Some time ago since Piqui & me prepared this scene, but process was so complicated in every point (even photography) so the post was delayed a bit until today.
Charon is a special miniature, with a kind different and hard planning, thought to be seen in pictures, a more restricted format as usuall in modelling. This means that we had to work in different ways than we did in the past so It was a challenge and an extra difficulty.
I know most enthusiasts don't like to see miniatures with an edited background, but Charon is more than a figurine, a painting in 3 dimensions. When i started to paint it I did thinking that scene wouldn't be complete without it, hope you can allow me that license.
Looking for a material angle of itself, I had to do the painting work and the wave clone in transparent resin. None of this things were easy. Water treatment was done using an sculpted wave done by piqui with bodies ("souls") floating and cppy that with transparent water was difficult as those elements were just too blury, I tried to fix it with colour and light effects but nothing seems to be enought. Figurines painting was complex as I used a very dark atmosphere to get more drama so in hand scene looks very dark und a little undefined without a background that fix it.
I think the whole scene is a work that i'm very happy of at least when I can see it complete after so many time, but i need to be critic with myself and say that there are lot of things that could be better.
