The beauty of masks- taping an area before you paint

In working on painting my robot there is a really handy feature of Mari that allows you to have a whole fill of a color texture (flat color; rust; etc) then enable it to only be seen through a mask layer that you can paint and reveal areas you want over time, it's great control and neat to see the idea chisled away.

The realism and concept slowly comes through, this is my first attempt at making something worn torn and rusted. It's quite fun!
