A Fixture
I took a break from my Neko Galaxy project to dust off this somewhat older kit from Ares Mythologic. It's another 75mm female figure, though fantasy rather than my other sci-fi project. Still, I'm exploring a lot of the same techniques like working with color in the light (both ambient and primary light), cast shadows, and NMM. I'm painting this figure for a mini exchange I'm doing with a group of friends, so I wanted to make sure I got it done in time.
I went with a green color scheme for most of the piece and then added the contrasting reddish orange hair to help create the focus around her face. At the moment I'm sculpting some details onto the groundwork and then I'll start painting that too. Not much left, so hoping to finish her by the end of the month.
And, since I'm sharing her a bit later in the painting process, here's a look at how the project developed. You can see some of the early sketching to distinguish the lit areas from the shadow regions.
