New take on bracers, figurecarving

Recommended Posts

In progress pics! Wings are tattooflash and lionshead is from a non lineart drawing so had to study and think about it twice before doing it.

Lionshead is painted with diluted black and I'm not totally happy with it. I meant to be as accurate to the original drawing as possible thus creating a statue like surface. The wings will have antiquing and some black colour tomorrow. Formdrying it now.

Ha ha thanks rdb!!!

This one is portfoliowork for myself but I'm considering to put it up for sale "to whomever pays the right price".

This one's just too many hours. The white is diluted cova colour and takes ages to get on. Any advice to how to get it on fast without getting it sitting on top and not using an airbrush would be highly appreciated !!! I suspect any acrylic would take just as long, I dilute it to make it sink into the leather so that texture and leatherlook is not lost, downside is the many many coats needed.

Thank you very much all!!!

This definetly the most complex bracer I've done. Over time you've seen me using a few different tecniques but most times I make a design out of doing it with one or two major techniques. This one has most of the techniques I use in it except for blockdyeing. Most skills picked up here so as usual, I owe it to the good people and the sharing atmosphere here at the board, nutting else!!!

He he I've been nagging about the importance of borders alot so just had to make this one work without borders...to try and get my point through that there is always an exception that confirms the rule. Hope it does!!!!

Here's the finished bracers post:Lionshead with wings

Thanks for looking and commenting, I am overwhelmed....again !!!!!
