1st time flocking with Mossbeard Treeman

[Gary Pryor]

Tomorrow when there is better light I will try to take some better pictures. For now here are some blurry shots at my first attempt from my bones 4 haul. I have never tried any flocking before, and I made a huge mess. Also I am still pretty new to painting (a couple of years, but infrequently) so if y'all have any criticism (even if it seems like common sense) I could use any tips I can get.

Not seeing any problems. I'd add eyes to give a sense of life to the model. Keep at it!

Good job!

I agree, paint in the eyes so the old tree seems alive.

I have found flock to stay on better if you spray a little antishine sealer over the whole thing when dry.

Pictures in the light of day.

Thanks for the feedback about the eyes. Not sure what to do with them that won't make him look like a jack-o-lantern. Maybe a bright turquoise?  Also, I haven't seen any other versions of this piece yet outside of the promotional one. If anybody has a picture or link to one with eyes painted I am curious about seeing the effect before potentially messing up my work thus far. Thanks.

Human eyes!  Just lean right into uncanny valley :-D

For a guy like this I would do green glowing eyes, probably in Alien Goo. Did something similar on my own tree people a couple of weeks back.
