Bones II Sharkman, 77178

[Pingo]

While not the first started, this is my first finished from the Bones II Kickstarter. 

 

This mini is huge, the size of a small dragon.

 

As usual, I am lazy-arsed about basing and have simply painted up the base as-is.

 

Comments and criticisms honestly appreciated.

I think you got the perfect color for that great white! It's fantastic! And I love the driftwood effect on the arm shield things!

I think someday I want some of these. The shark is perfect. I will take inspiration from this.

Don't want to meet him in a dark alley...that would be a terrible Random Encounters table for a city.

The colors are beautiful pingo!

[Matbar]

Good stuff...he looks like he's eaten a few people and is ready for more.  The painting on the shark-tooth weapon (ha) is particularly well done, as is the driftwood already mentioned. 

[Tarsemina]

Nice good on the coloring. I love who realistic it looks.

[ub3r_n3rd]

Very nicely done!

[Pingo]

The colors are mostly a whole lot of variations of mixed greys.

Love the colors. Looks very sharklike.  You achieved a lot of depth with various tones of grey.  Do you recall what mix you used to produce the darkest color on the top of the shark? Is there any blue in there, or just neutral grey and black?

Really nice color! Did you do Shaded Basecoat?

All of the greys are straight mixes of Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna, and Titanium White, with the proportions adjusted to tilt it cooler or warmer, darker or lighter as needed.

 

At some point in the middle I washed a pretty dark, pretty neutral mix of Burnt Sienna and Ultramarine Blue over the upper parts of the creature, but that was followed by lots of more nuanced greys.

 

I used pure Carbon Black in the creature's eyes and just a touch in the gill slits, but that's the only black I used.

 

The driftwood wrist guards use the same color mix, just shifted more towards the brown end.
