A little more ominous than my happy island diorama, but I like variety. With dioramas with people in them I try to capture the snapshot of a story.
The insurgent took a lot of cutting and sculpting to mix together different kit parts. I really wanted in the diorama to focus on the ground. It might sound strange, but I notice the ground tends to be pristine in dioramas, so I took care to add various pieces of trash to make it more lived in, as well as making the pathway’s dirt texture noticably different than the surroundings.
Yeah, here’s an album with work in progress and a few other angles.. Most of the picture is natural except up top near the barbed wire where I edited out the light box and added a digital blue gradient.
Wow, the shading work on those… Very cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
