Started some more work on the excellent figure from Lincoln Wright's company Wrapped in Bacon
and it is a pleasure to paint! I started with the eyes after the base coat. I just cannot get the face correct if the eyes are not done first. I don't have any secretes, just a thin wash of sepia extra then slow touch ups to get the iris centered and then off white to get the "whites" back. The rest of the skin will be oil paint, I love the slow dry time and the extra thin layers that can be achieved. The clothing will be all in acrylics with just a hint of oils for shading some of the dark shadows.

Ok, another one done. Just have to get a SAFS finished to pose with.

SDR Officer Carmen Richards- finished. I had to rework the hose. This is as good as its going to get. ..Oh Well....

ALMOST done, just have to make a small pass on the legs to even the tone out.

details details...more work, shading is coming along. I need to get the wing patches in gold thread.

more paintwork done. I wish there was some way to not use so much oil paint. 99% of this will be wasted. Hard to do female figures, you have to be so delicate on the shading... Keep in mind the color is slightly off due to the light source and I did not do any color correction. I'd rather  post that futz around in photoshop

started the new Brickworks SDR figure. She reminds me of Denise Richards in Starship Troopers so I'm calling her Carmen.
