I agree, looking very good. The "damage control" to the scars on the head worked very well, as evident when you gave it the base coat. How is it drilling though the cloth? Although, obviously, it must have worked.

LOL, I can't deny that would be handy (pun...groan).
Had a weird occurrence on FB today, a friend of my friend unfriended him because he was pissed off at seeing my work on my mates posts! Strange world....

Stryker2011 wrote:The skin tone looks good. If you can manage it, add a bit of grey to the whites of the eyes, especially as you move toward the edges, and a thin dab of pink at the corners. If not, no worries.
GubernatorFan wrote:I completely feel for you painting eyes. Such a pain. The likeness is definitely there, and the softer eyebrows are appropriate for his look. But I think you might want to work on the eyes a little more. Two suggestions:
1. Maybe you did it (or are yet to mess with it) and it just isn't apparent on my screen, but you don't want the white to be really white. When I do the white of the eyes, I mix just a little bit of ivory (or really anything to dirty it up) with it so it is a more natural color. Then, if one can, one could add a tiny spot of very watered-down reddish paint in each corner of the eyes.
2. The left and right pupils+irises are not quite the same size and looking quite in the same direction. One approach that might (might!) make the job easier is to apply the color as a new layer, then chip away the coverage you deem extra with the tip of a needle or something very tiny and sharp.
Stryker2011 wrote:I feel your struggles with painting eyes. But I think overall you did a good job, Alex. At this scale it’s easy to get hung up sometimes on the details, especially when doing macro photos, but from normal viewing distance, a lot of this stuff looks fine. I think he looks really good. You have so much material left over to make so many more characters.
GubernatorFan wrote:It may be more size than direction, actually. The camera right iris looks a little bit smaller than the camera left iris.
GubernatorFan wrote:Well, he can't be grumpy all of the time, Alex! Occasionally he scores and gets paid. Your cool custom would surely help him do precisely that. I have a 0000 brush, and even that is not precise enough for me when working on tiny eyes, especially if the sculpt is squinting; luckily this is not the case here. They are even now. That buckle you are working on will help complete the look.
GubernatorFan wrote:With Danny and a Rancor head. Can anything be cooler than that? Yes, ideally, the eyes can be smaller, although that would be even harder to paint. It occurs to me that maybe (maybe!) more dark lining on the inside edge of the eyeball may help (perhaps with a very sharpened pencil), reducing the area of the white, although that would also define the eye more, which might produce the opposite effect -- I'm just not sure. Nice work on the armor and jetpack.
GubernatorFan wrote:I don't envy you the frustration and effort, but you are never one to shirk from a challenge. Speaking of which... How about you try to make a sixth-scale Rancor?
