tried to do some keyset colorway
matching color from a screen is somewhat difficult.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180320/0c999855927064a7ee5f0f9ce204fa77.jpg)
i did a new sculpt also, i want to pay homage to one of my favorite design.
use some ghetto tools just fun, and it actually works pretty well :)

ohh..also i finally got a pressurepot
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180320/f627508ebe7a7abdad72306794d88b03.jpg)
tried some casting and yes it is the way...:)
compare to my non pressure cast
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180320/1afe3db92ac2e422acdbc3439e39d123.jpg)
i just love how squeaky clean it is
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180320/3a3642f91748d7aeaaf25f3e14b962af.jpg)
next i should try more color experiment. i’m so curious about how to cast those mix color, somehow i cant the pattern right.
thanks for reading :)

If you can clean up the bit underneath the mouth and under the eyes it shoild look a lot better. The newer rahtar iterations I see look a bit less refined and clean than the original sculpt IMO, maybe you should reduce the amount of tentacles to make them 'pop' more
Post by: suicidal_orange on Tue, 20 March 2018, 03:24:05
The bears(?) with muzzles look great too!
Post by: gr4v3m4n on Tue, 20 March 2018, 07:34:44
That rahtar is dank, I want onethanks, i was molding it without pressure pot maybe that why it look so messy.

Unsure whether it's RATHTAR or Rathar but that's a good looking sculpt, hopefully it's not much taller than SA caps. No idea what the homage is to (whether pop culture or gamer I wouldn't so don't assume it's bad :-[) but again assuming it's not crazy tall it's good. Perfect for looking away from the typist on a wireless board...its RATHTAR, but i like rathar better so.. :)
The bears(?) with muzzles look great too!
its a homage to oakley medusa, i love the design its just so crazy :)
its SA height actually

The caps are certainly looking good. There is a significant improvement from the first few you posted to the most recent. Keep up the great work!thank you so much

change the rathar tentacles again and i’m introducing KeyRuma :)

also i have been having problems with the resin not curing, at first i thought its cause by pressure potting. after some discussion turn out its my meassuring. i meassure the volume by eye so sometimes its inaccurate result in very unbalance mix, if you got any sugestion how to properly meassure the volume would be very appreciated.

IMO, that rathar has definitely seen an improvement here, great job!
I'd probably use some chemists equipment like graduated cylinders

As to measuring syringes are good and accurate for small volumes, though I imagine cleaning out resin might be a bit of a challenge. Or maybe it will dilute and squirt out easily...

Good work on the multi shot, coming along nicely! I like the dark Opaly one too...thanks very much..

i did the one on the pictures using toothpick.
i bought some syringes and tried it like you said its great for small volumes and small places, i use it to color the face very accurately.

let me know what you guys think..
ohh one other thing, sugestion on liquified color pigment, i’ve been using IPA but it seems that although it said 99% it contains enough water to stop my resin from curing, is there any other way to liquified pigments?..
