Roktman Posted September 3, 2024 Report Posted September 3, 2024 Always looking to add to my Medusa collection. This time we have one that was sitting in the stash for so long that I no longer remember the producer or any other info. I tried doing a search but - no joy. If anyone recognizes it, please let me know... It came in 3 parts - the bust, the snakes, and the base. It was a nearly flawless casting - a few faint seam lines but nothing really worth noting. The one little downside of the sculpt, is that she's sorta looking down, and with so many snakes, the face is almost completely hidden. Started off with adding some flesh tones, and decided her outfit would be red. While that was drying I drybrushed white over the black painted base and then added some green tint. Finally I addressed the elephant in the room and tackled the snakes. With so many of them, I didn't want them all to be the same color. I was afraid it would look like one big blob. After getting them all colored in, they seemed too bright. So out came the Citadel Agrax Earthshade wash (brown) and dulled them down a bit. I added the black wash to the deepest recesses for that effect. Finally, I tidied up a few areas, and added a little more color to the base, and I was done. And my obligatory size comparison pic. Thanks for looking.
steev Posted September 3, 2024 Report Posted September 3, 2024 She looks good. Now there are two things about snakes to give me nightmares, fangs and thought of painting them! 'Fraid I can't help with the sculptor or mfr.
