Zink Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Really like the horns and the shading on all the bones. Very nice all around. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iridil Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The patina worked out well. Great horns too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of the Dish Pit Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Great job! Everything comes together very well, and the placement of the rust looks natural. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy H Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 @Iridil, thank you. Actually the patina was a bit of an experiment. I used a chipping fluid and it didn't uhh...chip. Maybe it doesn't like metal? So I went back and just put some more of the copper-y colors back over it. @Lord of the Dish, thank you! The rust is easy with the sculpt since it has so many deep scratches sculpted right in :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenBeams Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Yep - that's chunky and the colours are wonderful. Really nice job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecrowlaura Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 That is beautiful work. I love the contrast on the skull and horns, and the metal is amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Vallejo Chipping Medium and at first I thought it didn't work, then someone pointed out that I was doing it wrong. There are youtube clips about this topic as well. Basically: Paint underlying colour let dry. Apply the chipping medium let it dry for at least 30 minutes Paint the top colour, let it dry for a bit, the chipping medium causes it to dry slowly so you can scratch it. Use an old WET toothbrush or a WET toothpick to scratch. Now it will work. The key is water! I forgot to wet the toothbrush and nothing happened. Maybe this is useful to you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy H Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) @Glitterwolf thanks you! That is incredibly useful to me! I’m going to have to make a not for the next time I try it. Can’t thank you enough for posting that! I painted up two at the same time and I only tried it on the one I’m keeping. The one in this image will be moving soon.

There are many tutorials useful to our hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redd Knekk Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Your color sense blows my mind, and the more I looked at this, the more I saw how deceptively beautiful and subtle your work is. Just amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy H Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Oh my gosh, thank you Redd Knekk! Wow. That's quite a compliment. Honestly, I am not a planner in most of my coloring. I knew I wanted red for the leather after I started getting closer to working on that part, just because of historical accuracy. And the leather on the arms couldn't be the ivory or light stuff or it wouldn't have shown up so I took it more into the orange tones. I am thrilled with how it came out, but mostly I feel like it was just a "happy accident" :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruleBear Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Awesome. Nicest version of this mini I have seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
