Popular Post Darius Glenwell Posted November 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hey folks! I finished up Wyrmgear this week for a client. Took me about 5-6 hours of work, most of it on the brass/bronze and the wings. I went with a stippling effect on the wings to make them look like canvas. I used GW Karak Stone as the base coat with a Reikland Flesh wash. Then a glaze of Ushabti Bone and a wash of Agrax Earthshade. I then started the stippling with some more of the bone, then Ivory White, Oyster White, and Skull White, and then Pure White. The metals are Ceramcoat Bronze and Pewter with several washes of Flesh, Earthshade, Nuln Oil, and highlighted with Bronze, Burnished gold, and sliver (for the brass/bronze) and Gunbolt up to Mithril Silver for the steel. The shields are painted using GW Mordian Blue, RMSP Sky Blue and over brushed with Silver. The design on the shields was taken from a design I saw on an angel statue in our local hardware store Christmas display. I used a Micron 01 Archival Pen to draw it on. Thanks for looking! 83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trystangst Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The canvas effect really works, especially in those middle pictures where it looks almost backlit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Crow Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Very nice job Tom. Saw it on FB but these are better pics. Great wings and great job weathering the metal. Nice subtle freehand on the shields. It's the best painted version I have seen of this mini... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulture Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) probably my favorite version of this model i have seen. I'm happy to see that you went for gritty realism over the hyper smooth and pristine clean style that is "all the rage." the washes on the metallics give this beast a proper oily/grubby look that i think is very appropriate. you've really nailed an aesthetic that i love.

Pragma Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I like your take on Wyrmgear, it's almost exactly as I picture him in my mind. I especially like the freehand "etching" effect on the shields. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
