Help! My Lobster baby!

sara zata · Guru

Hi Emily, from the colour on the forum, I dont think he looks as bad as you think he does. Once you have finished painting him and finding the right colour mohair and clothing, that will make such a difference. Then you will love him and he does look like a boy, not butt ugly, I think I would tend to either go for green or blue clothing with a reddish ting in his hair, with a little darker lashes.

I don't think he looks bad either. I agreed with June.

Emily I think you are doing fine, I just think he/she is a little too pink, this is just my opinion, I'm sure it will be beautiful when finished.

Liselle · Guru

I didn't think it was nearly as bad as you described. In fact, I think it tends to look a bit closer to reality, than not.

Agree with all previous posters.

Your afternoon pic looks more realistic than the evening one. I think now that you have him this far...
no more blushing, he actually has enough and it seems to be the right shade.
Do your alternating fleshtone colors again, maybe 2 baked layers. Then I think his coloring should be just right.
He'll be alright. I've done a lobster baby before, and someone really loved her that way. I put on a soft yellow outfit and it toned more of the red down.

Hope this helps.

So glad to see the photos here. Emily, I would try Buffington's suggestion to add a couple more flesh layers and no more blush. I would definitely try that before stripping the paint to start over.

okay so I just mixed up what I was doing and added some more layers and darker blushing and I like the way he came out. I put him in the artist showcase. I have to wait for the mohair to do his eyebrows. I decided to call him Thomas. Thak you so much for the help. smile
