This one is finished with a ghost chameleon pigment that shifts between blue and purple depending on how the light hits it. Ghost chameleons are transparent and show up best on black. I based the sculpture in black and used silver to create highlights. I also added some transparent washes and holographic glitter over the chameleon pigment to give it extra sparkle.

I’m new to video editing, but starting to have fun with it. The learning never stops!
I recently got my first macro lens, and it’s very cool to see things so much larger than life. IRL this head is about 1 inch wide.
This is my favorite part! The details are always the most satisfying. Each tooth is about an eighth of an inch wide.
Brushing a darker tone into the details and rubbing away the excess ?
I save my old T-shirt’s to cut up and reuse as paint rags. Paper towels rip and leave annoying fibers behind, but old T-shirt’s don’t.
Adding subtle paint details: thin washes of gold, silver, red, purple, and blue. The new ghost chameleon pigment I’m using looks different depending on how the light hits it. It’s transparent, showing the most dramatic color shifts when layered over black. With just the chameleon paint, the details were hard to see, so I’m also adding lighter areas with tinted metallics to create greater depth.
