Work in progress: Small Rangda Bust

I found some small Presidential busts at the local thrift store and decided to use them as bases for making some small busts of Rangda and some other figures from Indonesian culture.

I wanted to practice working small as a change from my masks because I am considering doing some 1/6 scale figure customs. Consider this a study I guess. More pics as it progresses.

I am planning on adding the hair and adornments later on.

I plan on molding this when it is completed, although, I may have to mold those big tusks separately.

Chibi Predator digital model kit by the amazing Willy Kao. Painted by me using enamel paints. 

I had a lot of fun painting this. The details and quality of this figure are truly amazing! It is solid resin giving it a nice, solid little heft. I used tamiya translucent red mixed with smoke to get the blood on the skull and blades. I am very happy with how it turned out. It even has a natural gloss to it, making it look like a nice wet, freshly skinned look.

Figure is available through Kao’s Etsy shop: Digitalmodelkit 

Mars Attacks! Martian diorama work in progress update: The Victim!

This poor bastard lies sprawled across the base of the Moebius model kit, having been blasted in half by the Martian warrior who steps over his still shocked body.

I love old school, graphic Mars Attacks, not the horrible Tim Burton movie, and I wanted the victim to reflect the horror of the original card series. The original sculpt I found to be too cartoon-like for my liking, so I used Apoxie sculpt to add more details like the peeled edges of skin, torn edges of the ripped suit as well to adding more spilled guts.

I painted this using enamel and spray paints. I then used a mixture of Tamiya translucent red and smoke to create the blood on the guts and the asphalt. This combination of paints is my favorite to use for blood effects. If looks so good and has a natural gloss to it which really helps capture the wet look. I then coated the wet parts with a gloss coat to make it pop even more.
