Cyr Paints for Secret Sophie - Spoilers Ahead

[Cyradis]

 

 

 

You've been warned. Don't look if you don't want to know what can go in a Secret Sophie box. 

 

I didn't realize flesh could have so many colors - but I've used a lot of bottles and spontaneous mixes so far.

What is a Secret Sophie box?

 

Secret Sophie is the gift exchange I'm participating in. I intend to ship everything to my possibly unsuspecting target in a box 

 

Perhaps put the name in spoilers, for sake of not potentially giving away what I'm painting to those who want to be surprised. But you got that on inspiration. Do his muscles look... muscly enough? 

[NecroMancer]

Went ahead and removed it because I can't figure out the spoilers on my phone. Sorry about that!

 

But yes his muscles look great!

Just type [ __ Spoiler __ ] at the beginning and [ / __ Spoiler] at the end (but without the spaces and underscores)

The pants have shade color in, and first round of highlighting with Sun Yellow (base color mustard yellow).

Upped the highlight peaks to Hykey Yellow (scale 75). Added waist band and ankle cuffs. Colors look good together.... but also a bit ketchup/mustard.

Spoiler

If you put a Bruce-Lee-esque black stripe down the leg, it might detract from the mustard/ketchup look.

@Clearman I've been considering that, or patterning the waistband. I really like the shading on the pants, which makes me hesitate. I didn't go with black on the trim for sake of being more bright and colorful - which works.... the association of colors is the trouble. 

[Cyradis]

I brought the pants up to linen white at the highest points - just a touch. Decided to try freehand on the belt. Mixed results. Hair turned out well. Gave the person eyebrows too.

 

The piece is done except for signing and sealing. 

 

Not posting a Show Off until later though... for surprises sake.

Looking good so far.  My husband uses that figure for one of his current characters.
