completed Reaper Bones 4: Enthusiasm and Commentary Thread

Dance of Death is *super* cool, although it has extremely limited (if any) use in actual gameplay. It's just a gorgeous sculpture. What colors would you paint those two? Bronze vs. Blue seem nice (and lore-accurate!), but they look like two chromatics to me.

I am sorely tempted to do Red-Gold vs Blue-White, because I do love the color clash it would bring

That livestream was fun. I need to post some questions that got skipped during the stream, in the ks comments, but overall pleased with the content. 

 

Interrupting Bryan!

I plan to do mine red and blue.

 

...So then I will have Red vs. Blue.

 

It will amuse me, at least.

 

Huzzah!

One named Tucker and one named Simmons?

I'm in love with the Jungle Lord, too. I'm happy that he's not Ganesh, but could be convertible into Ganesh. I'm just hoping that he gets a base that's as ostentatious as his throne!

As for the dragons, I might go with a Yin Yang effect with black vs white. Maybe Black/Blue highlights vs White/Red highlights.

I am leaning towards red or black vs silver...  except I've never done a metallic dragon...  

 

Well, I've never done a dragon period truth be told...

[Sirithiliel]

i'll use my art program to really decide, mock up a couple combinations. I definitely know i want to be doing contrasting hot / cold colors

 

so orangey-red-gold vs a very cool white-blue is a good choice, but any of these i'll be trying out:

Copper vs Blue

warm gold (like new gold) vs cool green (like moss )

warm green (vibrant greens) vs cool gold (more like sand)

 

etc, etc...i'll try out several things, but i'll probably go with red vs white

It does inherently feel like a showpiece rather than a game piece.

 

Gonna need a bigger display cabinet

Can't help myself of thinking about Pingo's spawn when I see any mention of Red+Blue.

[Sigh!] Neither have I.

 

Very little monsters actually. Nearly all humanoid.

[dice4hire]

Yeah, my problem is it is more of a display figure, not sure I need that.

 

But I really want to see how people paint it.

Less than $1000 to the next stretch goal: The Hut!

Love to see a current normalized graph comparing the various Bones KS projects.
