PERMAFROST SHUB: FULL REVEAL

The day is here for the full reveal! This  project has been a wild ride for me personally. When it comes to painting something like this, I really tend to want to go all out & go crazy.  What I love about this figure, is it really gives you every avenue to explore, paint and lend your own creativity to. Instinctively, it's hard to keep an airbrush away from this figure, so I literally had to be careful when I first got gun in hand, because the true beauty of this sculpt is in the details. So I wanted to highlight the inherent details in the figure, in a new way, but without smothering the figure! Coming from a background in aerosol and then acrylic, I am used to being an American artist who slathers color on everything. It was a good exercise for me to try and take what I have learned over the last few years from what I'd call the "traditional" kaiju style painters in both Japan and those in the US who have seemed to master the perfect balance of paint & vinyl base color. It's definitely hard as a "newer" painter to pay tribute to those styles, but create your own signature as well, and I'm really happy at how this got turned out. Traditional kaiju loose spray combined with a neo-American wild style is the finished product I'd say. I highlighted the amazing details, and let the base color shine through. I think I did this guy justice, and I hope you all do too!

So without further ado, I present to you, the Shub Zeroth Permafrost version.  (photos by Justin Jewitt)
