Custom Celtic

[hez1]

Thought I'd share this...I'm sure the person it's being made for won't mind (if you do I'll take the pics down!).

Was asked to do a custom take on a Celtic, battle torn elder style of bio. Talked it over for ideas, and then got to work:

First - Add a crapload of damage.

Second - metal coating. Mmm, do I love metal coatings. Then patinas. Leave for 24 hours.

Third - highlight lightly with silver rub, since the iron coating itself is almost black.

Next I will let the silver rub dry, and then probably add a little more of the iron coating/patina, it hasn't taken quite as well as I'd like on the dome.

that looks absolutely ridiculous! Your celtics are one of the best sculpts i've ever seen for him. that paintless coloring has got to be one of most original means of finishing i've heard of.

Thanks guys. Here's a couple more. Still some fine detail to be taken care of though, plus the copper accents. Sorry for the blurriness.

The Ancient Celtic looks really good, I like how it's turning out.

Why as soon as i seen that bio i pictured them searching through the remains of the Titanic and finding that? AVP prequel! Ancient Celtic fired the shot that sank it!
