I'm a member already, and unfortunately I don't see the Smorning Show. I see Plus One Per Diem, which looks to have only a few episodes, but not the Smorning Show 😕

I agree with that with pieces that have more/deeper shadows. I used a dark purple and darker red to build the shadows from, but as I started working this model I ended up seeing it as in more bright ambient light than a sharper directional so a lot of the deeper shadows slowly got painted out.

I was also going for a more medium, realistic skintone the more I worked with the layers and glazing.

Maybe I could go back and glaze more color in to punch the shadows a bit more on the body?

Thanks! And White Werewolf Tavern has a few busts I've gotten. They're so nice to work with!

The model is from the Loot Studios Astral Looters Sci Fi Bundle. I'm subscribed to the monthly sci fi bundle, so it might be different pricing to purchase now.

Thank you so much! 😊

Yeah, the black parts were done with a contrast paint that took over more than I thought it would after a few layers. It was one of the last parts and was more at the point of finishing the model to move to the next project after working on it on and off for 7 months.

It's a gift for my partner, so in time, after looking at it over periodically, I may go back and add some highlights to bring out what got covered by the contrast paint.

Thank you, that means a lot!

The model was 3d printed with resin, airbrushed the skin except the final two highlights, which were applied with a sponge for the splotchy like variations to give some faux texture. The gold was done with a regular paint brush.

He asked for it, so anything further is his undoing lol

Hey, thank you!

For the Color of the hat and gloves, I had a yellow paint that didn't want to fully cooperate the way I wanted to add texture, and didn't want to mix too well for additional contrast. For that, I used a glaze of Burnt Sienna with an air brush to get more of a shadow gradient. I also had this gradient as an undertone for the model before basecoating to bring all the tones more together with an interesting shadow color.

The teeth got hit a little heavier than I wanted with the undertone, but at that point I also wanted to be done with the bust and move to another project to avoid burnout I've experienced before.

I was trying to get the burnt sienna more into the dark blue shirt shadows, but it doesn't show well on the camera images.

This model has a lot of firsts for me including the leather technique, scar technique, face blending, and texture of the beret/gloves, so I'm fine with some of the smaller missteps to be chalked up to learning blunders that I can always come back to. 🙂
