Gamygin: Shading. More Ghosts.

I actually did this work on the bust a few days ago but didn't have a chance to post it at the time. This is a first round of shading. Not sure why my glazes come out so uneven. I also think I need to adjust the placement some on the cheeks.

And today, I did some work on the next batch of ghosts. They are primed, have the inside painted dark green, and then I glued the pieces together and on to their bases. The two middle ones have their scythes as separate pieces which will be added at the end.

11!

Finished the three ghosts today. Here's all four together:

Ghosts: Shrouds

I got highlights on the brown parts - the scythe hafts and the bands around the front edge of the shrouds, and then shaded and got a couple rounds of highlight on the red part of the shrouds. I have a couple more rounds of highlight to put on there, and then it's on to the bases.

Ghosts: Metal

I finished the metal bits - the chain mail and the blades. These guys are actually pretty far along; all that's left is the shrouds, the handles of the scythes, and the bases. Four more sessions, I think.

Ghosts: Ectoplasm

 I've shaded and highlighted their main 'bodies', that is, the ectoplasm. I think I might do the chainmail next before moving on to the shroud.

Ghosts: More base coating

Should I have started shading and highlighting on the green parts? Yes. Did I? No. I wasn't feeling up for that, so I base coated some other parts of the figures. I was fighting with my brushes the whole time (they have decided to start splaying), so it was actually quite frustrating. These brushes are fairly new; I'm not sure what the problem is. But hey, there they are.

Gamygin: Skin base

New project! The downside to choosing a base coat close to the primer color is that it makes it more difficult to see the difference. Anyway, I'm going with a light gray/white skin tone for her.
