Beep… Bop… Boop
This is another really fun little model and I love how there’s some inspiration from WALL-E, not necessarily what you would expect.
White isn’t always the easiest colour to paint but if you use Duncan Rhodes’ advice and use thin coats you can get a nice smooth finish. Obviously I primed it white and then I gave it a dark blue wash. I followed this with a white drybrush using the techniques shown by Artis Opus (go check out his YouTube channel). Doing this picked out most of the key areas and provided a lighter base making it really easy to then start adding layers of white paint. All in I think I did three layers.
I used contrast paints to do the glowing lights as they provided a glow effect without any real effort
The face was inspired by the white robot out of WALL-E
