Default Mini update

Hi,

Today I sanded the last defects, and prepared the figs for painting.


I'm very happy with my "knife sculpting" technic for the faces...with the undercoat, the result is as good as real putty sculpting IMHO. See attached pics.


To be continued. Before the end of the year, I'll do a complete 22 figures steelers (2009-2010 roster) team for my bro's christmas, and I'll finish my own (at least, the offense) team too.

After that, in 2010 I'll go for full sculpting, and for "one shot" (unique figures, reproducing NFL HOF stars for example, so I'll have fun painting the whole NFL teams range) complex customizing too.

And perhaps I'll make a third team in last months of year 2010.

Default shading and highlightning

Hi,

Tonight I finished the shades and highlights on the main coats (jersey, pants, skin) of the figures.

Here's some pics of the result (bad pic, quite saturated because it's 8pm night here).

This week I'll finish them. Tommorow (maybe tonight) I'll start maling the gloves, straps and stuff like that.


PS : you'll notice that I'm doing one white skin and one black skin scheme : It's simply easier than searching for each player to see if he's got clearer or darker skin (so I should adapt each painting scheme to each individual) and give some uniformity for the team.

@One2watch : thanks

Default WOW

Dimitri,

Nice job. Great shading and extra kudos for shaving off those "arm stripes" and giving them muscle tone. Museum quality stuff. You are really upping the game.
Keep us posted as you progress...
