Roktman Posted December 14, 2017 Report Posted December 14, 2017 As has been the custom for a few years now is that the GK guys who release their various kits takes one or more of their offerings and make a Christmas ornament. This year after Gillman's release of their Harry from Harry and the Hendersons bust, they released Harry as an ornament. After priming black, I started the base coating - Here's where I always try something - which doesn't work - and then have to backtrack. I tried a highlight to the skin that ended up being too yellow. Looking at screen grabs of Harry, he has quite a rosy complexion.The I added a highlight to the brown fur that IMHO was too red. Time to start again.I also wanted to start coloring in the eyes and teeth. I wanted to use V's White Gray, but being very thin, I added Iraqi Sand first. Finally to end Part 1, I added the gray fur to age him up a little bit. Thanks for looking. 1
Roktman Posted December 16, 2017 Author Report Posted December 16, 2017 The major step this session was painting in the eyes. A web check of the eye color of Kevin Peter Hall turned up nothing. Most of the images show him with green eyes so that's where I went. When dry, onto the tree he went. Merry Christmas and thanks for looking everyone. 2
ghodges Posted December 16, 2017 Report Posted December 16, 2017 Dang....that last pic looks like Harry's actually peeking out from inside the tree! Outstanding painting, especially the eyes! GIL :smiley16: 1

GIL :smiley16: Thanks. Even with an Opti-visor, this is about the limit where I can give eyes any sort of detail. ;)
Mark Deliduka Posted December 20, 2017 Report Posted December 20, 2017 Wow, that is magnificent! What a great ornament! I agree, he looks like he's peeking out of the tree to see who's trying to snake a peek at their gifts. 1
