Legion of Everblight - Starter box commission

Skarre, Queen of the Broken Coast

Skarre's bits! This model comes in eight pieces plus the base feature, so I took the time to pin the lot, partly to aid painting the components seperately and to keep the finished model intact. The subtle conversion on the model includes the switch with the larger horns of the Sea Witch model and a replacement for the exhausts on her back (Skulls tend to bore me a little), these are hilts from some Chaos Marine swords.



So, here is the skin tone after a evenings work. It invloves mostly Foundry paints Butterfudge colours, this is prior to more glazing and re-highlighting to come. The detail is done via a magnifier and my series 7 brush. The eyesockets were left dark and the eye painted inside this to leave the eyeliner, the lips are done with subtle glazing. It is the first time I have painted eyebrows on a model, but the face definately benefits I think. :)

Time for the trench cloak. I am steering towards more vibrant colours for my Satyxis models, deep red and purples in keeping with the Gypsy pirate asthetic. I think this deep red will be signature colour.



But, plenty more work to do. Many stages of wash for the metalics, leathering for the leather and all the finer details. Hopefully I can keep things up to date here with progress, there is a Sea Witch and Blood Hag underway also.

More Pics soon!

Warmachine Commission, painting continues.

Blue has now been completed for this army so I though I would catch up with the painting guide and more pics.

Firstly I should recap on the production of the metals, as normal using all Foundry paints.

1) Heavy base coat of  Burnished Copper Shade
2) Heavy Drybrush of  Burnished Copper Shade + Chainmail 50/50
3) Lighter Drybrush of Chainmail
4) Liberal Wash of Black Wash + Copper Wash 70/30
Drying time
5) Lighter Wash of Black Wash

On with the BLUE, the base colour for this is Deep Blue Light                  

So above you get a closer look at the metals and the panels and sections picked out on the Warjacks and Gorten.


Left you have the completed base coat.

Next, for the first highlight using
Sky Blue Shade                 this was a very deliberate and bold highlight picking out most of the larger areas and all the edges.


And the final highlight using Sky Blue                   seen below on Gorten picking out the edges once again.

This was finished off with a quick wash of GW Asurmen Blue to smooth things out and to add shadow definition.

Sorry for some of the darker images, taken throughout the day. 

Next step, pick out all the other components, the leathers, the skin, markings and details. Then lastly a little weathering of the blue armor and some shiny highlights for the metals.

Watch this space.
