The Old Lighthouse Keeper

This was a bust I found on one of the announcement pages on FB. It's by Grimm. I tried looking for his info for this write up, but after an hr., I could find it. If I do I will make an edit and add it. The site was found. Look at:

The kit is one piece sculpt, very well done, in a gray resin - no bubbles, or seam marks. The figured reminded me of one of the villains in a Scooby-Doo cartoon, so decided to make him a ghost.

Started with the black primer, and then was working on his navy colored coat.

Then added a dark gray drybrush to the face, then added color to the barnicles, seeweed, and sweater.

 Another lighter gray - I want to make the glow coming from his face and OCL lighting on parts of the beard and coat. 


A little highlight to the coat and cap.

I thought I took a pic of the ghostly glow, but didn't.
The bluish,green glow color was made by drybrushing Citadel's Nihilakh Oxide where I needed it. I then highlighted that with V's Foundation White. I touch the Nihilakh Oxide and White to the rips in his coat to make it look like glow was coming out of them, and for a little added color.  Thanks for looking.



Used grays for the eyeball, left the other blind.
Another edit. Looking at it, there was no ghostly glow around the coat and cap. If it's a ghost the whole thing should be ghostly. So I added a little more Nihilakh Oxide.
