#13 - Ripley and Friends "Otto Schmidt style" diorama

#1 Post by Das »

Hello,

This is a recent paint I've finished few weeks ago.

Built then painted using air-brush & brushes and Vallejo acrylic.
Sculpted (29 parts) by Henning Doose (Spawning Pool Studios).
Custom base (1 part) created by me (Das) with light-up by Ratatarse.
Assembled and painted by me (Das).

This sculpt is inspired by an Otto Schmidt artwork: https://www.facebook.com/16506612696007 ... 294268224/

My client wanted me to do something very smooth like the Schmidt artwork is.
As there's a important blue light in the illustration, I decided to add a custom base with a blue light-up (and as I don't have any tools to create the light-up my-self, I asked a friend to do his magic with the wires and the LEDs.

Hope you'll like it. Comments and critics are welcome as usual!

Great work.
Nice clean paint, and you nailed the look of the piece.
The lighting is a very nice touch.

If I can get a hold of a copy, you can be sure I'll get started on it quickly. I love the Alien franchise. Still waiting on a response to my PM though.
