Marcin M. Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hi, guys! A well-known bust. I couldn't resist and bought it. Limited edition (70 pieces worldwide), income donated to help one of the Italian hospitals. In addition to a perfectly cast figurine, in the box I also found a cover letter of the action, a company advertisement and pictures painted by Italian artists taking part in the action. I'm glad that I could help. Mine is #61. It'll be in orange suit. Stay safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 That looks so good. Great looking eyes. Maybe you could drill out the goggles and use some clear sheet plastic for the lens ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could drill out the goggles and use some clear sheet plastic for the lens ? That'll be way too easy! The challenge for me is to get the impression of transparency by painting.

Marcin M. Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 Thank you guys for your support! I'm starting right now to play with goggles. I use the works of Andrzej A. Sadowski, an artist who died in 2016, a photorealist, his works are amazing. https://www.bwaprzemysl.pl/?andrzej-a-sadowski-malarstwo Base paint, mixed with black and gray, depending on the location on the glass of the goggles. It's a long way to Tipperary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcin M. Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Thank you guys! I tried also drybrush, but the effect was shitty... So, after trying to paint a single-color lens, I went back to the beginning, with some tweaks: What do you think? Edited September 13, 2020 by Marcin M.

cobraman Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I must say it looks much better than I thought could be done with paint. Good job ! I believe you pulled it off ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
