So I finished the Siamese cat sculpts paint tonight, and I am so excited! All I have left now for this portion of the challenge is to seal them all and gloss the eyes. :D I haven't sealed them yet because I think I'm going to do them all at once at my work's warehouse. I don't think there's a great place for me to do it in the apartment, and I can't spray them outside because now it's winter. lol
Anyway, I'm really happy with how the paint turned out! I think that getting all the colours uniform really made it look great, then adding all the details of course!
Under the cut I have photos of the unpainted kitty, a couple of progress pics, and the complete cat! :D
Here is the unpainted kitty! It's too bad that the granitex sculpey I got was too dark, lol. It doesn't really hurt anything though, it works just like any other clay and cost the same.
Put down a cream colour basecoat...
Painted the eyes blue and put down a dark brown stain, after putting down another layer of base coat.
Put a few more layers of stain on the legs, ears, tail and face. Stained the tail tip, ear tips, and nose with a black/raw umber mix. Did a dry brush coat of cream colour over the body.
Here he is finished! I painted the eyes and some last minute details.
Back view.
I tried to take a group shot of all of my sculpts together, but my camera batteries died so that will have to wait until tomorrow. I'd gotten a couple of shots but they didn't turn out. It's a bit of a bummer but it's not like I can't wait until morning. n_n
In other news, it seems that our kitty caught a cold while he was being kept overnight where he was nuetered. The surgery didn't seem like it slowed him down at all, but the cold certainly seems to be making him feel crappy. Poor little guy. We got a care sheet from animal control about the cold since it's so common, we basically just have to treat it like a virus for us, fluids, rest, and vitamins to get better. We're keeping an eye on him to make sure he's ok, which isn't hard when he's practically velcroed to our sides. n_n'
