Perseus: Medusa, Face highlights & details

 I finished...more or less...Medusa's face today.


I had her eyes roll up since she's...well...dead, but I'm not sure it carried the effect the way I was hoping. Also to help with the 'dead' feeling, I painted the eyes as normal, but then went over them with a very light glaze of off white. Not sure that carried, either. 

As for the highlights on her face, I glazed over them and a chunk of the mid tone with yellow. It gave an overall gold cast to it that I'm happy with, but dulled down the highlights. That was expected, but I'm not sure if I need to go back and brighten them up again or not. They look brighter in person than they do in the picture here, but still.

Perseus: Medusa, shading, details

Got in a little work on Medusa today. I added another round of shading on her skin, and then started filling in some of the details. I still need to do highlights on her skin. Normally I'd do that before the details, but I was tired and low on time.

Perseus: Medusa

I started work on the Perseus bust today...sort of. I've started on Medusa's head, which will get attached to his hand.


I don't want to give her green skin, but I do want to give her a green tint to it. So, I've used an Olive Skin base (same as Perseus got), I'm going green in the shadows, and will shift the highlights yellow.

12!

 I finished up his base today, as expected. I spent the rest of my hobby time this afternoon doing prep and cleanup for next projects. So, next time I post, it'll be something new!

Sorcerer: Mostly Done

Finished the vapor around the staff, and mostly finished the base. I am going to futz with the grass a bit more, most likely. But he's mostly there! Yay!

Sorcerer: Staff

 I got a little time in on the sorcerer's staff today. I finished the globe on top, and finished base coating the vapor stuff. Probably not going to finish it this weekend, unfortunately. I need to work on some of my upcoming projects to get them ready to go.

Sorcerer: Staff, base

 Base coated the pillar on the base, and while I waited for that to dry, worked on the staff topper. In the process of base coating that, I realized that part of what I thought was the cloud of...I dunno, smoke?...around the top of the staff is actually more decoration on the staff itself. So, I went back and painted that gold. The gold is done. It did make me change my idea for the colors; instead of making the globe yellow and maybe glowing a bit, I'm going to make it blue like the gems.
