Airbrush Video

[beetlecat]

It looks like I'll need 2 or 3 parts (due to you tube's 10 minute rule) to cover this airbrush stuff so, even though the head is not finished yet, I edited and uploaded the first section of the video. Makes more sense to me to upload as I go rather than just throw it all on there at the end

That was wonderful! It's amazing how much variety you got using an airbrush on a white head versus using pre-dyed fur. :) Thanks for posting!

ahaha that's totally ffx music

that's burned into my head forever

that is slick! you're a lot braver than i am, that's for sure -- even if i could technically clean it off or touch it up later i'm way too scared to just blast all over a head without obsessively masking off huge areas first, especially the eyes. awesome :O

[beetlecat]

I figure I can always refur it. Wouldn't make me happy, but I've done it before. I'm too impatient to bother masking anything off XD

When you brush it right after you airbrush a spot, is that to blend the color in more or to keep the fur fibers from sticking together?

This is so great!

[beetlecat]

Either/or. Brushing is like the final pet you give a dog. An 'okay, we're done' pat.

Single-action Badger. I don't remeber the model name.

This was fascinating!

However, I've been itching to ask -- are you doing to add some extra cheek fluff like this guy: http://kittymowmow.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/tiger-regal_1024x768.jpg ?
Otherwise, it seems like the ears are kinda big. That's just my opinion, though... *hides*

I considered it. I'll add it if the customer prefers but it doesn't look too bad with the stripes - you'll have to let me know what you think when I upload the last video :D

Oh yeah, I haven't seen it with the stripes! That's going to be cool... it's so mesmerizing watching you airbrush... @_@
