Batman Arkham City diorama - primed

Not sure when I'm going to get to painting this. So that's it for now! God bless you!

Batman and base - primed

I got some car paint primer for this. It took me a while and a lot of headaches to get used to the primer medium.

After doing this... I'm not really sure that I can pull off the paint job. Fingers crossed. For now I'm just going to focus on the primer phase!

Hope you guys like it and God bless you all!

Batman Arkham City Diorama [without the paint]

Batman - slapping that base!

Ok... I accept... I suck at jokes... so without further ado: "Le Base"





















Now got to get this painted. If you are wondering about the metal loop.... that's the support to prevent Batman from toppling backwards!

Cape wars

Just thought of sharing these...



Since I was in a hurry, it hasn't come out well. For mine I used a thicker tool underneath the clay and the thinner one on the top. After rubbing once, I changed the position of the tool on top over to the other side and repeated the same. The trick is to avoid rubbing all the way down. You will get a gradual "V" shape.



Here's another technique I used to crease the cape at the neck of Batman.








Hope this helps those looking for a cape sculpt tutorial.

I do have an untested idea though:

After reading Edouard Lanteri's books I came upon this idea.
Step 1: Make a duplicate of your statue so that you don't soil your work and apply some spray so that things do not stick

Step 2: Take any cloth (soft ones I guess) and lay out your drapery/cape in the style that you wish.

Step 3: Gently start spraying diluted plaster of paris on to the cloth so that it holds the pose/fold/pleats.

Step 4: Once dry you can: overlay it with wax or other medium/reinforce it by coating it with some kind of bonding agent or glue/mould it and take a cast.

Step 5: Fix it to your original work

Please do let me know if you have been able to try this out. I have no access/knowledge of moulding, wax modelling, resin casting, etc

Batman updates - statue modelling is OVER!

Now that the henchmen are done... on to Batman's fingers:












If you are curious about the Bat Logo... I drew it out and used the cutout as a stencil :)



Edna says "no capes".... Challenge accepted :D


















And finally... the main attraction... Baked n' Assembled :)















Now I've got to search for a way to get this all painted and set up a decent base for this diorama. Hope you like it. God bless you.
