Swamp Witch Sophie AKA Sophie 2017 WIP

[aku-chan]

Working on random stuff:-

 

 

Finally got her wings finished.

The skin parts were done with Hexed Lichen > Black Wash > Hexed Lichen > 2:1 Hexed Lichen/Ghost Grey > 1:1 Hexed Lichen/Ghost Grey > Thinned Hexed Lichen glaze > Purple Wash.

The bony parts are Iraqi Sand > Brown Wash > Iraqi Sand > 1:1 Iraqi Sand/Bonewhite > Bonewhite.

 

I don't paint wings very often, so I don't know if I've painted them right, but at least they're done.

Good to see her getting more love.

That purple is fantastic.

Thanks!

Yeah, I didn't realise she'd been sitting around unfinished for quite this long.

 

 

Progress:-

 

 

With Sophie finished, I've started on her pet dragon(?).

So far the scales have been done in Turquoise > Purple Wash > Turquoise Drybrush > 1:1 Turquoise/Ghost Grey Drybrush > Chrome Drybrush.

 

I've also realised how foolish it was to fully assemble this one, painting the inner side of the dragon is proving to be an exercise in frustration.

More progress:-

 

 

Finished off the dragon.

The skin was done with Jade Green > Purple Wash > Jade Green > 1:1 Jade Green/Ghost Grey. Then he got Iraqi Sand teeth and Ochre Yellow eyes with Scarlett Red pupils.

 

Just got to do the cobblestones on the base and give the whole thing a good tidy up.

That dragon looks perfect!

[aku-chan]

Thanks!

 

So I did some serious thinking the last few days, and I've decided to leave the larger base I'd attached the whole thing to untouched.

I was planning to blend in the integral base with some pumice paste like usual, but with the dragon wrapped around the edge it was always stick out and look a bit odd.

It's only there to keep the bare metal off my glass shelves anyways.

 

So with that, she's finished:-

(Looking her up on the main Reaper site to get the model number for the show-off thread, I've discovered I've had her spear hand attached wrong all this time, no wonder it was so hard to paint.)
