Brutal But Delicious - a Purity Seal(ed) Cake
Highlights
After the primer had dried (and I’d finished work for the day) I took to highlighting. This took two approaches: proper painting on the skull design and just spoldging on some red on the outer wax squish. I tackled the latter first.
Spoldging on some red and an attempt to make the skull look groovyAt this point it was getting late. I sent the above pic to Mrs G as proof I’d been cracking on. sending that to another made me look at it critically. It’s ok, just with a bit too much shading on the temples etc.
So I decided my tasks were just to finish off were to put a glaze over the upper areas to tone down the shading, then back outside for several coats of lacquer. Ooh shiny!
It’s delivered to the north, and awaiting its appearance on the birthday cake. It’s not perfect (I’m mostly kicking myself over the sloppy brush priming) but it ain’t bad. I had fun and the important thing is the lad has fun at his shindig.
