Kaladrax Reborn FINALLY painted!!

[bojesphob]

So, I've been working on Kaladrax off and on since I finished Nethyrmaul, and I finally was able to finish him off!

 

Now, I apologize for the lack of color depth to the pictures, I'm still working out the kinks for adjusting my camera to take decent pictures in a light box.

That's a purty-looking bone tone.

Seconded. I also really dig your work on the base.

Wow, he looks really menacing! Great job on getting him painted up and thanks for sharing.

[joshuaslater]

A mighty feat!! Huzzah!!

And a big Mr. T "unghhhhh" for the big guy himself. Absolutely B-A. A fine addition to any shelf.

Thanks guys :)

 

The bone color was actually pretty easy to come up with, just a LOT of paint and making sure I hit absolutely every part was tedious. I took GW Rakarth Flesh for the base, then washed in a slightly watered down GW Sepia wash, then a slightly watered down GW Agrax Earthshade. The Sepia gave it a more brownish tint, but didn't really fill in the small details very well, and the earthshade picked out the finder details like the joints and the pits in the bones.

You did a great job with him! The bone looks very good; old and dirty looking. I also like the use of the various colors you worked into the base.

[Gargs]

Beautiful. I love what you did with the statue as it is similar to what I would want to do when I finally work up the courage to tackle this lovely girl.

[Gamgan]

Wow, she looks great! Did you do a wip thread or pictures?

[Stern Kestrelmann]

What a beast... Bone color you achieved looks nice. The blue wing membrane is also interesting. The only thing that detracts from the piece ,IMO, is the slight glossy finish that seems to be there.

I actually disagree about the gloss. I'm generally anti-gloss, but this reminds me of museum dinosaur bones. Totally works for me.

Looks fossilized, cool

I'm liking the work done on stones also.

@gamgen: unfortunately, no, no WIP pictures. I didn't have a lot of time when I was working on him, so I was doing a little bit of work here and there, and never really had time to take many pics.

 

As to the gloss, I think it's a product of the combination of the washes that I was using, and the lighting as well. I haven't sealed it yet, though, and I normally gloss varnish minis, then matte spray them, but I haven't decided if I want to use 2 tubs of gloss varnish to cover it. It's really only going to be a display piece, so I may not seal it at all.. still thinking about it.

 

@Rogue1138: That's the look I was hoping to achieve :)
