I think I need to put him on the shelf for a while. He needs matte varnish to knock down the gloss on some of the bugs, but I need to sit with him a bit. And think about basing. Crap. Also claws – nmm or purple demi-metallic?
Overall he’s doing OK, but some days it’s a tough line between textured and messy. I like the owl, but does he look fluffy or just fucked up? Should I repaint the snake and try something other than stippling? Am I every going to figure any of this shit out?
Whatever. I’ve done enough fumbling for a couple of days, I can’t tell if any of it is working anymore. Fresh eyes will do me more good than grousing at my brush. I need to do something fun.
