Title: Sagan Delay V2.1
Post by: jjjimi84 on June 14, 2021, 03:07:28 PM
Here is my most recent painting and I thought I would show a little bit into the process. I drilled the enclosure then airbrushed a coat of white primer then silver then bronze on the outer rim. After that I sprayed on a coat of clear green and then a coat of clear. Then I played the pedal for about three months and thought about what to do next.

My buddy Casey came over plugged it in and said its leaving with me, and then I had to paint it. I wanted to do something like the original artwork but he insisted on a Hulk. I usually do not like doing such well known characters because of two reasons, zero confidence in my skills and two any small error is really apparent.

What I did with this is using a reference photo I did the outline with black ink and then filled it in with a couple coats of white primer.

As you can see I already had the lettering down and decided the slam switch should be a smash switch.

Once this dried I started the outline of all of the basic features and then started with a gray wash paint and a flat black to do some shading and texturing. After all of that I went for the final details with gloss black to do line work.

This Hulk had more nose jobs than the Kardashian family.

Whoa!! That looks insane and a tough one to do large graphics on due to sheer knobage count.

Thank you fellas! Nothing like an old fashioned grey scale painting.

Looks awesome!  I love me some Sagan.  What enclosure is that?  It's a great size for this.

Thank you sir! It is a 1590u, the recommended 1590c was too small for my stompers

Thank you for the kind words! I swear my routine is build, then play and stare at it for months, take it apart and paint it to put it all back together. So inefficient
