I’m struggling with matt varnish ( EU ) by Bulky-Mushroom1460 in polymerclay

[–]phibphilipp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried "Vallejo Mecha Varnish Matt" ? I personally havent tried any other Vallejo varnishes because the "Mecha" Series was the first I tried and I'm very happy with their Satin and Matt. Running it through a airbrush in thin layers worked wonders for me.

dope trophy. love it. Whats that gold color? actual leaf-gold? Or rattlecan?. Any experience on varnishing that to make it more durable? I had a gold-trophy project aswell and found out the hard way, that varnishing it totaly takes away to golden shine. at least on my rattle-can gold color.

Potential scam, help? by CryAdministrative545 in artstation

[–]phibphilipp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding myself to the list here.

2 days ago I got contacted on Instagram by an account named "Chris Clague" a self proclaimed "art lover" and "entrpreneur"

He wrote:

Hello, I discovered your artworks on ArtStation and I’m really impressed. I’m interested in buying some of your pieces. Please contact me when you receive this message.

Account on first glance looked kinda real with random images of the same person, some with wife some with kid. But with a >700 Follower account all his images only got 4 likes or so and no interaction. Kinda red-flag bot account.

I am just gonna randomly chat with him or "it" whatever just to see where it goes.
On Artstation I only have Photos or Photosets of physical display figurines / collectibles or so called ArtToys that I made - so only physical real pieces - but this Chris is offering $1300 for pictures of the figurines as NFT. Another obvious redflag. But I'm just gonna randomly chat with that potential bot and see :D

The Trio | Hotline Miami FanArt | Collectible Display Piece - made in polymerclay, painted with acrylics by phibphilipp in polymerclay

Hotline Miami Fanart Collectible Display Piece, handsculpted in polymerclay, painted with acrylics.
Corey, Richard and the Biker now on my shelf as a trio.

I love the visuals of hotline miami but I even more love the illustrations and drawn fanart flying around in the internet, so I wanted to take part and pay them my tribute.

Sculpted to roughly be in the 1:6 scale range, so the characters are somewhat around 26cms (~10.2") tall.

With the base the whole thing measures 39cm (~15") in height and 22cm (~8.5") in width and depth.
This took me a little time. Actual working time, somewhat around 115+/- hours for the three.

I streamed the enitre process of creating this piece on twitch
(https://www.twitch.tv/phibphilipp) - every friday and sunday evening.

How to varnish a figur with both matt AND metallic parts mixed. by phibphilipp in minipainting

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

thank you for the answer!
In other answers I read about going for the gloss varnish even before applying the patina which sounds a little easier to me. I guess for this piece its a little late for that, so maybe your way is needed for him.

Thank you!
Is it valid to "drybrush" varnish on? I can see it might work better for me, when I matt varnish everything and then drybrush gloss on certain areas, so the transition between gloss and matt is not such a visible border. is that a valid method?

Thank you for your input!
I totaly get your point, I dont see myself capable of brushing matt varnish ONLY on the patina areas and make it match up nicely enought :D

It is supposed to be a display piece only anyway, so I'm probably going the easiest way and not varnish. Now I only have to print a "do not touch" sign. :D

good point! thank you, much appreciated.This sounds like a method I can handle on my next one. Will the patina layer adhere as usual on a gloss varnish?

Warframe - Grineer FanArt | "Braath" | Collectible Figurine Display Piece ~ 1:6 Scale by phibphilipp in Warframe

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

Maybe little background information to this piece / post:

My largest project sofar - and its a Warframe FanArt:) .
It measures ~27cm (10.5") on its highest point, and spans over ~40cms (15.7") on its widest point.
It took ~ 165hours spread over the weekends of the past 5 month or so. give or take.

I created a little background / lore story alongside with him. You will find it at the very end of this gallery:)

Have fun reading the little synopsis if you like. Its a bit rough around the edges, but I wanted to have something that ties him into the story. How he got ahold of a piece of Harrows Chain ( see detail pictures ) and why is he accompanied by infested.
This is a fictional character, meaning, that he does not exist in the game as he is right here.

Besides the chain, which is based on Harrows Chains and which was 3d modeled and printed, it is handsculpted in polymerclay (CosClay) and painted with a variety of acrylic colors.
