Here's my first attempt at a Mutant Head. This one started out as an experiment on a SOLID figure and I just kinda ran with it. I went for an all-over water droplet effect with some trans aqua and black details. Thanks for looking.





EDIT: Worked on the eyes a bit more. I think the whole figure comes together a bit better now.

I like this! However, I think the black fill-ins would look better if replaced with either white or red.

Awesome! I'm sitting here staring at the pics, and I have NO idea how you achieved that effect, but it looks great! I agree that the black bits do not mesh particularly well tho. They are too stark... I think white might be too sharp as well, but maybe a white with a touch of the same blue or the base blue way darkened down... or maybe the red for contrast?

Thanks for the thoughtful comments, guys.

Like I said, this guy started out as an experiment and I'm glad the water effect worked.

I get what you're saying about the black being stark. Maybe I'll work it a bit more to tone it down.

Soo... you're not going to tell us how you did it, are you?

You get the surface wet, spray it, and let it dry. The water acts as a mask, evaporates, and leaves the drops behind.

It's nothing fancy and I certainly didn't invent the technique. I just wanted to try it out here. I'm already working on an Evil with the same effect in different colors.

I've been dieing for someone to use the droplet trick Looks good, just think the black would look better white. Either way great job man.

Thanks, dude. I learned a lot about the droplet trick on this guy and I'm hoping the next one comes out even better.

That looks great, man. I can't wait to see the upcoming Evil, as well as a couple more with the same applied technique.

I don't paint, myself, but I'd love to see the classic rainbow technique on a clear blase, but using this water trick.

Thanks, Crab Rangoon. I think the rainbow idea is a good one, might have to give it a whirl sometime in the future.

Also, I went back and added an icy blue color to the eyes. I think it helped bring things together and tone down the blackness of the black parts.
