I got highlights and the base metal on his left sleeve. I think I'm going to do the shade and highlight on the metal on the sleeve and the harness panels next.
I think those little panels on the sleeve that I'm making metal probably should be more cloth or leather. Don't care, I think with this guy bringing in more silver is the way to go.
Got highlights and the base metal on the leather panels on his harness. Had to really fight with those lighter purples. They do not want to blend nicely. I might have to go back and futz with it a little more in some spots.
I finished the base coat om his left sleeve, and then shaded all the purple bits.
I'd been waffling on what color to use for those leather panel things on his harness - purple like the gloves, or black like the straps? I went purple, and I like it. Need to finish the base coat on the left glove next, then shade and highlight.
Highlights on the leather straps, the front of the guitar strap, and the metal rings.
Highlights on his torso/stomach, and the last of the straps. Next I'll do highlights on the straps and rings, I think.
Finished his shoulder, did the upper chest. Just one section left on his skin and then I'll move on to the rest of the leather harness and then the gloves.
Worked on the right side of his ribs and his left shoulder. Did not manage to finish the shoulder; it needs more work. Chugging along.
I worked on his lower back tonight, tweaking the shadows and adding a highlight. Why so little highlight? Well, the second photo shows it. He's leaning back, so his lower back is in shadow...or at least not getting a highlight.
Cleaning up the shading and doing the highlights on the right shoulder. Also base coated the strap in that area. I might move to his lower back next; not sure.
So, I did some cleanup on the face, then highlights on his collar and his hands. I think I need to tweak the collar a bit more, but once I'm done with that I'll start finishing the skin on the rest of his body. It's going slow, but it's going, and so far I'm pretty happy with it.
Today was shading and highlighting on the jaw parts and the spikes. I'm pretty happy with the results. I need to do some cleanup and final details on his head, particularly around the mouth, and then that part will be done.
Still working on finishing all the parts of Rayko's head. I got some highlights on the leather straps; might need to tweak those further. I also got a base coat on the metal and the collar.
Did a last round of highlights and details on his face. I'm going to continue focusing on his head for a while.
