"Mean Machine" Angel - Painting: Dial 1 -- UC'ing

Not quite where I'd like to be, but close enough. . . 

The flesh and metallics on "Mean Machine" are now undercoated. I will hopefully have him ready for the lacquers and inks by the end of the week, but definitely by the end of the weekend. 

I also undercoated the right "eye". The definition of this grated orbit was less than hoped for on the computer rendering: it is hardly surprising that it is but faintly discernible on the bare casting. I have enhanced the orb with paint and will likewise replicate the grating with paint, using trompe- l'œil to suggest the depth of the layers and the reflectivity of the "glowing" eye.

And so it begins!

More to follow. . . 

UPDATE 05.03.2015. . . The pants and A-shirt are undercoated.

UPDATE 06.03.2015. . . Undercoating is completely done!
