Stubbdog Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Make sure you do a layer of sealer between paint sessions. I can see where your paint on your elbows are starting to rub off. Sealing it between paint sessions can help against that. Just make sure that your paint is dry before you seal. One other suggestion is that you start working the reds in your smoke back up to a brighter intensity. Not a ton but there is such a difference between your facial hair being very bright and intense, and the smoke where it is very dim so to speak. It throws everything off. One or the other needs to come towards the other to make the piece as a whole work better. And since I personally like the intense face, I vote for bringing the intensity of the smoke up a little. Again, not all the way up to the face, but about half way (more and more as you get closer to the face) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boussole Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Agreed~ TaleSpinner and I have talked about bumping the smoke fire up and I'll likely go back and do that when I'm doing touch-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boussole Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Another quick update~ I've just barely started some freehand on the vest and I can already tell I'm going to have to go back and clean it up a bit. The free hand will all be in a gold that matches the lamp as opposed to the brass he's wearing, and there'll be some arabian calligraphy on the back as well.

Da Matt Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 That came out looking great. How did you make all the coins on the base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boussole Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 I followed TS's tutorial on coins~ Those guys were a pain to cut! I spent at least an hour chopping my greenstuff snakes into tiny little slices~ Making those also brought to my attention the fact that i fail at rolling snakes out of putty.
