WIP A Brave New World

[grasshopper]

There is a fine lesson on basing going on here...it’s not simply a platform for a piece with some bits stuck on...but part of the overall composition with attendant detail that stands close inspection

Thanks for comments mate...I have always enjoyed the basing aspect of projects...an important part of the 'story'.

 

[kagemusha]

Because a large part of the base will be hidden by the head and hand...I decided to keep the tones 'muted'....there will also be a good amount of vegetation...in keeping with my original idea of nature reclaiming it's own years after a battle between man and machine.
I will add more green tones once the vegetation is in place to blend it all together.
In the meantime I will let the pictures do the talking.........

Hi Steve...thought I'd lost you mate

That's the whole point of sharing....the exchange of ideas/techniques and knowledge...everyone wins something

I must admit to enjoying myself once again mate....and I am glad you can see it in the way the piece is progressing

 

[kagemusha]

Having done some more work on the head and hand, I decided to temporarily place them on the main section of base to check progress of the whole.
Still a lot more details to add to all three elements, but getting there slowly......

[kagemusha]

Hmmmm.....not sure why the pics jumped around when posted!

 

[grasshopper]

What’s it like more side on? I am keen to see how it will look on display say on a shelf...there is a ton of relief there that’s not fully coming thru the photos

Yes.....It really helps to be able put a piece together as you're working to be able to keep a continued visual of the finished piece that you're working on so adjustments can be made if necessary..... Keep up the good work.

[Ronaldo]

All a bit beyond me , but stunning affects AKA air brush

 

[Helm]

Those are really well detailed pieces Ron and you have done them superbly, almost a pity to dirty them up!
Steve

 

[grasshopper]

Ronaldo, you can get pretty much the same place with rattle can primers...the basic approach of transparent oils scrubbed and highlighted, worked on..that’s not needing airbrush. Ron has an arsenal of tricks and breaks every rule in the books...but there is something here for everyone to make use of ..
