Jackal Model 2 (Returning Soon)

Wanted to make sure the white of the ears and the dark tip were seamless so Kat found herself switching back and forth.

Waiting for the last bit of paint to dry before sending off pics to our client.

With the final coats on our painted design, it was time to add our secondary colors, mixed for the sake of making our UV reactive painjob pop even more. With respect to the character's goatee, a small brush was used to create the impression of hair the best way it might look on a rubber tiger.

This became a great marker to keep my stripe work flowing in the right direction. This is just one of many stripes that essentially were a reproduction of the stripes from Quietfire Version 1.

Kat just went on a whim and chose to work from the cheeks and work my way to the back of the hood

A few more coats and it will be perfect...

Dont stare at it too long or make eye contact. It wasnt very patient.

Which way is up?

Applying and reapplying the white in the eyes. Double tool action!

Just a brush...

Working with horn placement

.... yup, that diamond was just a bit too sharp for the client's liking. With some precision, it was smoothed out and made a bit more organic

60% of the way in, but there is something not quite right....

Stripes are often created using flexible paper templates. The first coat wont look so great, but it allows a "trace" of the stripes around the mask's curves.

Lining them up again. Each coat must go on and dry before the next.

Kauko's mask featured the tear mark and a match with the markings on the brow.
