BLACK SUN MINIATURES “THE JUGGERNAUT”

SCALE 75MM – SCULPTED BY JOAQUIN PALACIOS

ORIGINAL CONCEPT ART BY ROMAN TISHENIN :

MY FIGURE WAS PAINTED USING OILS OVER ACRYLICS FOR SKIN TONES (TAMIYA XF-15 FLAT FLESH WITH A MIX OF ABTEILUNG 502 OILS OVER).

 JEANS AND LEATHER BOOTS  WERE PAINTED USING SCALECOLOR ARTIST’S SMOOTH PAINTS BY SCALE 75, WHICH ARE REVIEWED IN A STEP BY STEP 

 ALL METALLIC COLORS ARE VALLEJO’S METAL COLOR ACRYLIC RANGE, AND ALL WEATHERING ARE DONE USING PIGMENTS WITH VMS PIGMENT BINDERS.

 DETAIL PAINTING AND OTHEER AREAS WERE PAINTED USING PAINTS FROM VALLEJO, POLLY S, MISSION MODELS AND AK INTERACTIVE.

 BLOOD AND GORE WERE PAINTED USING GREEN STUFF TRUE BLOOD AND COAGULATED BLOOD COLORS.

 ABOUT THE PROJECT :

 I COLLECT SCULPTURES BY MY FAVOURITE SCULPTORS SUCH AS JOHN ROSENGRANT, RAUL LATORRE, ANDREA JULA, ETC, AND ALSO LOVE ROBOTS AND CYBORGS, SO THIS FIGURE BY JOAQUIN PALACIOS WHICH IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SCULPTORS MADE THIS PIECE A MUST HAVE FOR ME. 

I LOVE THE POSE, THE SKIN DAMAGE AND THE HALF HUMAN HALF CYBORG LOOK.

I ADDED A SMALL PINK PIGGY BEAR TO THE MAIN GUN TO ADD A LITTLE FLUFFINESS ON THE SUBJECT.

MY PAINTING APPROACH IS ALWAYS NOT SO MUCH CONTRAST AND A VERY REALISTIC FINISH, LETTING GOOD LIGHT AND THE SCULPTURE’S OWN DESIGN MAKE MOST LIGHT AND SHADOW ON THE PIECE.
