Mass Effect Felicia Day oil painting

I am pretty much finished now. Here’s a close up of the repainted face which I am now happy with. Felicia has been through many faces and hairstyles to get to this point πŸ™‚

Looking at the canvas it’s impossible to tell what has gone on in the previous layers of paint. I had scratched off any build up of dry paint from before so it’s all smooth.

Update 27/03/13 the work done on the face is starting to be worth the effort now. Still not perfect, too happy looking at the moment but the likeness is getting closer.
(EDIT: 07/04/13 What the hell was I thinking, this looks nothing like her… please look at the final image to see improvements :D)

I have a few days off from the day job which I am using as a finishing off week. Felicia day Shepard from Mass Effect is a definite to finish this week in time for the Geek & Sundry 1 year anniversary. I shall be adding the G&S logo onto the armour before it’s finished. Anyway you’ll notice the face has changed again slightly as I’m still not happy with it. Getting better now though.

Latest update number 14. Fireballs painted into the sky 3 days before the Meteor flew through the Russian sky. Not saying I predicted it but… πŸ˜€ Work done on the gun and armour also.

Latest update number 13. Distractions have kept me away but I’m back and close to the finishing line. The most fun part for me is finishing off the painting with detail and lighting. I’ve started on the armour now.

I’ve started the painting now. Although this is a larger painting with other things going on I am concentrating on getting the face right. If I don’t get this part right the painting will be scrapped without wasting any time on the rest of it. It’s looking okay at the moment but I need to put more work into it so I am happy before moving on. I really get a bit uncomfortable about posting unfinished work but maybe someone will appreciate seeing the different stages of progress πŸ™‚
