"Mean Machine" Angel - Painting: Dial 4+ -- Groundwork and Finishing

This is the final installment for this project: henceforth, all work will be logged in one of the 5 existing installments. 

Phase 1 of the groundwork is now completed. Basically, this is the acrylic undercoat, which serves as a tonal grisaille, using cool-ish earth tones ranging from a pale khaki to a deep, earthy red. Once I get MM's boots done, I will go back and start finalizing with the oils.

More to follow. . .

PS--HAPPY IDES! 

FOLLOW-UP. . . After applying a tonal grisaille (in acrylics) to the boots, I decided to apply the base oils to the groundwork. Any more work on the groundwork will take place after the figure is permanently mounted FOLLOW-UP (2)--which it now is! 

16.03.2015 - The left eye has been undercoated (Reaper Yellowed Bone + Linen White).

19.03.2015 - Things are rapidly coming together. . . The left eye has been painted; and along with the right "eye", is now awaiting final glazing. The cybernetic arm is all-but-done: just a bit more staining and outlining, and it will be in the can. Most of the outlining of the clothing has been completed: all the remains is select, integrative weathering. We'll see how much remains to be done by the end of the weekend. . .
