WIP EVD Marie Antionette bust

[jcichon]

So this is my WIP for this bust. Pepa Saavedra painted the box art for this kit and let me tell you my job does not even come close!!! I am using an airbrush for the first time and the majority of the flesh was done with the airbrush. I tried to go really subtle with the shading and this is a cell phone pic so its really washed out. A great sculpt by the way!!

I fell for that Bust the first time I saw it posted !!! Such a wonderful sculpt and I am very sure you will do it justice !!!

 

[jcichon]

It aint easy bro!! Toughest I have ever attempted. Got a nice comment from Pepa, the painter. So that helps!

I think the principle is amazing and the skin color is what you need for this lady but for the time!

Looks to me like you've done a great job on the flesh Jason, looking forward to the next shots.

She looks good and for the first time you've painted with the gun, really good work. It's all a matter of practice to get a perfect result.
If you watch pepa when she paints, then you can see how she achieved a perfect result with very little color choice. It's all a question of color mixing and dilution. And the exercise. Which nozzle did you use and what pressure are you working on?

You on a right way.

Well to me this looks spot on Jason! Very subtle and just right. I would be careful not to mess with it for too long, or you could spoil the effect, that would be a pity. Always a difficult decision, when to stop... ;-)

Cheers,
Adrian

Thanks for the comments guys! I am not sure what nozzle I used. It's a Harder and Steenbeck airbrush but the psi was 8lbs. I learned I could use lower pressure if I thinned my paints accordingly.
Ferris, I have stopped with the fleshtones!! Your so right! I dont want to muck it all up by going back to try and tweak it!

Nice work Jason! I wish I could get figure out that female flesh mix like you and Pepa have done. I look forward to more pics as you go along.

Thanks

What lovely tone! She breathes and pops right out. And those bad boys too.

 

[Ethan]

I think it looks great! very nice tones in the flesh; I can't wait to see what happens when you have the first few layers of color on her dress and hair. The skin will really pop then!

 

[Meehan34]

WHOA! Nice start sir. You gonna have her finished for the Texas show?

 

[jcichon]

Thanks very much guys! A challenge to say the least! Mike, I am gona try to finish it up before Dallas!

 

[Ethan]

Good! I would really like to see this in person

 

[Stephen Ward]

Outstanding start my friend...you're really doing this justice and I'm sure Pepa will be proud once it's all said and done.
