Printed this monster girl figure sculpted by Officer Rhu back in September, but it got stalled out due to needing magnets. But finally getting back to working on her as everything else has been cleared off the build plate.
So first up is the initial test fit shot. Was waiting on magnets as she has multiple torso options. Unfortunately, I can not show those here as they vary from slight to mild spiciness and I don’t want to get in trouble. Will post elsewhere though. After attaching the magnets I then puttied the drain holes and filled the torso, base, and pillow with a liquid putty for added strength.
So first the first step of getting this girl painted I primed the base black to build up the wood finish.
I then base coated it in a dark brown
The middle brown tone was applied next using a heavy dry brushing. This allows the dark brown to still be visible in the groves.
The wood was further highlighted with a lighter brown shade, applied with a lighter dry brushing.
To finish it off I airbrushed some Cygor Brown into the grooves of the planks to add additional depth to them and provide additional definition. At this point I am debating using a dark brown panel wash further accent the wood groves, but am leaning towards not with the results I have thus far.
The last thing I did today is prime the pillow. Will apply a zenithal highlight to it tomorrow but am unsure what color to paint it. Will sleep on it and weigh my options.
