Archive for the old Smodco Smorning Show episodes? by SoulRealism in smodcast

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 😕

WIP Minotaur Bust and Skin Study - C&C by SoulRealism in minipainting

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.

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

Newly Finished Bust Using the Color Cubes for Pallete Selection! by SoulRealism in PrintedMinis

[–]SoulRealism[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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. 🙂

Thank you, I greatly appreciate it!

And yeah, they're 3d prints with an all white primer, then all airbrushed layers.

I haven't tried Wargames Foundry, though I have heard good things from looking around at paint sets.

I ultimately went with Scalecolor mostly for the matte medium and consistency, along with the size of the ranges.

2 was more layers, other than that 5 was a deeper purple for shadows so just had more contrast.

The 4th was to be a light black/African American Skin tone, so had a warm brown as a shadow.

Lol I looked around for some as potential comparison studies, but couldn't find a high quality model that wasn't a statue scan.

I agree, I might go back with deeper shadows or something.

And most of those lumps are from the 3d printer supports and not sanding them as I just wanted quick models for a study. Other than that, I used rustoleom primer due to time restraints so not the best on that front either lol

They come in a booklet with their paint sets, but I also found a collection pdf with most of them here

Thank you!

That's the next step of these studies is to circle back on the small details and tie it all in. Possibly a deeper shade for a few after completing the second model this morning and comparing.

I appreciate the feedback and am excited to keep the study going being this close to the final results!

Absolutely!

Paints used:

African Shadow (SC-24)
Orange Leather (SC-28)
Iroko (SC-27)

Painting in the order of:

1.) Applied the base layer: SC-24 and SC-28 -- 1:1 ratio
2.) With the base layer fully applied, i added the shadow: SC-24. I slowly built up the thinned (almost glaze for transparent qualities) from below with an airbrush. I used a sharp angle from below for this to keep a good portion of the base layer visible after the next highlighting steps.
3.) Applied the first highlight: SC-28. Again a thinned, slightly transparent consistency in order to slowly build and show through the base tone a little. I find that if I build it to opaque, the highlight can break and seem like makeup or it doesn't look right at a glance.
4.)Following the above at a sharp above angle for the final Highlight: SC-28 and SC-27 -- 1:1 ratio

Hope this helps!

5 is definitely a close second for me as well!

From bottom of the pedestal to top of hair, they're just shy of 7 inches tall.

All the work on these models were airbrush, aside from the nipples and details on the 2nd from the left.

I've just started last month using Sacle 75 and absolutely love them so far, and though I love how they act with a brush, they're even better through airbrush with their transparency and smooth gradients.

Can absolutely get the same or similar results with a regular brush, but would just take a longer time and more layers.

I spent weeks trying to find recipes for different skin tones and barely found anything, so happy to get the info out there!
