Bones 5: Bronze Golem

[Guyra]

I painted up this Bronze Golem from Bones 5. It's been on my desk for some time now, and I'm happy with how he turned out.

Black base coat with a heavy drybrush of Army Painter "Evil Chrome" metallic, then drybrush again for highlights with Citadel "Retributor Armour", and finally given a Reikland Fleshshade wash. The Roman "mohawk" thing is Army Painter "D&D Dragonfire Red" highlighted with Reaper "09094 Clear Red". The leather skirt is Reaper "09653 Deadrose Red-HD", with a Citadel "Nuln Oil" wash, but the colour disappeared a bit in the photos.

Great work!  Despite it being drybrushed, it looks very clean and precise.

Thank you! 😄 Drybrushing is simultaneously an overestimated and underestimated technique.

Annnnnd nailed it.  Thanks for listing the colors because this is exactly what I want mine to look!

I'm super-impressed. Great advertisement for drybrushing, here. 🙂

 

Lovely photography to show off the piece, too. The black under the helmet and near the shoulders really work with the black background.

Thank you! Yeah, it really helps having a decent lightbox setup. :D
