Water effect

[Last Hussar]

You're painting is better than mine - but, with that caveat, may I suggest lots of coats of gloss varnish- quite thick, as you are not worried about the problems lots of thick layers cause, as they are what you want for water, vaguely opaque, vaguely transparent, reflecting the light.

Thanks to all of you,

Last Hussar, yes I would do what you says, it makes lots of sense to me

[FierceKitty]

Good work; looks far more numenous!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

That has really worked well.

[Leman]

Now that really does look impressive.

[Fenton]

Both the mermaids and Poseiden look great

I have this image in my head of mermaids going into battle in horse (sea?) drawn bathtubs

[Leman]

Giant scallop shells rather than bath tubs!

[mollinary]

That is a very impressive effect. It really looks as if he is moving colossal amounts of water.

Just thought (not tried this, so do so at your won risk) some drops of glue on the figure, so it looks like water running down him

I am a gambler, but I would not risk as know I am satisfied with the result (but the idea seems good)

[Hertsblue]

Yes, there's a much greater feeling of movement now. Nicely done, JC.

[Maenoferren]

Looking fab

[Techno]

You've done a great job !
Cheers - Phil

Start the tritons concept. Thanks to dry_erase for suppling the horses!



any advises or comments are appreciated, as always

[jchaos79]

Tritons convertions finished

I am start thinking that it should be better if I started by texturizing the water (waves, splash) and then I introduce the figures... do not know







ideas? improvements?

[fred.]

They are very cool.

Yes a bit of texture on the water, and the bases would be good.

[Techno]

I think those will work very well, J.
Look forward to seeing them finished.
Cheers - Phil

Fred, thanks!

Thecno, that is really nice coming from a profesional sculptor ! The green stuff work could be improved a lot, but I did not work too much on the detail as I know I am not good with the green stuff.

Let's see if the paint works miracles
