Chest of Colors forum

for you it's different you are the master of critizes

Very small update (It keeps me going...) with some quickly taken pics. Mainly because I needed to check the fur. My eyes were fooling me again!

I started working on the metallics and fur + did some more skinwork. I'm getting there...
Don't mind the base btw. I work on that in between, or when I don't feel like painting on Airtis So it's not entirely finished yet.

fur needs more shades me thinks

and chest some hair - give him some testosterone!

I like the skin, the back in particular.

Other things are not done yet, right?

i love the back....i hesitate to tell you to go deeper in the shadow because i don't know the rteaction of trov

it's really better and smooth, and i supose in real the shadow are more dark, the picture look like a bit over exposed

I was thinking about that, but honestly I don't know how. I wanted hair on the lower arms, and belly/chest. But I don't want too much of it...

The skin is closests to being done and it's still not completly right
The rest is in the early stages I applied some color to see how they looked all together. I'm using some new colors I haven't used before, so I wasn't sure.
I think I'm gonna switch the trousers to a dark brown. The rest is going to stay the same... sort of... I think

About the pictures: I usually don't have time or just don't feel like putting up my lightbox and extra lights when I'm done painting. So they've all been quickies up 'till now
So the pics aren't super. The shades IRL are a bit deeper, but not a lot.

And I might go deeper in the shades. I added a bit of P3 Exile blue yesterday to the shades and highlighted again with VMC Ivory/offwhite. Then I glazed with P3 Flesh wash to give the skin some warmth again and smooth the highlights a bit more.

Thanks for all the comments.
Much appreciated

exile blue very good choice

I'm working on a Yarry. Converting it a bit into a pirate 'YAHR'ry. It's a very slow project and still in it's early stage. I'm experimenting a bit with different putty's and mixing ratio's.

Is there anything you think I should add or change? I'm thinking about an eyepatch and changing his sword in a scimitar or something. I'm not sure yet.
I'm still fairly inexperienced with sculpting so C&C is more than welcome.

yo ho ho, a pirate's life for me...
