Need help with finishing painting Loki Mask

Casanovanick · Dec 19, 2014

Hello,

Need some help of the die hard Loki mask prop fans:cool
I've been painting my Loki Mask and made the chopper nose bluish.
But what would be better, keeping it like this or make it greyish?
And for the rest of the mask, shall I add more brown shades?

Thanks

Do you have a reference picture of what you are trying to achieve?

Yeah, I do have.

And this is another pic of my mask below

The green in the reference looks more like an olive green. You could probably go over yours with a thin brown wash or mix up a different shade and repaint over it. The contrast between the green and the brown looks more subtle on the reference. The right brow and under the right cheek are the most noticeable.

Okay thanks! I'll try that

And what about it's chopper nose, shall I repaint it completely grey? And later wash it with different shades of blue?
Or keep it grey, just like this other screen used loki Mask.

It must be the lighting because the colors look way different between the 2 reference photos. The green you used matches closer to the color in the new picture. For the nose, I don't think it should be grey. It looks to be representing aged metal. Look at pictures of weathered/aged copper. I think what you achieved in your paint job looks pretty close.

I'll try to give it an extra more brown wash tomorrow

And btw, the reference pictures are both different screen used mask, both paint jobs are different, the other one is more greenish while the other one is more brownish.
The other one has a grey chopper nose and the other bluish
