03698: Tengu Rogue

[slowbro]

I painted this kenku today. I would have liked playing with other colors for the beak and feathers, but my players will be meeting their first wereraven in Curse of Strahd next week so I went with boring black on black. I was picking between this model and the owl bear from reaper bones. The owl bear has that fierce lycan look, but it was more expensive so the kenku won out. This is actually my first non-bones miniature to paint which added to my decision process. I used a grey brush on primer for it because I've been having problems with the humidity and the spray primer I usually use. This is my first time flocking a base as well. It turned out ok, but I'm sure there is a much better way to go about it. I'm going to clean the flocking up a bit once it completely dries. I was considering using a brush on sealer on it. My tests on the flocking show that the sealer completely ruins the snow look and makes it just look like slush so I'll probably just leave it be.

Excellent start. You can always go and add to him later if you want to, or move on to the next one. Sometimes you just have to get them painted.

He looks fantastic!

Nice work!

I like your red/blue color scheme, especially using the boldest colors to focus our attention around his face.

I hope your players enjoyed meeting this fellow (and not an owlbear)!

And I agree, don't seal the flocking.
