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! 😁

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.

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! 🥰
