Jabberwocky Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Thanks everyone for the compliments! It's always nice to hear! @Stubbdog--great suggestions! If I get the gumption to get started on him again, I'll definately darken the display and the teeth and claws. @Marsya--one of the original articles on this technique is over at CMoN: http://www.coolminiornot.com/articles/1288-glowing-eyes-by-cyril For my piece, I used Vallejo Model Color Intense Blue, VMC Sky Blue, and very thin VMC White. Keep the eyes near white with some glazes of Sky Blue to tint it just a bit. I then used very thin Intense Blue (just need a very little bit on your brush) and allowed the capillary action of the water to "pull" it into the corners of the eyes. I then used the Sky Blue for the initial color of the OSL around the eyes and blended it out to Intense Blue and maybe IB mixed with black. Hope this helps!

Stern Kestrelmann Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Cool stuff Jabb. I must have missed this one when you first posted. I really like those glowing eyes... SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubilee Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 The blue-purple fade is ace! Nicely done all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez5767 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Very nice work! I agree with stubbdog about some areas to tweak a bit if you're still interested (if it's daylight, how would the eyes glow?), but really this is a very nice job. The technical painting is very sound, smooth blends, good use of color. Way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclimbin Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Looks great Jabb. It's a very scary/creepy effect. Great blending. Looks like we are both members of the "Wish I could go to RCon" club. This is the 6th time I've said this, but here goes anyway: Maybe next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator TaleSpinner Posted May 4, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 4, 2011 I love this piece. I use Displacer Beasts all the time in game and this one is so well done. Your diorama is sweet too. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
