Webmonkey Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 also,.. I'm thinking about stepping the red up a hair. It feels a bit overly dark. Maybe a bit more of a cherry-red??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagash13 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 very interesting. but we havent seen the hair yet, so i cant comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Yeah, I think it'll depend on what you do with the hair. It certainly is dark right now, but it isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimH Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I believe webmonkey is referring to the red trim as opposed to the model's hair. He is saying he is going to make it a 'hair' lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagash13 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 i blame web surfing at work for my poor reading skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Heh. I knew what he meant, but the hair color will actually impact whether the red is too dark or not, just because of the possibility for contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 For the hair,.... gonna go with a light grey. Something just this side of white,.. (see kakashi model for general hair color Idea) And yes,.. I meant the red ribbon color going a "hair" lighter and brighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Yeah, if you're going to go with a lighter color hair, I'd brighten up the red a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmonkey Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 ok,.. so this next one is a model that I won on Ebay for $5.00. So given that I don't have a lot of money tied up in it, and given that I don't really care that much about the model,.. I think it's time to try to experiment with my paint and try to step outside of my comfort zone. So, if this one comes out like crap, you guys are going to have to forgive me. (Also, I'll be hitting you guys up for advice as we go)So then, this begs the question,.. what do I want to try to learn?? I'm considering several things,...1) zenethial highlighting?2) maybe some OSL?3) realism?4) try to perfect my blending?What would you guys like to see from me????

Math Mathonwy Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Black skin (as in human black skin, not coal black) would be interesting, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Ok,.. it's been a while since I posted. We are having an Anime Kit challenge over at C'mon, so that's where I've been as of late. But just to keep you guys posted, here's a shot of my current work. What can be said except,.. Hellllooooo Nurse!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Mcmold Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Very nice higlight effect on the socks. Is the cross on her shirt a freehand and how much of freehanding these kits support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Yes its freehand. Is it that obvious? And the kits can take as much freehand as you want to put on them. See the demon fox kimono girl, for example. The entire cherry blossom pattern was freehand and covers most of the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Mcmold Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Your freehand skills are quite good. I didn't see any faults with the cross before mentioning it in the last post and now I did It looks fine and it's very well placed, strategically speaking. The fox girls kimono looks awesome.

Linus Mcmold Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 This is my favourite mini/plastic kit in this gallery so far. Great work on syringe, her socks and shadings on the white dress. The base is super effective, strong color theme and I love the hairstyle on this particular mini.

Webmonkey Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 If only she were smaller,... then I could use her as a nurse proxy for a mcmourning crew or something. Also,.. still gotta do a bit of blood trickling down into the drain, and maybe a hat,... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 still got a little touch up to do,... and haven't decided if I like the hat,.. thoughts??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
