What Trevor said

Doing some detailing , darkened wing fingers , added blades, added predator spots

[bucketfoot-al]

This is really shaping up as one of your best bashes Joe.

The Tim Curry 'Darkness' vibe is strong with this one, and then that rear angle is so reminiscent of Asmodeus from Equinox that I fully expect him to start flapping and fly off my screen every time I see it!

Keep going!

It's been awhile since I checked on this one...love the color choices!

[overspray]

I love where your head's at on this one!

[barad_dur]

SPOOKTACULAR Joe!!!

[barad_dur]

Toned down the demon colors
Started working on the base
working on the hell hounds, changed front arm positions , adding more muscle details and veins

[bucketfoot-al]

Excellent progress! Love the way you did that bubbling lava ... or ... whatever that liquid is supposed to be ... (Tomato soup? ) ... only kidding ... looks REAL is what I am trying to say!!!

Adding hot spots
Roughed in hellhound colors
May try objective light source technique for underside of hellhound to reflect lava glow

[bucketfoot-al]

The lava is ELECTRIC!!!

Everything seems to be coming together very nicely on this build Joe! Its gonna be incredible! A 'WF Showstopper'!!!

Thanks Vlad.
Working on detailing hell hounds

[tay666]

I like that the hellhounds are similar in color to the demon, but still different.
I was hoping you weren't going to match them, and am happy to see you didn't.

Coming together nicely!

I sincerely appreciate all the positive feedback, but I am not happy with how this bash is going.

I think it is a great concept, but I am not doing a good job of executing my vision.

The red skin tones are just not working for me.
I hoped to finish and bring this to kit con contest, but I would be embarrassed to enter it.

I am really struggling to keep working on this, but I don’t want to give up just yet.

I am going to try and use some sponge effects to make the demon wings less monochromatic and hopefully look like light is shining through.

Also plan to try and add some sponge highlights to Hell hounds to break up skin color pattern and soften spotting details,

Almost at the point of doing total reprime and starting from scratch (or even offering it up for sale to someone who could paint it better).
but trying to resist that drastic measure.

Thanks again to all who are following this bash.

You CAN do it! Trying the sponge is a GREAT idea - why waste all that work when it just might need some tweaking.

Don't give up! (At worst, just set it aside and work on something else. The inspiration will eventually return). And keep us posted!
