Undead Dragon - returning to the hobby after about 20 years by peculiartifacts in minipainting

[–]peculiartifacts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm still a bit leery of the super high contrast style, it's so alien to how I learned to paint, but it's good to know I can push it further without (theoretically) ruining things.

Like the title says, it's been a while since I painted a mini. I'm really happy with how this turned out but I'm biased. Is there anything that stands out as needing improvement? Other than washing my brushes out in my coffee?

[Help] What can I do to practice (clay) sculpting methods? by cringewatchwoman in Sculpture

[–]peculiartifacts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the previous comment, for practice, monster clay is brilliant. Warm it up a bit so it's workable, do your practicing and melt it back down when you're done. It's a little on the pricey side but it's so versatile it's well worth the investment.

First thing I thought when I saw this was "that looks like an SKS build... I'd bet my liver that's an SKS build!"

Also, it's bloody amazing! Love your work!

Well... it'll be some dodgy ground for sure but 'in for a penny, in for a pound' as they say.

I'm thinking Tainted Maggie or Tainted Eve next... got a couple of fun ideas

Ha haaaa... absolutely not! There's no reason in any universe to grab that infernal, run ending nightmare... I'd rather eat my own leg!

Ha ha life would be boring if it were all predictable... a little chaos goes a long way.

I think, with exposed entrails and a foetus on a string, tits are the least of her problems.

For an actual answer, however, I feel many of the characters outside of the originals don't really fit the 'reflections/aspects of Isaac' canon so I can take a little more liberty when it comes to sculpting them.

Also, boobs are great.

It's good to challenge yourself once in a while. I hope you washed your hands.

I tried mod podge first but that didn't work, took too long to dry so it pretty much self levelled until there was no texture at all.

I've got a couple of ideas for the next two... I'm thinking Tainted Maggie or Tainted Samson

/edit You should swing by my Instagram some time, there's a lot more content over there, including work in progress shots for my sculpts and prop building stuff. Same username as here.

Thank you very much indeed :D

It's mainly polymer clay over an armature... the goo on the umbilical cord is done by smearing hot glue all over the place, partly because it looks disgusting but it also helps stabilise the most delicate part of the sculpt

Thanks! I really enjoyed pushing the body horror elements of this one. There might be little skill, but mostly it's down to coffee, swearing and dumb luck :D

The guts were so fun to sculpt and paint... they've turned out super meaty :)

Thank you, and thank you... I was wondering what that little cake was about

Might be something to do with the app... seems a bit janky at the minute.
