Challenge 4: Painting Poseidon: Part Two:
I thought that Poseidon looked too meh just strolling across the water and not living up to his true potential so I decided to have him surfing on a sea monster!
I got out the air clay and got inspired by this:
Now I do know that Angler fish are actually quite small but hey he is Poseidon! And I’d have my point of source lighting.
I prised him off the base, molded a BIG mouth and a fish shape and pressed Poseidon into its back. I then stuck it back onto the base.
I used the same palette to paint the fish but then used some Army Painter Soft Tone to give it a wet look.
I then carved out the underside of the base with a Forstner drill bit to make a cavity and drilled a 2mm hole down though it’s head.
Using a piece of 1.5 mm brass tube, bent in a curve, I made its light stalk. A 1mm 3V LED, some paint & some Green Stuff World UV resin finished it off.
And then I got silly…
