Printed on Elegoo Neptune 3. Primed with 3 layers of high build/filler primer and wet sanded. Painted with Duplicolor Inferno Red/Rust-oleum Metallic Gold. Washed with a diy dark wash. Then coated with semigloss clear.

Looks amazing. I didn't know it was possible to fully hide the layer lines like you've done. How difficult was it to sand?
Honestly with using high build filler primer it was pretty easy. Really just sanding the primer down to get it even. Did 2 initial coats, little wet sanding to see how it looked, then a 3rd coat and a bit more wet sanding.
Beautiful craft
For a moment I thought the nostrils were the eyes and that it has a really big mouth
Great work!
Oh wow, I love your paint work on this!
