Painting the upper half of the figure will be more about planning than painting. All 4 components will be painted to some extent individually before being permanently attached to the torso. Once the upper half is completely assembled--and permanently attached to the lower half, the remain- ing painting will be executed in situ.
The head is now primed. It will be undercoated by mid-week.
17.06.2019--The head is undercoated! Including a tonal grisaille (Vallejo Flat Black) around the eyes, mouth, and the sides of the nose to set the values for what is to follow. . . I AM DELIGHTED!!!
18.06.2019--The pupils are in! The pupils of the NK are a study unto themselves, as they are not circular, but 7-pointed! NEXT: the blue non-human iris/sclera. . .
19.06.2019--Phase I of the eyes is DONE!!! AND THEY LOOK AWESOME!!!
21.06.2019--The head is effectively DONE! All that remains is the tonal integration and detailing that will be done once the head is permanently attached to the torso.
