I can understand your problem all too well....Prop,<br /><br />I can understand your problem all too well. I've got a finger sittign sealed up in a bottle thats been on hold for ages for pretty much the same reason.<br /> In the meantime, I'm working on trying to get an interesting skin texture on a thing in a box. It's been darned difficult trying to get the various tones to blend. Of course, I'm like you in that no matter how much work I put it it's never quite good enough.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286585667808822050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-60375965201459628392012-12-22T23:59:20.740-08:002012-12-22T23:59:20.740-08:00Oh!

Over the course of about two weeks I've been trying to do a convincing mummified finger. In concept it seems relatively easy, but getting the details of the nail bed, joint wrinkles, and the bone at the base right is taking multiple iterations.<br /><br />I don't mind showing work that's mediocre, but when I'm so close to getting it right I'd rather hold off until the final product looks good.<br /><br /><br />Propnomiconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073463298965255652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-30470129722295633362012-12-22T05:51:54.617-08:002012-12-22T05:51:54.617-08:00Quite excellent.
