Well...he's done, finally! I think the painting took about as long as the sculpting part--kept finding all the little nooks and crannies I missed and had to go back, re-mix the paint, then end up painting about a quarter of him over just so everything matched. >.< Yay cheap craft paints!

Anyhow, this guy is one of the "gods" from my graphic novel-to-be. (i need to work on that... :\ )

Sorry for the long absence...I really am working on stuff!

The way that you've done the hair is fantastic! I also love the muscle definition, it's very apparent how much work you've put into this one!

One way I've found to avoid the re-mixing problems is to jot down a note when you first mix it up, say, 10 drops of red to 3 drops of white or whatever, that way when you have to make up more (you always have to make up more, those things dry so fast!) it's not a 10-minute long guessing game. You can also add liquid glycerine to keep the paints from drying as fast, or a specific acrylic-paint glycol extender, but those might affect other layers you might want to put on top as well.

For tiny eyes you might consider using gemstone beads, depending on the size of your sculpture. [link] for example uses onyx beads for eyes quite regularly, and, I think, to great effect. :)
Well done... this is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece... I know how hard it is to get this kind of result... there are no shortcuts... your multi-hours have paid off... now on to the graphic novel!
Haha, thanks very much! I'll see what I can do!

Just need to stop thinking about my next sculpture first ;)
