View attachment 31796Been working on him today round the clock. I will make an impact on putty and paint and hopefully get the much deserved respect from some of the worlds best artists of miniature painting. When I paint I keep in mind that the final glaze I apply at the end of everything will tie the whole model together and not show the highest highlights that other artists do . I try to keep it lifelikeeaning I aim for subtlety to do this I have a formula to achieve this smooth gradation I apply exactly 13 very thinned glazes. Over and over the beige(my lightest color ill use never white ) starts to dissapear into the colors around it making it as lifelike as possible. I push contrasts and shadows but the glazes almost takes them away where it starts to look not like a painted model but a lifelike personality.this besides my weathering if metals and greenskuns(I weather or dirty up skin too on orks,there not very clean really) is a trademark that has bestowed some very earned success on my miniature models. Basically I want them to look less like a painted model and more lifelike in the long run.
any questions in this guys ill be more than happy to share some of my secrets to how I get the finished results on my models wether it's a bust ,a heroic scale model or even some of my 13 inch models. Doesn't matter the same techniques are used over and over. I know them so well . This combined with having a ton of free time being disabled is why I'm so fast at painting minis for my gallery , commissions , and or competition.
stay tuned folks.
BTW THANNK YOU ALL FOR VOTING ON MY PREVIOUS BUST. All of you guys are golden. And a real big thanks again to DRAGONSREACH THE TIPS HE GIVES ME HAVE MADE THIS W I P OF MINE MUCH MUCH MORE THAN WORTH IT. Thanks Mikie !!!

View attachment 31817View attachment 31818View attachment 31819Again guys WILL BE IN THE GALLERY LATER ON. Make sure you vote. The only problem ,again, is LESS LIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE DUE TO A 4/1 lft/rt light box SETUP. So the belt is not as well lit to show the detail . The rt side of my models is always darker as my fiances light box setup is strictly for jewelry and not for miniature models. It looks much much better in person.

Ok, know that i can see the pictures i will throw out my two cents. The skin on both busts rocks and is top notch.
As for Barbosa, i do not feel he is one of your best (still better than most stuff out there). The skin style obviously scaled up well to the bigger mini and the undercoat is awesome. However, i keep coming back to the trim pieces looking off on the jacket and hat. Without being told it is not clear if the effect you was going for was tarnished metal or embroidered/applied cloth. And this distract from the outstanding skin since it is such a large part of the mini. Minor dings are that the black belt across the chest seems a little "one dimensional" and the fish scale (?) on the hat could use more contrast between the spine and webbing. The only reason the belt sticks out is that your current one looks much nicer. I put this one at a nine and your already at a ten on the current bust.
It is obvious you keep pushing your skills to try things out of your comfort zone and use the lessons learned to keep improving. I want to get to your level someday.

This is totally off topic! But I know most of you are animal lovers View attachment 31939this is my "Lil chicken leg" yes 2000 dollars later my dog had some screws and implants applied to his elbow joint. He's in much pain but I managed to get it under control by tramadol. Yes like father like son. Daddy takes 4xs a day roxycodone 30 mg(3 / perc10s) 120 MOHs a day plus 130 mg/ morphine sulphate. And a whole bunch of facet injections. So I wasn't worry some for me when the Lil guy came out of surgery and they have him some tramadol. Now he's not crying or as matter of fact he's not doing much of anything he's sleeping . What an amazing lol guy. Such a strong brave brave corgi. He's my Lil guy. Surgery was needed it wasn't even a debate . For our lived ones we do anything. And for my Sammy IDE move a mountain. Wish the Lil guy a speedy recovery.
