hi lads, after a few weeks of break adding the new photo of current progress on sw figures - the first is bantha with rider....i decided to paint it just as a break from red coats :) .....any comments as usual are very welcome as well as help with painting cause sw is not my strong part of interest ::)
-
an interesting subject and nicely proportioned. ;)
painting is good. ;)
-
thank you Nicholas :)
I m not 100% fine with corn painting ..... I do not know - I painted left corn base acrylic - shadows/ highlights with oil and top highlight with acrylic again .... but I miss something..... I ll try right corn with acrylic only .... to compare it wich method will be better
-
May the Force be with you. Nice job Willie
-
thanks willie :)
after couple days off the job....finished
-
Hi
Nice paint job .....good to see
Frank
-
thanks frank :)
saga continues ;D i hope that i ll catch evam mcgregor face :D
-
hot prgss :)
-
slowly and lazy, too hot for oils (me) :)
-
I like the different shades of green!
It looks very "reptile-like"!
sandor
-
Yes very nice colour variations :)
-
thanks lads ;) ....what a hard work on lizzard skin i hope i did not over shaddow it ;D
-
step by step :)
-
This is really nice! Is the dark shadow under the olive colored scales between the legs an indication that the upper scales stand away from the lower scales (like eaves on a roof)? Maybe it's an optical delusion on my part...
Glen

Glen, sorry for my late reply, as I read your post I started to think very deep ..... i tought so for the first that is like eaves and some pictures made me sure, but some not ..... I looked also at the movie during the weekend but I could not catch it well ..... I guess I ll make it a bit lighter on upper side between legs that upper skin will be not that outstanding from the lower side .... but touche, it makes delusion well ;)
-
so i repainted hairs and fixed couple faults :)
-
obi wan start up :)
-
i hope i m not spaming with my almost daily workout....but this face as i painted does not look as evan mcgregor 'warm' face ;D on 13mm2 >:(
-
Perhaps you need some references young Jedi...
-
close enough, as i compare photo with paintig ;) .... I have couple of photos of him but still ..... maybe after finish of eyes and beard, I ll get closer look of him
-
I am beginning to like this!! see what you gone and done, I'll be getting my star wars figures out there box to be painted hahaha
-
very well sir 8) I was clicking so many times on rieger web site, that than I bought it and started to love it after first touch of brush :D .... pssst do not tell anyone that I saw only 1 movie of SW series in early 90s in cinema, for some fans of SW it could be heart breaking info ;D
-
well, still in progress :)
-
Looks good! The additional colors in the mane make it pop. Take another look at the eyes; one looks larger than the other. It makes him look a bit crazy-eyed (which is reserved for painters after painting little people all evening...). :o
-
almost done :) .....just to fix eyes :o and some small others
-
It looks great!
The wide-eyed and puckered lips look was a staple of the pinup artists of the 40s - 60s. Maybe you should keep it! ;)
Glen
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ..... I m closer to paint evan mcgregor than I was thinking ;D as I remeber him in the movie I love you Phillip Morris, he was pinuped there more than enough ;D unlucky hi did not ride on lizzard but on Jim Carrey ;D
-
done 8) ..... omg third is comming on the workbench :D another lizzard with stormtrooper
-
Wow really like this - looks like a very fun figure to paint.
mark 8)
P.S. One does wonder who cleans up after the lizard however...
-
thanks mark :) and sorry for my late reply....yes, after all issues it was nice to paint it :D especially the eyes :o
the new one is on the table ::)
-
some shadows and lights added :-X nice, but i can not wait to finish it and to start some history :) heavy rock with oils ;D
-
nightmare continues...that lizzard is killing me ???
-
I think the lizard is looking pretty good! The storm trooper is going to be a bit difficult; the armor has a glossy plastic look to it. Then it's got some Tatooine dust on it.
Press on!
Glen
-
thank you, Glen :) i ll do my best, i still need to learn more techniques of painting, now i m using mix of acrylic as base and oils for blending (wet blend).....my actual issue is, as i will finish, how to paint natutal shadows of light???
..... anyway my progress as usual below :)
-
that's looking good ;) a cast shadow of his spear on his leg would really lift it :)
-
X2 Nick; maybe even carry it over the lizard's body?
@fesak: if you search "stormtroopers on tatooine" on google images you will get several pics of the lizard and the troopers and be able to see the lights and shadows as well as the weathering. There will also be some artwork that will show how the artists treated shiny white plastic, dust, etc. Have fun with it.
Glen
-
thank you so much Glen for the tip ;) I ll do it :)
nicholas: I ll do it, this is the next level of my painting skills which I have to pass throught :D
-
;)
-
Well, yes and no. I think the spear shadow should follow the curve of the leg. Close in, narrow and strong; further away, wider and more diffuse. Likewise the shadow on the lizard, but probably less curved and diffues. Not sure if I'm explaining it correctly.

sorry lads that i did not show up for a couple of days with update...baskets made me almost to break brushes ;D ..... all done just to spray it with matt and tomorrow last update with black paper backround

-
It looks good! I might have to snag one of these myself - assuming I can get out of my current hole...
-
