Modeling Subjects Figures and Misc.

This is my first complete fig I am posting on here. I do not admit to be an expert and appreciate all comments.

This was done in 2 weeks, way fast for me but I had to have it ready as a gift on short notice. The ‘water’ had not cured fully when I took the pics last week. It is now clear near the rocks.

Not really satisfied with the face and hands but overall it was fun build.

Hey Tonka, painting looks pretty good to me, good shading and highlights.The ground work also looks great.

My only critique is to go a little gentle with the eyes. They seem a bit stark, and not quite aligned. I use anything from light pink to highlighted flesh tones for the whites. Some say to paint eyes while viewing the face in a mirror, for best alignment. I personally have no idea how one could do that.

Nice work overall.

Mic,

thanks for the comments on the eyes,they are always my hardest part and its either hit or miss with many attempts…

I am going to try some of the light pinks and fleshtones instead of white on my next one…

Thanks again

I agree. Close his eyes. In the pic, the left one looks a little better than the right.

I agree with the guys… loved the work especially the base and purple uniform. If you can fix the eyes then its a FIVE STARS work. I admit am that not good with eyes either… good luck!
