Hello painters,

yesterday i started the work on Shadow by dustgame.
i did a review of the figure here : https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/shadow-dustgame-1-20th.329420/

honestly i had a great fun getting back at my bench playing with colors again.
on the technics i used :
the figure was first primed in black, as i want a purplish black for the one piece leather i first applied a black coat mixed with a hint of purple in it then i took the airbrush and applied volumes lights using a mix of gray purple. once dried i played over those volumes with glazes of purple slowly highliting them with a blueish white.

for the hair i played with reds but i'm not satisfied with them actually as i want them a very bright red, not the dark one i have actually.

sorry for the crappy cellphone pictures ... outdoor light was not good.



as usual all your critics and comments are more than welcome

painted with S75 acrylics, using my trusty Winsor and Newton series 7 #1

today's work :

i essentially played with glazes to upgrade the highlights, adding more lights to volumes.
i begun to work on details too : straps, holsters, weapons and slowly increase the red of her hair.

let me know your thoughts !



pictures are dark but it goes well with her name i think

hello friends,

main painting is finished for the moment, i will put the final touches when she will be in place on her final scene.
i'm planning to build a part of a tea house with a Shoji wall that will be her background ... some suprises to come will show her lethal power

here are the pictures :



i hope you like her tell me your thoughts !

Very nice looking paint work! I like the purple body suit - came out nicely

thanks Scott

here is a picture after doing the last touch-ups ... took it at the bench as it was night outside



now let's build this tea house scene

Excellent job

Mobo

Nap, Mobo : thank you my friends

I should start the work on the "tea house" today

hi friends,
I begun the work on the "Tea House" at least to suggest it

the base is a simple part of a 2X4 pinewood stud that i leveled carefully, from there i glued wood coffee stirrers to simulate the wood floor
next was the main walls structures done with balsawood, finally i applied a tinted varnish to the floor in order to obtain a realistic color



size of the base is roughly 3 by 4 inches which give me some room for the details to come while being in scale with the figure (to my eyes at least)
as usual all your comments are welcome !

thank you Nap !

some more work being done yesterday night :


it has been a good night

hi !

shadow is in place now
i will now work on some elements to add a story to the scene.



the balsa has been painted with golden acrylics a 50/50 mix ratio of "animal black" and "violet oxyde"
i used those paints because of their fluidity with heavy pigmentation and for the fact that they give a slight satin effect once dried.

i keep the pace with this project

what is saying japan more than a samurai ? a Bonsai tree of course hahaha ... i know i'm crazy

electrical wire, Bondo filler and some green moss mixed with heavy acrylic gel : 2 hours of pure fun !



that's all for today

thank you Carl
