Brushmistress Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Here's a couple of pics I shot this morning & cobbled into a montage for the Psycho entry. I wasn't happy with the pics in the entry gallery (that's what I get for shooting in front a black background!), so I figured I'd post them here now that the judges are all finished. These better show the "dingyness" of the tiles on the floor and shower, as well as show the open stab wounds clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doll Face Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Nice pics ! The ones from the contest where fine enought for me. A strange thing on this pics, the girl looks like a dool... It is maybe due to the painting of the eyes. Something I wanted to ask you about this mini ; how did you do the blood on the wall ? Did you crash a small animal on it or play with your brush ??

Brushmistress Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 how did you do the blood on the wall ? Did you crash a small animal on it or play with your brush ?? Lol- Disclaimer: No small animals were hurt during the making of this diorama. Actually, I butchered a stiff plastic bristled brush to about a 1/4 length, loaded it with a blood-like color, held it in front of the wall and then ran my finger from the bristles closest to the wall towards me. What winds up happening is the bristles "throw" the paint at the wall as they are released from your fingertip. It's a bit messy (don't leave any wips close by), but it looks pretty cool.

TheBugKing Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I think you may score a bit better on theme this time Jess. I'm disappointed in you. (LOL) It looks great. I like the fact that you modified the blood spatter from your WIP as well. This looks much more natural and fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterdita Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I hope not! We may have to do an intervention if it is! She can paint in your asylum with her toes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skya Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Oooo yeah, those are much better pictures. The skintones have much more contrast and color too them and the whole thing has more color intensity to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonherald Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I can imagine the relatives visiting and having a nosy at what you've been workng on ........... Loading a brush with the blood and blowing a short hard blast of air produces great spatter aswell and has the added benefit on a vertical surface that it produces runs of colour... The one thing I think that throws this one for me and this is being really anal ..Is she's in te shower but she's dry ??? and she hasn't picked up much splatter on her skin and hair if you know what I mean.. easy to overcook blood but a little drip and streak here and teres would go a long way.. still love it.. so many great interpretations of theme this round though.great stuff I'm rooting for ya.

I would have loved to have covered her in a gloss coat & sprayed some blood on her, but I was terrifed that I would screw her up when I applied the effects. I'll have to try the loaded brush thing btw...I have to admit I used your article (at least I think it was yours - read it a while ago) for the blood spray on the shower wall.

Math Mathonwy Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 :bath: Very cool stuff! The girl does indeed look somewhat doll-like in these pics while I don't she did so in the previous ones. I love the craftsmanship of the whole scene - super cool. The wall texture is awesome!
