Zab's Damn it to hell! WIP

[Zab]

Thanks guys. I'm all blushing and stuff now. :bashful:

 

[fluisterwoud]

Those mugs look pretty cool, I wouldn't mind drinking some coffee out of them.

I like what you're doing with the Leia bust, it's a very interesting take. The skin spots on the neck are particularly nice.

Leather is done for now...

Working from home today. Heard scratching from attic at 2am. Called pest control company. Cheked roof, soffet and attic while waiting - nothing. Vent right above where we heard scratching + windy night = maybe nothing OR Japanese revenge ghost. So long as she keeps it down she's welcome to stay

Leather work looks great, all the colour choices work really well together

 

[ArchArad]

Very nice - do you use inks on your leather?

 

[Zab]

yep. i'll post a little walk through later

 

[ArchArad]

Cool - if that isn't too much trouble I'd appreciate that.

 

[Zab]

Not at all
I basecoat with the middle color. Then sketch in highs and low with the colors on the sides...

Then i really push the contrast with these colors higher and lower...

Then i add some scratches and wear with a mix of the darker colors and lines of the pure light color...

now the washes begin. First GW sepia thin and controlled...
View attachment 45651
Then a very heavy uneven wash of SW dark sepia. when it is partially dry i soak it up in places with a damp brush and let it pool in others to get a nice uneven finish. Then i stipple on vallejo sepia in an overlapping random pattern to further the aging. Finally two thin washes of GW argax to tone down all the detail a bit...

Then a few thinned layers of diluted SC75 wood ink...

Finally a mix of SC75 wood and violet ink in the deepest reccesses and it's done, maybe. I can always tweak later

Steampunk She Hulk is looking good.

 

[ArchArad]

Fabulous sbs! :good: Thank you so much Zab.

 

[MAXXxxx]

On the next model you could add some wear and tear to the leather.
Simply before the washes with sepia/inktense: with a sponge dab some light color (flayed one or ivory) on the leather.

 

[Sicks]

As I suspected... Witchcraft

Looking really good now and cheers for the sbs

 

[Zab]

Thanks gang. Maxx the wear is there it's just not showing up too much because of the glare from the glossy finish - and i kept it to just a few places. I wanted it to look well used, but not abused

 

[Zab]

Hair pretty much done. Highs...

Also started my entry for webmoneys feb contest. Lots of putty work to do on flayed wings on angel and maybe a few feathers, but rough placement is down.

[Quantum Man]

I love your take on leia, such an original idea

 

[BloodASmedium]

Really well thought out buddy. I disagree ,i def can see the well worn wear. It doesn't look ridiculous.great job zsabo

 

[Digganob]

Leia is looking more and more amazing, and the new upcoming works are looking fun too.

 

[Zab]

Thanks all, very close with Leia now. Just metals and some final touches and she's ready to be mounted. Hmm... that didn't sound right. She's ready to be put on her plinth and sent out. Better.

 

[Zab]

Almost done
