Mydnight Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 So I sat down today after a mostly ok day but with some work on a roof, and painted a lot on my Ikiryo. Now I'm not sure whether or not I like what I have, which is more or less the final product. I kind of painted it in a feverish state, as it were. I welcome all opinions and feedback.

osoi Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 To me the green is a little too in your face considering the palette of the rest of the mini, I think if you can mute that down a bit the mini will be better off for it. I have always seen the Ikiryos 'face' as being a mask as well so you could maybe start there and see how it goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yeah, I agree with Osoi. The green seems a little much. Not sure what to recommend instead... Curious why you chose that shade of green, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mydnight Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yeah, I agree with Osoi. The green seems a little much. Not sure what to recommend instead... Curious why you chose that shade of green, though. The original idea was to have the skin "glow" a sort of ghastly/ghostly green. I had originally done the kimono in a set of greens, but didn't like it, so washed over it with light grey. I like the effect, but want more skin glow, like, nuclear (nucular? ;-)) glow.

edonil Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hm. I can see where you were going with it now. Well, if you want more glow, I'd add yellow and white. However, I think the discordant element in that case would be the blue of the hair. A more neutral/paler shade might work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamwyrd Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I like it, but in all reality she is wearing a mask. So maybe if you painted the mask white you could even do some osl onto it from her nuclear skin. Just a thought. But it looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried that if I tone it down too much it'll look like the robe. Any color suggestions while I'm away at work? I kept getting the impression that the face was a mask. I'll have to go back over it. I haven't tried OSL before though, any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mydnight Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Ok, after getting some good feedback and things to try, this is the result. I redid the hair and I like how it turned out, hit the skin with a wash and redid a bit of layering, then followed it up with my first attempt at OSL.

edonil Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 The hair looks much better. (thumbs up) Well done! Much less of a clash now. Still personally not a fan of the green, makes me think too much of Slimer, but it looks like it fits now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regnak Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 looking better. If it were me I'd add some GW Thraka green wash to the green areas. The should make up pop more. Other than that I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
