Sai Zhang from Neko Galaxy, inspired by Deathburger

I painted this Sai Zhang from Neko Galaxy in 2020 and it was an interesting project because I tried to capture the style of the original artwork with my painting.

Now that you’ve seen Deathburger’s version, take a look at mine on the photo below:

I am not attaching any more photos because you can see the model on the video below:

The model comes from Neko Galaxy and it’s a resin figure in 75mm scale. I painted it with acrylic paints, using techniques of wetblending and comic book style of blacklining. It’s inspired by Figure was Deathburger‘s original artwork from the book Glory to The Mashine! The Future is Now.

Here you can see a few shots from the process of making the model, including the custom base that I got from a team-mate, Calamity.

Between the Lines – Episode 11

Curiosity is a great thing. It keeps pushing us, humans, forward. It makes us think, imagine, invent, explore, research…

If not for the curiosity, we would still be hiding in caves, we would still be eating raw meat, we would still be afraid to go to the edge of the world. But…

Curiosity killed the cat, they also say.

Thanks to Caiman for letting me use a pic of his curious model. Check his gallery to find many great armies and not only that!

Between the Lines – Episode 7

I’ve been told that I should pay more attention to issues important for painters, as Chest of Colors is the site for painters.

Well…

OK, if that’s what you ask for…

The first ever Between the Lines tutorial. I’ll deal with one very important issue. Beware though, it may turn upside down everything you knew about painting so far.
