Oils The Bull from Hell

[tomapaul]

Full 1/16 scratchbuild, based on Allan Carrasco minotaurs.
No copies available.
Painted using oils.

I'm so tired of this project and decided to finish it. Here it goes... Will come back tomorrow with details about it. It's kind of late here.

Paul,
Certainly different and well done. Great sculpting and nicely painted. The base is well done also. I like it.
Cheers

Well done Paul

I look forward to hearing how you did the sinewy bloody gore on the mace!

Very nice work Paul. Same as Gordy, and enjoy seeing oils used so well.
Cheers,
Ron

Thanks guys!

For the blood and gore I used tamiya clear red mixed with a transparent rubber like glue.

So far I've painted using only oils(airbrushing some acrylic base paint doesn't count) and I love it. One thing I just don't like, and it's not the drying time

of 1 week or so. When adding multiple layers upon other multiple layers(like I always do

) the paint becomes thick...too thick.
Maybe in time I'll do more with less.

Very impressive Paul. Some may say the bloods over done, but I think it works.

Very impressive, great use of colours and some excellent detail throughout. Love all the fine cuts over him, and that gore is just the right amount, not overdone at all. He's a badass dude for sure, thats been through hell.

"When adding multiple layers upon other multiple layers(like I always do ) the paint becomes thick...too thick."

For despite that, the overall texture seems very smooth. I really like the result.

Thanks!
@Edorta It's a pretty large figure. The sculpt had a very fine skin texture that it's invisible now. As far as I've seen, the acrylics would work better concerning this topic(thickness). Don't know...Maye I'll give the acrylics a try in the future.
