Awesome progress!

[aku-chan]

Thanks!

 

 

Progress:-

 

 

She now has a nice fish-scale skirt (Magic Blue > 1:1 Magic Blue/Sky Blue > Black Wash > 1:1 Magic Blue/Sky Blue).

 

Now I've got to paint all her doodads.

I love this!

Thanks!

 

Finally got her doodads painted:-

 

 

 

Starting from the right:-

Bundle of plants (Medium Olive > Brown Wash > 1:1 Medium Olive/Iraqi Sand),

Tooth on a string (Cork Brown > Brown Wash > Cork Brown, Bonewhite on the tooth),

Voodoo doll (Cork Brown > Brown Wash > Cork Brown > 1:1 Cork Brown/Bonewhite with Bronze eyes),

Potion (Warlord Purple), I tried to pick out the skull on the bottle by painting it white with black eye and nose holes, then glazing over it with Warlord Purple, not too sure I was successful.

Sheathed dagger (Leather Brown > Brown Wash > Leather Brown > 1:1 Leather Brown/Bonewhite).

Progress:-

 

 

Painted her glove (at least I think it's a glove) 1:1 Leather Brown/Scarlett Red > Brown Wash > 1:1 Leather Brown/Scarlett Red > 1:1:1 Leather Brown/Scarlett Red/Ochre Yellow > Brown Wash.

And then her spear (shaft is Parasite Brown > Brown Wash > 1:1 Parasite Brown/Iraqi Sand, with Cork Brown bindings and an Oily Steel head).

 

Now I can't put it off any longer, I need to decide what colour her wings are.

What color will the beastie be?

[Cicciopiu]

You already used 3 main colors (2 complementary!), so, maybe (just my opinion)  you may paint the wings in blue (upper triangle) and the dragon in red (lower triangle)

That was my initial thought as well. Connecting with the green and magenta could be another option. 

[Glitterwolf]

The Dragon looks like a sea dragon, I would use the Marine Triad to paint that one.

For the wings a grayish blue to tie it all together.

[aku-chan]

Thanks for all the colour theory advice, it's not something I've ever got a good grasp of myself.

 

As he appears to be some sort of sea serpent, I was going to paint the dragon blue (possibly turquoise). 

Before reading any comments I also made a halfhearted attempt at basecoating her wings purple (my painting mojo is low at the moment), I don't know if that colour combo would work, or if it's going to make her a little busy.

[Talae]

Purple could work. Maybe bring in the magenta of the bottle into highlights or shadows or something.

[Glitterwolf]

When in doubt use Purple!

Always a good choice!

...or you could go with dark brown/black bat wings. Black goes with everything.

Also true!

Another wonderful work so far. I am eager to see how it turns out!
