By way of an introductory note, all "white" metallics will be done with G-S Mr. Metal lacquers.
Phase 1--basecoating--of the body's metallic enhancements is now done. Next, I will polish the metallic surfaces as called for; followed by touching-up of the flesh undercoat. DONE!
The rest of the process will involve staining and weathering the metallics once the flesh is painted in oils. AFAIC, the challenge here will be to achieve an organic continuity when one of the com- ponents is decidedly inorganic.
So far, so good. . .
The cybernetic arm [right] is next. While this will be in many respects easier, the challenge here will be to maintain a visual gradient of depth while introducing a diversity of complementary tones and textures on a rather limited canvas.
Stay tuned. . .
