Metal study 2

I decided to do another metal study, I did the same method as the first study however this one was more complexed during to more little details such as the nails on the arms etc.

I am starting to feel confident in painting this particular material and with implement this into the final project.

The final result came out better then I expected I used a lot more darker and lighter tones so there is a good use of contrast within this piece which I think makes metal look more convincing. The ball on top of the suit is something i wanted to add because I did not want to draw another helmet, so I simply created a ball and painted a glow effect so it compliments the lighting off the suit. The textures is really what makes this piece believable. So now I will look into finding the metal right texture for our environment.
