So Many Dots.........

You can't argue with the results, but man is it tedious. Stippling is the actual term for this type of shading. For this type of lumpy skin it gives awesome results. Here's his good side.

Can you see the dots?

Pinning

As they say in Chess, "you've got to pin it to win it". Pinning is a key skill that everyone needs to know how to do. This is an old Greadier sculpt, and as such it has some limitations. One of these is that it was originally just a little dagger, which is totally unacceptable, enter the pinning. 

Greadier M313 from 1989

As you can see I started by hacking off the dagger and then drilled out the interior to slide the pin through. Obviously the pin is small, as is the drill. Note the drill can easily drill out the inside if a standard Reaper spear handle. More to follow.
