Hey folks, another painting thread to hopefully pump some life into this section of the forum. Today we’ve got a lifesize Pumpkinhead cast by Qualityprops on instagram. This is cast from the real Stan Winston Studios sculpture. Painted with an Iwata Eclipse, mostly Tim Gore’s Bloodline paints from createx.
I took photos along the way, I’ll post them in order along with a little write up on each step.
Raw Cast from Quality Props. Prepared by thoroughly cleaning with warm soapy water and rinsing.
First passes of mottling. Transparent Iron Oxide Red, Injury Ochre, and Blood Red. Golden Hi-Flow Acrylics and Tim Gore’s Bloodline are the paints used.
Purple mottling, adding color to the “brain sections.”
Darkening the colors with brown mottling, Shading Gray in the Brain area, black in the eyes and mouth. Added random pigmentation marks with black and brown. Also added white mottling and veining into the brain sections, as well as subtle highlighting here and there.
Unfortunately I didn’t really take photos from this point on, as it was all finer detail work, such as adding the capillaries and veining on the surface, more subtle mottling and color tie ins. Then of course, adding the teeth. I find that I get the best adhesion to resin by going over and “hear sealing” everything with a hair dryer. About 5 minutes going all over the surface until it is warm to the touch. After it cools down, I’ll add a sealer. In this case, it was Krylon’s Satin Finish. Three coats.
Hope you guys like it, and hope someone finds it useful. I just painted an Elder Predator and got most of it on time lapse. If I can figure out how to put them all together in a YouTube video I’ll post that as well. Any questions please feel free to ask, and check me out on Instagram at Instagram.com/jackrupert133 to see these pieces before I make threads.
Thanks!
