yuan-ti Nagendra Swordswoman (Bones V 1028)

[Count Urlik]

I did a Nagendra Swordsman for RCL in January based on the blue pit viper.  It was fun, so I figured I’d set him up with a date.  Get ready for a teeming horde of blue baby snakes (calling out any fans of Zappa…!).

 

Anyways, this time I knew to put magenta down first, then work on the blues.  I didn’t go into it planning it as an NMM study, but the copper, steel and gold all seemed appropriate choices.  I was happy with the effect I got by adding a purple wash into the copper triad, it seemed to give a better burnish to the highlight color, which then could be selectively pushed with a second highlighting (verdigris was last).  Still not happy with the sword, but all of the relief work makes those Nagendra swords tough!

 

As always, comments and criticism are welcomed!
