Glenn's August Painting WIP

[grrjr911]

New rthread for a new month. I'm still determined to clear my painting queue this year and doing these WIP and getting C&C from everyone really motivates me to keep pushing through. So on to the fun. I was stuck for a few days deciding what to start with so I grabbed a few bones from my collection to get my gears going.

 

First up is Goldar. I had started this guy a while ago in metal but lost motivation after his axe snapped and I had a difficult time keeping it reattached.  But I've always been fond of the figure and thought it had a lot of character. I did take some WIP pics but they were super blurry since I'm still taking photos with my iPhone, so here is where he stands now.

 

 

The next figure is from bones 2 heroes and villains option i think, the female spartan. Started with the reds this time since I tend to have issues blending it the way I like consistently. I think I'll be painting the armor silver with some antique gold highlights and I'm not sure about the stone yet. Maybe an earth tone?

 

 

 

As always C&C welcomed and appreciated.

Nice stuff! I especially like Goldar and his tattoos.

Quick update for the night on the spartan. I went with a more traditional gold base with highlight of new gold. Both were drybrushed over a base russet brown. The stone was painted with intense brown with tanned shadow and tanned skin drybrushed over. The vine and leaves were painted with brilliant green and jade.

 

 

The mini still needs the final touches but I think I'm on a good track so far. Would love to hear some thoughts and any C&C is welcomed.
