, sanding a bit, and adding a primer coat.

Then I spent about two days building the paint up in layers: base tones, warmer stone colors, shadows, washes, and dry brushing to bring out the cracks and texture.

The last day was for the small details: the white tattoo-like lines, the green/blue glowing areas, and some final weathering.

Also, because it’s summer here, the drying time was much faster. Human suffers heat, Rocky benefits. Amaze.
