xonenine Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 awesome progress, we sometimes use charcoal when faux painting to add highlights, dirty things up too, it is easily controlled w a sponge in latex paints "Your serpent of Egypt is bred now of your mud by the operation of your sun; so is your crocodile."

LordTrilobite Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks, I tried to make the colour similar to the original fossil. Even though it's quite difference since I opened up the whole skull and reconstructed it. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
