This is the original head (not the one I painted. Forgot to take a picture beforehand)



And this is the head that I completely painted (hair and face) with oil paints.
I congratulate you for an amazing talent. Looks amazing.

Thank you

Short Update



I made Sonja's skin color a bit browner than the barbarian's pink/blue.
You can't see it in the photo but she has five skin tones (which is still a little) which is quite similar to my skin tone.
I put blood on the front loincloth but I will remove that. Otherwise I'll have to smear Sonja with blood and I don't trust that at the moment.

I only use acrylic paints as base colors. The details, shadows, ... I only do with oil paints.
I think oil paints look more vibrant than acrylic paints. Sonja's hair looks amazing because of the oil paints.

Aside from the color what other benefits do you see from using oil paints? Do you seal them similarly to acrylic? Looks great btw

I use Mont Marte's Wate Mixable Oil paint set.
The set was quite cheap at around 30 euros.
The brushes can be cleaned with water and the colors do not smell like "real oil paints".
The colors are in no way inferior to the "real" oil paints.

You can work with oil paints directly on top of the acrylics but I seal (AK 1013 Matt Varnish - This was on sale at my dealer)
the acrylics before I start the oil paints. It's also because I dilute the oil paints with White Spirit and it may dissolve the acrylic paint
I seal the oil paints with the same AK 1013 matt varnish as the acrylic paints.

Advantages:
You can do shading by putting some oil paint on the desired area and then rubbing it in with a brush.
You can remove the acrylic paint without leaving any residue. For example the leather straps from the bikini.
If you accidentally paint the skin, you can remove it. Or run along the belt with a damp brush. This removes the color on the skin or you can blend it in with the skin color as a shade
Then washes with oil paints are awesome. The wash (oil paint + white spirit) runs into the smallest scratches and when the paint is dry
you rub over the surface with a cloth or make-up brush (+ such as White Spirit) to remove the wash on the surface. With acrylic paints you also darken the surface with a wash.
Personally, I can paint details better with oil paints. I get along better with it than with acrylic paints.

It should be noted that oil paints do not dry as quickly as acrylic paints. If the oil paints aren't sealed, you'll smudge them again if you accidentally rub them.
Has happened to me a few times. But I also see this as an advantage because I don't have to rush

There are also tutorials on Youtube
Look on Youtube for "oil painting figures" or "oil painting wash"

If you have any questions, I'll be happy to try to answer them

Nice update. Oil paint is nice to use, but it takes a while to dry.

Sonya is done
Some blood is still being painted on the weapons, but the delivery of the clear resin will take some time.





Drops of blood will come to the tip of the axe.


It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. The next statue is Underworld Selene.

Looks good. The guy on the ground could use more blood splatter on the chest.

I got into blood splatter during my 1/6th scale kitbash of
Asami Yamazaki from the movie Audition (1999)
