Description
I got the first two rooster casts colored this weekend.The clients haven't seen them yet but I have a feeling they'll be happy when they do.
I had a blast seeing it all come together.
I was really happy with how the color separated all his parts and brought him to life.
I'm going to be doing a regular red and white version as well, but not until I get my other pile of work done.
I'll post other shots of him soon when I have time.
Hope you all like him!
Ps. I had all sorts of reference photos to use for color and was torn between using gray or yellow on the feet but decided on gray to keep it a little more muted and richer....
here's a good reference shot to check out....

Oh my goodness this is beautiful. <3 I used to have a Rooster that resembled his coloring, he was pretty swarmy as well. XD

Thanks so much Gav...
I'm really happy with how the colors took him to another dimension.
Normally, I'm more fond of the sculpts in clay with one tone, but this time the color changed that for me...
Hope all has been great with you!

Randy, he is absolutely fantastic! I loved the sculpture unpainted because he was already so full of life and character, but thanks to your exquisite, vibrant paint job, he really seems like he's about to strut right off that pedestal and steal the hearts of a whole farmyard full of hens.
Wonderful, wonderful work, my friend!

Thanks so much Rachel!
So sorry for such a late response...I've been slammed with stuff lately.
This is the first time that I liked a colored version better than the sculpt shot...
It was a lot of fun to work on from start to finish...
Hope all has been great with you!

Strangely enough, there was a DD today that had a chicken with a similar color scheme, even having the grey legs. Not only did I learn something today, but it was also reinforced. Weird.

Priceless! Awesome facial expression! Did you do this from your head or take ot from somewhere? The rest is also spotless, from the tail feathers and color blends to the scales on the legs! Great job!

Thank you so much!
i had some really good reference shots to go from.
I just posted a link to one of those photos in my message part of this piece....
The facial expression just came from wondering what a cocky person kind of looks like if they are full of themselves...hah ha...
Thanks again!

Aren't those chickens and rooster full of personality?
I have a neighbor who has chickens and I get the biggest kick out of them.
Sounds like your mother's is no different...

My wife asked me the same thing about the feet and actually the beak should have been gray as well, but I wanted to throw in at least a little more color in the face...
Thanks again!

heh heh....
This is one of the first pieces that I liked better after it was colored.
Usually I like a flat gray or tan original sculpt look to appreciate the texture etc. but I really like how the colors separate everything....
Have a great weekend my friend...
Always great to hear from you.
Take care,
Randy

RandyHand In reply to Hooterville [2011-02-24 19:10:42 +0000 UTC]
It's kind of crazy right now, but I would try to work one in.
I'm thinking the best case scenario would be 8 weeks or so?
Shipping I'm unsure of.
They are 27 inches high but I wouldn't think it would be super expensive since it's here in the U.S.
Possibly around $45?
I can check for sure to see...
Thanks again!
