Zatch

I can tell there is quite a bit of detail here. But it seems to get lost to the bright backdrop of the photo. The figure seems really dark in comparison and detail gets lost.

I love the shell on this guy!

dude! this wins best of iron painter 2018 in my book. holy crap!

This is one of the best photography shoots I have seen in my 3 years of this competition! well done!

The tv is really good!

Im doing the same thing!!! But doing more of a wraith shape.

where did you find an entire barroom set?

going for the demogorgon.

YES!!!! monokuma is the best use for the bad teddy figure!

What figures are those?

with resin you should use smaller pours and a blow dryer/heat gun to remove all the bubbles from the resin. this will make it a lot more clear and will show off the painting you did inside.

Compared to your first entry this look a bit rushed imo. I like the cartoonish look, but I would have liked more strong delimitation between parts (like fins and lightbulbs on tentacle endings). Water has nice shades, but it looks a bit static.

thanks for the feed back! Yeah it was rushed because I was painting from a hotel and didn't have a lot of time to work on it.

Heh, I painted the same figure for a previous contest here on Wyrd. I even used a pretty similar color scheme. The painting looks nice, but I guess it is not terribly strong on the theme. 

Unfortunately I was limited to figures I had in my collection that already had a water element and could be packed away on a plane :/

You recovered really nicely! I really have to commend the effort there.

this one is amazing! the atmosphere you created is so creepy!

the free hand is impressive!

anime girl water spirit!

reminds me of Ultros fro Final Fantasy 6. you first encounter him while navigating a raft down a bunch of rapids and he his floating there on a log.

This is amazing! Well done

how did you make that book cover? that is ridiculous! haha.

well done

Seems we are facing each other in round 2. good luck man!

Hey Jpowah I am giving some comments on what I see. I hope you pass it along to others as you can.

The good:

• The OSL signing onto the figure and the bones is really well done, really smooth and subtle.
• the land scaping on the base and the lava effects are really well done

Constructive Criticism:

• doing liquid effects in landscaping can be hard, using materials like realistic water effects or woodland scenic can give you a really glossy finish which causes glare in photos, just something to watch out for.
• your main figure needs more highlights and lowlights, the headpiece and face are big focus points and they don't have a lot color variation. even something as simple as dirtying up some places would bring some more detail to the figure. 

good luck next round!

Hey mrcoblin I am giving some comments on what I see. I hope you pass it along to others as you can.

The good:

• The aesthetic of the piece was great. the color choices and the use of muscle toning and highlights/lowlights really brings the piece to life

Constructive Criticism:

• I didn't see much OSL in this piece, I assume the purple on the mans face/shoulders is the OSL and it looks a lot like decaying flesh from being devoured. 
• Showing all the detail of your mini with multiple pictures is nice, but when you use too many photos it takes away from the collage as a whole. I would pick two or three strategic photo angles to really highlight your submission

good luck next round!

Hey scott-42 I am giving some comments on what I see. I hope you pass it along to others as you can.

The good:

• The wolf looks awesome! the fur work and the eyes seem to have life to them.
• the landscaping of the wall and dirt and rubble and fallen tree is really nice.
• the glazing you used for the OSL on the rocks is really nice
• the way you made the light source really pop against Red is good, you can really tell what the source light is.

Constructive Criticism:

• The whole piece is a bit to bright. the only way I know the rocks are lit is because the yellow glaze. The wold and the back side of the wall should be darker or more subdued.
• the OSL layers on Red herself is a bit to harsh, I would look into ways to make your fades and transitions a little smoother. watering down your paints more is one way that is brought up a lot, but there are other methods such as two brush blending that work just as well if not better.
• Red looks like the undertaker, I know doing eyes are really hard, but even just a hit of a pupil/iris helps. the pupils on the wolf really brings the character to life.

good luck next round!

Hey dragonkey, I'm tossing some comments your way on what I saw in your figure. hope you can do the same

The good:

• the detail in the books and candles and face is really good
• I like the sculpt on the fire on the base
• the backdrop is on point!

Constructive Criticism: 

• The OSL yellow on this is very heavy in small areas, it didn't transition well. this makes it look almost like it is part of the clothing as opposed to a glow from the candles.
• the sculpted fire on the bottom needed a little more orange like the candles had.
• The submission itself has a few too many photos, it is good to give different angles of your piece especially when the detail is there, but when there is too much going on it is hard to focus in on the piece.

good luck next round!

This one was beautiful. I enjoyed seeing your wip of the sculpting as it came along
