Re: ESB YODA PUPPET finished!!
Okay, maybe I shouldn't have used the word "beauty". :lol But hey, beauty's in the eye of the beholder.
Bottom line...best-looking Yoda this forum has seen.

Re: ESB YODA PUPPET finished!!
I´m speechless!
I drooled over the WIP pics of the lil´guy and now I´m in awe :eek
May I ask how you archieved the very subtle but accurate "dirty" look of his skin?
I tried a basecoat of the pale green, followed by different washes of pastels or simply smudged over the parts with pastel powdered hands. None of it gave me satisfying results :cry
Could someone please give me the exact specifications of the correct Tussah silk to order? There are quite a few variations, which differ in weaving, thickness and heft/ weight of the fabric. But that´s hard to determine by just the pics on thaisilks website :unsure
Thanks in advance and again...WONDERFUL!!!

Re: ESB YODA PUPPET finished!!
Thanks everyone!
It was all your positive feedback that helped keep me motivated throughout the project.
And it was good fun posting the progress step by step (as I fumbled through it).
I'm just glad to see that after what feels like a million photos later that you guys still have some interest left.
I know I've said it a few times, but all too often people become numb and bored when they are saturated with tons of pics. I've often questioned whether or not to post so many update photos out of fear of lessening the impact of the seeing the final result.
Thanks for staying tuned in along the way.
PS, if anyone has a good source for a more accurate flute/necklace string let me know.

Re: ESB YODA PUPPET finished!!
Thanks Howard. Taking on commissioned work is not something that I've really considered much, but I never completely rule out. I have so many of my own projects on my plate at once that it's amazing anything ever gets finished. :wacko
No secret techniques here. Everything I did was with a brush and varying levels of thinned out acrylic. Any colors I used were all mixed by eye.
No pastels. Any washes were applied over a base coat of PAX.

Re: ESB YODA PUPPET finished!!
You guys always make things look so easy, but they are not...not for me :lol
Did you use any specific kind of paintbrush?
Did you do washes of thinned acrylic?

Re: ESB YODA PUPPET finished!!
Nothing bad can be said about this, it is that well executed. As was said earlier: that IS Yoda! :thumbsup
And you've inspired me to go lighter on my own scaled paint-up. Never realized or dared go lighter before this and the result always suffered because of it.
