SUPERMAN 3D printed and painted custom statue- How to- DIY

Nothing but respect for people who can paint faces and skin to this level. I've only done one model with a full face/skin tone paint. Very happy after a lot of work

Dude, the result is just breathtaking! You are always taking the models to the next level. Holy cow, that cape and the paintjob just make it perfect!!!

[@The-Story-Assassin]

Beautiful job. It looks absolutely amazing. May I offer one suggestion? Maybe do the same series of washes on his hands that you did on his face so the skin tones all match. It would’ve been cool to have a little blue in the veins underneath the skin tones.

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it next time.

Love you work, lots of great tips. Question: Do you seal each time before you add a new color/wash?

I seal when I paint a solid color over a large area and have to handle it, then after I'm totally done

[@jprzybylski]

I Am I’m the middle of printing this but / that cape!!! Is it possible for you to do a small Video about the cape specifically? I keep getting print failures on the cape only and I’d way prefer to print the bust without it and attach it later

My biggest question is how did you attach the cape. And OMG this model looks amazing. Your work is stellar. And I agree with you - the original Superman is one of my all time favorites.

[@evolutionxstudios]

really nice man!

[@TheCreativeCollector]

[@logancrawford7018]

What are you doing for the shading? Are you just using a darker version of the colour that was already sprayed, using more of the same to just build up saturation? I'm just learning and that's what I'm trying to figure out.

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Pretty much. I might use a little black in there for contrast.

Hello, you are a Master... this is an awesome Master pièce. I just would like to know where did you find the S of Superman. Wanna stick one on a cape... thank you for your return. Keep going...

[@AlfieWeaverLeonGale]

Will a non resin printer have the same results (as long as I sand and prime it for ages)

[@TheCreativeCollector]

That's a good question. I've seen some really great FDM prints if you have your printer dialed in right, but for fine details I personally don't think an FDM can capture it like a resin printer.

Yes it would. I thought about doing that but I need to practice on my sewing abilities first. lol

[@advanced6381]

When you shade and highlight, do you use a straight black for shading and white for highlighting, or do you use a darker/lighter variant of the color you were shading on? Like dark blue, blue, light blue etc

[@TheCreativeCollector]

It depends but mostly variants of the base color

[@advanced6381]

​@@TheCreativeCollectorI see. Do you normally mix in a bit of black or white with the base color to achieve the variants?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

@advanced6381 That or I use a darker color of that particular color

[@advanced6381]

@@TheCreativeCollector appreciate the responses, love the work!

[@KurtisJoseph]

Beautiful work! Can you define dry brushing for me? Obviously, you are not placing acrylic on that is not watered down. So that cannot be dry brushing, right? When shading... do you just use a darker shade of the original base color?

[@KurtisJoseph]

I want to emulate some of these techniques, so I want to know what they are. Lol!

[@TheCreativeCollector]

With dry brushing your basically put on paint and wiping most off it off of the brush and lightly going over the desired part like highlights. With shading you're just emulating shadows or where light isn't present, so yes, you can go with a darker shade of the base color.

[@KurtisJoseph]

@@TheCreativeCollector I saw the pastels vid. So I think I will use black pastel first, than a darker shade of the base color after to blend it. I'll see how it works. Thanks!

Hello... excuse me for bothering you but do you have the pattern to cut out the cape please... I printed this model but my cape is not good as your. Have a nice day...

What's your process for making a wash? I see so many suggestions online it's confusing which to be following. So I'm none the worse still.

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I mainly use washes already made from Vallejo. Even then I might water them down a bit. For my own made wash, I use about an 80 to 20 ratio. 80 percent water, then kinda work from there. I usually wash after I seal an area, that way if I don't like it, it comes right off without messing up the paint. That's just how I do it.
