P. Mander's Wolf head

[Pred Haster]

Hello.

I decided to paint the Pete Mander's Wolf head I bought last year. This is my first attempt to paint a pred mask. Not an easy task at all...
I used acrylics paints but no airbrush.
The most difficult point for me was to make the spots without an airbrush. I will propably repaint it when I can put a hand on one.
I should have taken pictures without flash, because in reality the spots are less black...
I was thinking to add some brown between the green and flesh areas... Don't know if it is a good option.
I still have to make the veins in the mouth, add the theet and a polyurethane vernish (like permawet).

Comments are welcome because I think this bad boy can still be improved a lot.

Looks gorgeous so far, man! This really your first attempt at a Pred? Doesn't look like it . Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks for the kind words !

I finally finished it today. I added the teeth and painted them. I also made the veins in the inner right jaw with red and violet markers pens.
I also put a polyurethane vernish on the mask.

With flash :



And without flash (sorry for the bad quality of the pics):






I would like to find some glass eyes for it (like the wolf pred) but I don't know where looking for. Can someone tell me where order them ?
