I tried to do a lot of new things with this guy. The skin was rushed, but I did the bet I could on it- tried to really emphasize the face by picking out the scars and going extreme with the highlighting.
All of the metal is painted over an under layer of rust. I used liquid latex masking to help me get the rusted look. I also used a few washes of VMC smoke (love that stuff) to dirty up the brighter metals and make the leater look worn.
Went with a camo pattern for the pants- just felt like the right touch for this guy.
For the bloody strings and blood effects I used Water Effects. I had to use fishing line as a structure for the strings. I mixed the water effects with a mixture of some old GW red ink, blood red, and scorched brown- it was a streaky mixture so that different tones would show. Once they dried I came back with very dillute black ink on the thickest spots of the blood and then a general, but still very dillute, wash of chestnut ink. The saliva is pure water effects over a very small fishing line structure.
I hate that the writing isn';t showing up in these pics- the look good in RL. The gum has "BooM" on the smaller plate, "CLAW" is on the power claw, and there's a little red arrow pointing up on the power box, and on the top section is the word "ON."
