So how's everyone doing?
Things are still busy here but I managed to finish a little project just for me.
This is my World War Robot Square.
WWR is a story created by artist Ashley Wood, Not your typical comic book artist, Go take look ;-)
he created WWR and since its start he has bought out 1/6 and 1/12 scale models of his characters and robots. I have been collecting them over the last few years and recently bought Andy skinner one of the DIY robot Squares which Andy painted up at the CHA show earlier this year. You can find his Here.
I finally managed to pick one up for myself so I will apologize now for the picture heavy post but there are lots of sides and angles to capture ;-)
He started off looking a bit like this.
I have used lots of Decoart Media Fluids to paint my Square starting with some dark blues and lots and lots of dry brushing lightening with each layer.
A little black Media Mister and then the edges were distressed.
Some Stenciling was added using Andy Skinners Industrial Elements and once finished He was given a coat of Satin Varnish.
Thanks for stopping by.
See you soon xx.
