Abdel: Last of the stripes

I finished up his tunic today.

Like I said, there's really just a few bits left to do on him now.

Abdel: More stripes

Next figure, no stripes.

This is some yellow 'shimmer' on the cloth, as well as some shading and highlighting on the area. I will finish the other side next time. I still have a ways to go, but he's actually mostly done!

Abdel: Experiment

The picture I'm working from for the robe has kind of shimmering stripes to it, so I'm playing with replicating that. This is an attempt at adding that in a small area, just to see how it will go.

I don't think it quite reads right, but I don't hate it, either. I'll probably continue and see how it works on a larger area.

Abdel: Last of the spots

Finished up the spots on the stripes on Abdel's robe.

I also went over the highlights on his turban with bright red ink. I'm not sure if it's better or not, but it is subtly different.

Abdel: More spots.

Continued with the spots in the stripes (!) on Abdel's robe. I think one more evening should finish the spots, then I'll probably revisit the turban highlights briefly, then get back to the robe.

Abdel: Spots. Noxious: Basing Skin.

Started adding spots in the dark stripes on Abdel's robe, per the picture I'm using as a model. I am liking it so far; I think it kinda breaks things up a little. It's going to take me a while to finish, though. I have to do the spots, then go back and clean the edges of each one up and fix the lengths and spacing. Repeating patterns...I am not good with.

I think for my next large scale piece, no freehand, no textures. Oh, I also remembered...I have fluorescent red acrylic ink that I bought specifically for glazing red highlights. Duh. I am going to pull that out and see if it helps pop the highlights on the turban up a bit.

I also put a base coat on Noxious's skin.

Abdel: More strips. Noxious: Primer.

Continued on adding stripes to Abdel.

Next will be to put dots in the stripes.

Also put primer on Noxious. Not really that interesting, but here he is primed.
