Inanis was the guy who got me in to the Deadsculpt line because he's such an unusual sculpt, and I've always had an unusual color scheme in mind for him.
I think he's otherworldly looking, with the almost stigmata reference on his hands that's then repeated on the empty chest and head that appears to similarly have a void. I dunno, I don't feel like I'm doing justice to the model describing it like I am... hopefully, my paint job does--
To match this strange look, he's one of few models I've done where I attempted an inverted palate (darks where lights should be; lights where darks should be) and one of even fewer I tried in color.
And then there's the real test to see how the effect comes off, inverting the image in Photoshop:
I felt like it hit a much more sinister vibe with the sort of blackened meat look here, I hadn't realized how much the blue in his skin would redden the effect, but I think this is the most successful inversion I've managed.
Now, the real question, is my title I referencing the indie film, the Grant Morrison character, or the Beatles Song (inaccurately)?
