Moondevil Studio's Yeti

Just a quick update. Been working on Yeti's face a bit. I did the inside of the mouth and glossed it all. I also got carried away and did the rest of the face. I then glossed the eyes (not sure it I like em) and  epoxied the face to the body.  Here he is so far - - 

Next, I'll be using the Aves and getting rid of the seam between the face and back of the head. 
More later. Thanks for looking. 

Hellboy Finished

Hey all, I had some time today so I finished up the Hellboy ornament. 

Basically from where I left off, I added VMC Beige to the the eyes and teeth and then lightened then with some VMC White. I did leave a little line of beige around the outsides of the eye, just for giggles.  Next I painted all his hair VMC Black and then added a little Prussian Blue for highlight. The image somehow makes the blue stand out a lot more than it is on the model.   Finally I coated the piece in VMC Carmine Red, making sure to leave what is supposed to be in shadow the VMC Cavalry Red color. On top of that I put glazes of Vermilion. Out of the bottle, it was a little too orange, so whats why I made it into a glaze. 

Afterward, I thought it looks too nice to drill a hole and set en eye screw in the back of his head. So I think I'll come up with some sort of base and keep him that way. 

Thanks for looking. 

The Hellboy Ornament

Back again, with Hellboy this time. This little sculpt was offered on The Clubhouse last year as an ornament. Being different, of course I had to jump on it right away. And then it sat... 
A few months ago I primed it, and it sat some more. High time to put some paint of it.  I started with a light coat of VMC Cavalry Red, and then when dry I put a coat of brighter Vallejo Game Color (VGC) Gory Red over it. This seemed to bright, co I gave it a wash of Citadel Nuln Oil. Here's where we are at - - 

More later.

Executioner Finished

He's finally all done. 
I could have probably tinkered with it til the end of time, but I had to just call it. 
Since the last time, the belt was finished in VMC Chocolate brown and the buckle in VMC Old Gold. The gold way *way* too bright so I hit the whole thing in a dark wash. While I had my metallics out I painted the little "jewelry" on his wrist in Bronze, again giving everything a dark wash. 
The axe part closest to the handle got a dark wash and then a little MIG Rust. 
Next I hit his cowl/hood with a flat topcoat, and attached the hands to the body with 5 min. epoxy.

Now I'm looking back at the Yeti, or then again I do have a Hellboy ornament from last year...

Executioner / Yeti Update

Well, a little one. The Executioner's face, cowl, hood and gauntlets have been base coated and washed. His face received the extra highlight.
The cowl/hood was based in Vallejo Model Color's (VMC) Flat Earth, and the gauntlets were based in VMC Chocolate Brown. There was two little "pouches" in the front and I painted them VMC Cavalry Brown, which is a reddish color for a little color variation.  Then the hood/cowl was washed in GW's Agrax Earthshade, and the gauntlets was washed in Nuln Oil. Originally the face was based in VMC Buff. I was looking for a tan color but as I was putting on the Buff it had a green tinge. So I just quickly put on VMC Ivory while the Buff was still wet, then washed in Nuln Oil. When that was dry it was just a dark mess. I dry brushed it again with the Ivory and to my eyes it looked better.

For the Yeti, all I got to do was work on the seams where his arms met the body. For this I used my indispensable Aves Apoxy Sculpt.  I really enjoy filling seams of organic creatures much more than say planes etc... ;)

Came out like this - -

Next I'll need to prime and paint the Yeti's mouth b/c the lower part of the mouth is attached to the body and the face is a separate piece. That will need to be painted before I attach the face to the body. If I attached the face to the body first, there's no way I'll be able to paint all the detail in the mouth. Then I'll need to blend the seams between the face and neck.

Oh well, that's for another day.
