Obviously too late for an SBS tutorial, but got any good tips and tricks for painting, John?
Outstanding! (Especially the eyes)

Cheers guys, and dupes sorry man no sbs on this little guy, I just let the AB do it's thing lol. The eyes were easy, hand painted orange red, Vallejo flesh wash to get in around the eye lids then a highlight with Tammy orange in the center of the eye with the AB. Hand paint the pupils gloss black then gloss coat by hand with Vallejo Varnish. Hope that helps.

Now that's something you don't see every day...unless you live in Indiana I guess! Labyrinth was definitely one of those 'interesting' 80's movies, I suppose you had to be on something most of the time to really appreciate it (or not!).  Very sharp work here John, all the tones go together perfectly on it and the eyes just top it off. |
