Dreath

[sivousplay]

Another fiery paint job from me. This one is called Dreath (~1/3 scale) from the amazing Akihito Ikeda. If you've never seen Akihito's work, you REALLY need to search for him on the internet!! This amazing sculpt had a light socket installed in the back of the kit and was cast just thin enough to allow the light to shine through. The concept art for this piece was darker and more death-inspired, but I thought it would look cool to paint it with fiery tones and let the light enhance that. I think the effect turned out very well. As always, this piece was hand-painted using acrylics and inks. I took some standard "beauty" shots, but also took some pictures of her hanging on my study wall w/ the lights in the room turned off so that you could see how the built-in light makes her glow!

If you would like to see more pics, please visit my web-site at: http://sivousplay.net/html/dreath.html

I hope you like her.

Cheers,

Thank you all. I've picked up some LEDs to integrate into an upcoming project. Curious to see how they work.
