Marvel: Crisis Protocol
"How many more jobs... How long will it take... I don't know if I can do it... Even if I could forgive myself... This is what I am now. And you'll never know who I was before."
Black Widow, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.Painting Black Widow was an interesting experience. I’ve learned so much about painting black, red, flesh, faces, hair and NMM since I last attempted this character that this painted up really quickly and was really fun, whereas the first time I painted the Core Black Widow it was a frustrating and fairly miserable experience and I think the difference in paint job shows. The only critique I can think of at time of writing is the NMM on the gauntlets doesn’t feel right to me. It was such a small space to work with that I’m not sure how I’d do it differently, but it doesn’t quite land for me. Other than that, I’m pretty thrilled with how it came out and it makes me excited to paint another version of the core model so I can really compare how far I’ve come. I got to see a little bit of that with my Red Skull repaint, but I think the Black Widow repaint will be even more telling.
EDIT: Took some better pics. I feel like I’ve finally found a lighting/photo setup that works. I think these pics capture the reality of the paint job (for better or for worse) far better than any other photos I’ve taken.
