14501, Scuttlebones Crab WIP


Recommended Posts

Ok, here is my newest work in Progress, Scuttlebones the Undead Crad. Yes, yet another one for my Razig army.

This mini was sculpted by Jason Wiebe. It's amazing but needs a lot of care before painting.

 

I had to pin the front legs as the glue was not strong enough to solidly hold them in place.

Then a pale green base coat over a grey primer coat.

Some brown wash.

Some more brown wash.

Then I started some green highlight / blending.

At that point I started working on the base as I needed to mark the location of the legs on the putty and I didn't want to ruin the paint. I used some Milliput to shape a reef on which the crab will be standing. Then i'll use green stuff to create textures. I also intend to carve some waves like the ones I did on the bases of my Water Elemental and Wereshark.

Ok, here are some step by step pictures from painting the water.

 

I started with a Powderburn Brown wash on the rocks.

And, I fully painted the waves using a Dark Prussian Blue.

Then, I applied a lighter Blue blend.

Ok, so here's what I did for the rocks.

 

A dark Bleu Grey dry brushing.

Then, I was thinking of a Beige dry brush on the top surface to create a sand effect...

But, I'm really not sure as it already looks nice like that. What should I do?

Ok, here are some more pictures. Expect the crab to be much more colorful.

The front claws will be a mix of yellow, orange and red. And all the legs will be cyan blue.

I still need to choose a blending colors for the shell.

 

I worked on the green blending some more.

And I started highlighting some areas.
