77189: Creature of Blood Reef

[Pingo]

This is one of numerous aquatic creatures I'm painting for some oceanic-themed adventures.  This one is for a PC.  He's from the original Bones Kickstarter.

 

He had a serious tendency to fall over backwards, so I glued him down to a one-inch fender washer.  I primed him last year (before I seriously took to Reaper's Brown Liner) with a medium brown mixed from Burnt Umber and Titanium White, then washed pure Burnt Umber over him to pick out the details.

 

The first thing I did was wash over him again with a deep green mixed from Phthalo Green and Burnt Sienna.

 

Then I mixed a paler green from that with an addition of Hansa Yellow Opaque, Yellow Iron Oxide, and Titanium White, and brushed it lightly over the creature as a sort of basic highlight placement.  I also washed over the base with a sandy yellow color.
