Buzzins Sons Of Medusa Marine2

[BuzZin]

Im planning on green armor and shoulders with metal trim in the realy deep shaddows i will be using blue and red.

 

[Tagamoga]

Gren/gold combination sounds good, but be carefull of using to much blue and red additionally...

In a green/gold kombination I would tend to paint the mask in a dark wethered Gold, so it has more contrast to the skin.

Greetings Taggi

gold would be a better contrast to the skin,but is to much blood angelish.

go for bone ^_^

 

[BuzZin]

AHHH i cant decide!!!! i have got a practice head that i used to get the sculpt right, i could test the colors on that one first, il trhink il try gold first as it may look real nice. if it looks bad il test the bone!

Go for a quick Gimp/Ps colour mockup! It doesn't have to be fancy, just to get a more physical approach to it

 

[BuzZin]

this is is a shot of a spare head i did, quikly painted it metal to see wat it looks like.
wat do you think metal or not?

 

[jahminis]

i like it...

the metal stands out from the flesh more than bone would...
metals also say "futuristic" to me, more than bone...

keep up the good work...

cheers

looks like the terminator ^_^

white would be great(like the white skull on the shoulderpad) but probably a challange to make the white look good.the white would need a special "touch" to make it stand out and give a good contrast to the face

 

[BuzZin]

i think il re-paint it bone/white see how that go's before i paint the actual one

 

[hamhamlunchbox]

sounds like a good plan.

heres a pic of a nice dark gold armor.thinking of it now,dark gold could be great as well

(tycho by noodlenerd)

oh,orion was a great choice for the vid XD

 

[BuzZin]

here is the metal look and the bone look both together i think im goin to do it bone as i think it looks better to me.

 

[cheelfy]

I also think the bone look better, paint it like this.

 

[hamhamlunchbox]

what about some red for the shadows on the bone mask?

 

[BuzZin]

yeah sounds good, im goin to start the main head now and i will try and use a range of color for the shadows and washes. i will try and photograph it in steps but im a bit jumpy with faces

 

[BuzZin]

i have undercoated the face with 70% Tallarn Flesh 30% Dwarf Flesh, i have used it in thin layers and i have left the white undercoat coming through on the areas i want the lightest, even on this first step to help the overall contrast.
This is the first time i have tryed this technique so lets see how it goes.

 

[hamhamlunchbox]

looking good ^_^

let the undercoat shine through is a preety neat idea i have to say.

ive seen a tutorial on faces that has a very dark purple after the first layer of tallarn flesh.around 50& of the face(darkest areas) were purple and then highlighted to a "normal" skin tone.pretty decent on an ultramarine.

any plans for the teeth already?bleached white or some sort of toned down natural white-ish?

 

[BuzZin]

Im not sure but im goin to have to make them different to the mask. im planning on using purples and teal with the skin

 

[BuzZin]

I have finnished the skin, i may touch it up a little more after i have painted the mask . The last 2 pictures were taken outside in natural light wich shows what it looks like better. i will leave the teeth and eye's untill i have finnished the mask

Beautiful, both the bakcpack and the face are excellent, I like the smooth painting style you are exhibiting here. Am looking forward to seing more of this project.

 

[hamhamlunchbox]

the purple looks great and the highlights came out great.

just wondering about the thing over his right eye.i know its some kind of honor thing for space marines and usually its metal.yyours looks like its under the skin which is fine.just curious ^_^
