Marvel: Crisis Protocol
"I am an angel from the heavens and will not be disrespected. Whoever did this to me... whoever brought me here against my will... my name is Angela. I'm coming to end you."
Ms. MerkelTook me way to long to get around to painting Angela, especially considering how good she apparently is in the game. I might have to return to rewrite this write up for her as right now I’m not sure how much insight I have as to her paint job at the moment.
I returned to my Thanos recipe for her gold and I’m glad I did, as I’m gearing up to paint Hulkbuster and I think this gold looks better than what I did on my Iron Man repaint. I continued with my lazy man’s NMM for the all of the steel-esque metallics, which honestly looks too much like black and doesn’t feel at all like NMM, even though it technically is. I think I’m going to have to tackle that at some point, but I’m not sure when. I think the problem with my “lazy man’s” version is that it doesn’t have any sky or earth in the reflection and so it just looks like detailed black instead of any kind of metallic, which looks especially off on Angela when you contrast it with her ribbons, which are essentially painted the same.
I’m pretty happy with how the flesh turned out and I think overall the flesh and gold look really nice. I’m far less happy with the hair, which I think I kind of got lazy about and probably should’ve taken it higher and I think I should’ve started higher on the white so it look less like a light grey. Overall though, I think the piece looks good and I’m generally happy with it. With her done I’m finally done with A-Force and Guardians of the Galaxy, at the time of writing anyway.
