Pictures of my submission, "Zagoran Sunrise". I tried to so something simple and, keeping within the parameters, that could be made into a production piece. My first attempt at doing something like this...
nice. my one critique would have been to use a color on the eye/teeth/nails that contrasted against the body.
Thanks! Yes, he's glittery, and with color gradations through light to deep orange. Done with dye, gold glitter spray paint, and 18k gold paint. I couldn't think of any color to paint the eye that wouldn't detract from the overall appearance, but I guess I still have a couple days to think about it.
Nice job, love the colors!. I bet in person the eye contrasts more than in the pic. Add a pupil into the center of the eye with a dark marroon?. I like how you had production in mind while doing this. I have to get started on my Zag entry.
Actually the pupil IS painted the same gold as the teeth and nails, and there's a gold highlight on the ridge over it as well. It just doesn't show up really well in the picture. It's hard to photograph metallics well...
Beautiful entry coasterbear, I can see what you mean by saying how you couldnt think of a colour for the pupil, without detracting from the over all look. If after the competition you would like to sell this Zagoran let me know please as i am interested The gold an orange is a great combo and I reckon it would look way better in person.
The S7 blog also has a picture of my other submission, which is a tribute to Super 7, and also a stab at stuffing a figure with something that I hadn't seen used before...the feathers don't read very well, but it was kind of fun
