As you can see I've added in the orange glow to all the brain bits, the fleshy tendrils and all the black highlights on the talons, claws and hooves.
Unlike the orange brain Zoanthrope I put the highlights in the brain creases rather than on top of the folds. Slightly harder to do perhaps but perhaps the better solution.
The back piece is a little less successful, because it's just harder to get to. Hopefully because it's also harder to actually see it doesn't really matter.
The tentacles have come out OK, messy but not wholly unpleasant. I still think there are some more highlights to do that will help. And also the nodules at the end - the plan is they will be green like the vent glows but I have seen some amazing orange ones and I'm just taking time to make the right decision. Again, I don't want to rush this. Also a close up of one of the talons.
This isn't all I've done, I've painted the tentacles on the Neurotyrant and Neurolids, just didn't get them to a point where I could do their brain glows at the same time. I've also done some highlights on the GSC sentinels but haven't taken pictures. What do I have left to do?
Fix tentaclesGreen glows- Some minor claws on the tentacles need highlights
Some tonal shading on the bone- Bone chips on base
Metallics on baseFleshy bits on base- Odds and sods I can't think of
- Matt varnish
- Gloss varnish
- Blood FX
While not quite done, still impressive progress! What's missing is really not that much more! Can't wait to see this beast finished!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was close but as soon as I realised it wasn't going to happen the foot came off the gas. My hobby mojo is a bit on the wain at the moment. However, usually that means when it comes back I'll be raring to go!
DeleteYes, it's coming along so well. Nevermind the little bits here and there along the way. The overall effect is very good!
ReplyDeleteWell I always said don't judge a model until it's finished and that still holds true. Whatever issues I had early on, even if my ability does not match my aspiration, it does look pretty good.
