77116: Colossal Skeleton

[tarlen]

One of the figures I was most looking forward to getting from the Kickstarter. I painted this guy up using Quickshade Strong Tone, as I've decided that I really like the look it gives skeleton bones - nicely weathered.

 

I expect my DM will find a reason to throw this one at us soon. :-)

 

 

I'm not convinced the base is done yet, and I would like to add some rust effect to the blade, but getting to that really depends on what else I start working on.

 

(iPhone photos - in keeping with tradition on these forums, I don't currently have my lightbox set up. I hope to get a permanent place for it when we move house early November).

looks great! and I agree strong tone does work really well for bone shading.

Do you do the quick shade before or after painting the non-bone bits?

Good job, don't over think things, I think your base is fine. We tend to over do things.

 

I was just thinking it may be good to have room on the base for a mini to stand on, when the party is fighting it, I know crazy right.

Awesome. Great color on the bones.

Thanks all for the kind words.

In this case I painted and Quickshaded the whole model, though there are other cases in which I have selectively used Quickshade.

I really like the "aged" look to the bone!
