Holidays kept me busy from creating but finally G'74 is in its final stages.
Continued from the last session, I sculpted out the shapes with Super Sculpey. After placing the shapes in the right places, its time to define the detail and "fade in" the Sculpey into the vinyl to rid of seams from the clay. You do this with Paint Thinner. Dip your brush or finger into the thinner and smooth out the parts needed. Then its time toss him in the oven.
I know I didn't do the teeth before sending him to the oven, but from experience, its best to do the teeth last before painting. Why? Because I use rice to make the teeth and the oven will just cook them to nothing. Here, I use Apoxie Sculpt as a bond for the rice teeth and contour for seams from the vinyl. I did not randomly inserted rice into his gums FYI. Rice comes in different sizes and shapes, so group them apart like small with the small and large with the large. Smaller pieces are good for the back and large are best up front.
Now its paint time! I layered a base coat of acrylic black with a tint of midnight blue over it. The concotion gave this result.
More pics on the way and a video, so stay tuned Funatics!
