Shika the kirin

Just finished this guy a couple hours ago. Really happy with how he turned out! Now, supposedly this silver leaf is buffable, so I might have another photo up of a mirror-like Shika once I’m sure the silver has set and dried.

And for giggles, an in-progress shot, cuz the scales look kinda cool/wierd.

Shika is a stunner 😯 LOVE the colors and the blending. What a beaut!

Oh wow! I love how those scales came out! He looks awesome!

Neat! What kind of silver leaf did you use?

Shika is gorgeous. The blending on the fur is very striking.

[Adaneth]

I like! 😀 The facial markings are darling!

Very cute! Like GB said, the blending on the fur is awesome.

Nam – It’s these little tube bottles called Rub N’ Buff that I found at my local artstore. Ah, here we go.

They say use your finger, but HA, as if. I used the end of a q-tip and detail worked with a super blunted toothpick.

Ahh okay! I used the gold rub n buff when I was test painting to write the tutorial, and really disliked it. I still have a junk griffin around here somewhere.. he has green legs and gold rubbed all over his sides and neck! 😆

Yeah, I knew the stuff would be a toss up when I bought it. Seems to work well enough for scaled things like kirins, though. Here’s a few shots of before and after going at the guy with a polishing cloth. Strips off a good amount of the metal, but I was originally wanting a darker scale anyway, and like the kinda see-throughness.
Before on the left/nondisplay, after on the right/display side.

Before:

After:

It’s hard to photograph, but the polished side is significantly shinier/more reflective.
