Translate lizard foot skins on carved wax and color exploring

In last stage, I carved wax and using silica gel to translate lizard skin, and colored them afterwards.

Based on my research on lizard foot textures and more exploration of colors, I carved another pieces of wax to translate skins. Differ from last time, I added dry color powder into liquid silica gel and colored them into another visual results.

Compared with last time, I prefer this result.

Structure & translating surface samples

These samples are results of  3D printed clear resin combined with silica gel casting surface.

I used the carved metal piece as mould, and put silica gel on it, got a result of casting translated surface. I attached this silica surface on the 3D print shells and colored them,  got a result like this purple&yellow one.

Translate lizard skin and exploring colors

As I posted in my blog recently, I carved and got a casting square piece last week.

I used this piece as mould to make some silica gel samples. Doing this is one of the ways of translating the lizard skin, including the texture and colors.

These color patterns are all based on my research on the lizard skin. I picked up some parts of the skin, or combine some parts together, to get some color matches.
