Coast extension for my urban board (last-minute updates for Crisis 4.11.)

(1/15) > >>

Zafarelli:
I'm currently working on a new segment for my derelict industrial board, a small piece of coast with a jetty. Not much to see yet:


There will be biohazard signs on the beaches, and I want the water to look accordingly :D I thought about giving the water an orange tinge, with greenish sewage running from a pipe in the quay, but what I'm really after is the impression that the water is covered by an iridescent oil film. Any tips on how to do this? Also, does anyone have a better idea for foam than, well, lumps of foam (something like clump foliage, only in dirty-white)?

vikotnik:
Try glazing some areas of the surface with metallic blue and purple. That should do it.

Big Sexy:
There is some iridescent pigment powder out there such as Pearl Ex.  They have kind of a color shift look like green/yellow, blue/red, stuff like that.  Might be able to mix it with whatever your using for water as a top coat in swirl or maybe brush it on dry and seal it.  Never used it like that.  Have mixed it into acrylic and the effect does come through.  For the foam possibly some small squirts of expanding foam onto some foil and then place on your board once dry.  Its already yellowish.  I imagine a brown wash would make look quite nasty 

Brandlin:
I was going to suggest pearlescent paint or pigment mixed in with your very top layer of resin too. I'd try 2-3 different blue-green-purple shades mixed together. Never done it but its where i would start and i'd imagine your top layer of resin would need very little pigment.

As to "foam" - i've done soap suds before if that helps...

I've heard that snow flock would work, and no, I don't mean the snow made from mixes of whatever, the stuff you can just scatter atop glue.
