I've never seen that protruding approach to pupils before – though I've seen the pupils sculpted on as recesses in the eye before. I wonder if it was a production variant – difficult to prove unless I can find one in the blister without the eyeballs.Curishttp://www.ninjabread.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-19717052880710787022018-12-27T08:31:25.038+00:002018-12-27T08:31:25.038+00:00You're right, I'm sure Wulf changes his so...You're right, I'm sure Wulf changes his socks and shirts with regularity. Getting the right look even so is important.<br /><br />Your Gronk has sculpted pupils? Mine didn't. There's a possibility that they could have been smoothed by the stripping and scrubbing process. Or it could be a production oddity.axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-6751518514675498382018-12-26T17:41:40.717+00:002018-12-26T17:41:40.717+00:00Nice job getting the whole trio painted.

I got excited to see Wulf in your previous post.<br /><br />When I painted my Wulf I chilled out and told myself that he changes outfit like you or me, and that in the far future there's a Wulf painting a mini of me looking through all the old photos of me getting frustrated that my shirt is sometimes different colours. As long as you do the gronk skin in white it's cool – though if you do it in brown it's easy to justify as just him wearing a different pelt.<br /><br />(Why did you struggle with the Gronk's eyeballs? They're sculpted on?!)Curishttp://www.ninjabread.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-58580507834529753182018-12-22T20:33:50.395+00:002018-12-22T20:33:50.395+00:00I'm with you Sean.
