Still following, still in awe.

thank you !

thank youNap, yes i was lucky to find it at the "fleamarket" of the convention, if you want to paint one the kit is still available at Robot Rocket Miniatures :

the picture you show is the box art painted by Josua Lai and this is incredible ! what is cool with those great Apes is that they all have different faces,
i did a search on google images and they go from all black faces to almost human tones

have a great day !

today's progress,

i worked a little bit more the faces, corrected the baby's eyes in order to have a coherent light with her mother's ones.
for the fur it's a long and tedious process, working only with lines in order to simulate the hairs i did it mainly wet on wet, still some light to add
colors for the fur : red leather, orange leather, aldebaran red and gold skin.



in the end this bust is a real pleasure to paint, sculpt is fantastic !

Thanks a lot Nap, still some highlights to add in my opinion but i'm near of assembling the whole project together

it's slowly taking shape :



i love the fact that the 2 busts are reflecting in the background that was not planified but it's a kind of "Happy mistake" !

today i finished the background, i now have to assemble the whole piece together

this project is now finished, i published it here :

thanks for the kind words Nap, and enjoy you Orangutan, it's a true joy to paint !
