So... many... EYES...! I didn’t do a count, but I’m pretty sure I painted over 100 eyes in 3 different iris colors, lol. I’ve been putting this guy off for some time now and ultimately decided I’d never be satisfied with him on my table if they were all boils or something. The lore calls for eyes... so it had to be done.
I wasn’t sure how I wanted to paint the actual boils and pustules... with the eyes so busy, I wanted to keep the boils in contrast. I didn’t want to go with something warm like red or orange ‘cause the flesh tones would also be warm, so I ultimately chose a sickly green color to stand away from the healthy green eyes.
Experimented with some different ways of blending on those boils, too. Almost all of them have a different approach (which you can see if you look close enough)... still trying to get to a point where I know exactly what to expect with a blending style. =P Tried some new approaches that could be promising, literally a blend of two different blending styles I like, lol. Gotta experiment some more...
