This is a piece I painted for Gaming Trend, and I built a tutorial around it.
I used an airbrush pretty heavily to establish my values, and I also painted this model in pieces, keeping the backpack and base separate from the rest of the model. It enabled me to focus a bit better than I normally would.
I definitely hit a point where I needed to stop, as it's just for fun and display, not comp. But a great journey, regardless.
