Need Opinions On Painting A Latex Eye - caidenzakk - 11-29-2008
Since most of the major critisizims coming from you guys regarding this mask are about the eye, can you please give me some advice on how to paint it so it will suit the look of the mask ? any ideas are welcome, thanks.<img src=\"http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo279/caidenzakk/pairof7s.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

maybe paint it like you would a " normal " looking eye and then give it a slight yellow glaze . that way the colors aren't so bold and the first thing that sticks out . you want the whole mask to be an eye catcher to people and not just the eye lol . hope that my opinion works and try it once to see how it looks and if you get a better idea then great <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> .mike,

I read in HorrorHound #14 the NIGHTOWL interview that Justin recommends Movie Special Effects Master Class Volumes 1 & 2 for eye painting techniques.Why not ask him directly and he may give you a few pointers.

I would make the white part of the eye an off white undead look, but not too yellow. Then the cornea/pupil area a darker glazed look, like you see in most older dogs.Should work out pretty well, if not just make it a darker brown/black eye. I know you want something original, but as IbDaToNeGuY said, having the eye stick out too much with brighter colors may throw off the whole look off, in my opinion of course.I know some people have been giving you a hard time about this sculpt and you were only asking for help on the eye, and now that the sculpt is done it's a little late.. however, I know nothing about doing sculpts or anything, but here are my suggestions / comments on the overall thing.Mouth looks a little too triangular, teeth too flat but mostly wide gives it a cartoon/comic look.Eye a little big, eyebrows have too much arch, both giving the same cartoon/comic drawn look.Overall the mask is great, I am certain mine would not look near as good if I tried. Attention to overall detail for a first is quite good.Again, I know nothing about sculpting, this is just my suggestions and my opinions. Also I would suggest maybe posting pictures of the sculpt next time for criticism before finishing it up.

Actually I did post tons of progress pics of the sculpt before it was finished I didnt get too much advice, but then again this sculpt was not supposed to look identical it is an original take on the part 7 I am 100% happy with the sculpt because like I had said in the last topic. This is the look that I was going for, if I wanted it to resemble the movie look I would done so (: thanks. Jamie
