Reply To: What Are You Painting Now?

A shameless copypasta of my post to another weekend thread.

Basecoat for Recluse, a not-Spiderwoman superheroine, is done. The small details of her costume need to be put in with the face mask and chest. I’ll hold off on the web wings under her arms until I get some of the UV resin in hand and I can make a small silicone mold. A quick side thought of thermoplastic use probably wouldn’t work as there might be some miniscule heat production that would kill the thin detail. Back to paint and thinking the yellow will also be touched up later since the current undercoat is an ivory with the highlighting in straight white. Once done I’ll wash with Casandora Yellow for a strong bright tone.

The base will get some pigment love with the “concrete” dusted to make it more convincing. I’ll do a drybrush of silver over the VMC Oily Steel for highlighting and then touch up with some more pigments to play with color in various patinas. The current steel paint I’ve tried to gove some life to in throwing on some inks. It might be useful or useless in the end as I break the monotone metallic.

As a final detail I want to add some spiderweb to the base in future as well so I’ll likely add that to the order when I put in for the UV resin. The many Spiderman comics that just add web for the hell of it for the spider motif are numerous enough to give me some leeway in that department.
