Darcstaar vs. BONES 1. Ep 2 Callie

[Darcstaar]

 

Thin layer of pure Rainy Grey.

[Darcstaar]

I made a small wash of Rainy Grey:Grass Green 1:1 and thinned it.  I painted it on the cloak anywhere close to the shirt.

 

Then I applied three dilute glazes of Nuln Oil.  Good enough.  Can’t really decide if it reads as black or dark gray.

[Rigel]

That's some beautiful shadowing and highlighting on the cloak!

[Darcstaar]

Thanks!  Black is tough.  I see many peoples’ examples of it that I like, but have not figured out a technique yet that I love for painting rich blacks.

 

 

Added the freehand to the cloak.

It is a vine with leaves and thorns.  The leaves are too small, but “good enough” to move on. I used the same colors as are found in the tunic.

[Darcstaar]

A wash of Agrax Earthshade over all the Browns.

[Darcstaar]

 

I put some Russet Brown into the seams on the leg armor.  Then I mixed Tanned Leather with a little Linen White for the first highlight.

 

 

Then added a little more Linen White.  I also thinned it a little more to allow it to smooth things a little better.

 

 

The greaves are done.  I re established the circles around the rivets with Brown Liner.  I then added gouges with Brown Liner.

 

Then I put a dot of HD Concrete Grey for the rivets.  Then I added a glint of Pure White to each rivet.

 

Finally, I put lines of Linen White to complete the gouges.  Some of the rivets don’t exist in the cast, so they were essentially freehanded in.

[Darcstaar]

Working the darker leathers.  1:1 Russet Brown:Intense Brown.

 

[Darcstaar]

Straight Intense Brown.

[Darcstaar]

Working the bow and straps.

This is after all 3 components of the Ochre Green Triad.

 

 

[Darcstaar]

Gold NMM Triad, then spots of Linen White.

[Darcstaar]

Added the gems on the bow.  Basically the same greens as the tunic.

 

She’s basically done.  I just need to finish the basing.

 

[Glitterwolf]

Great progress!

*** Munches popcorn***

[Darcstaar]

 

Dirt colors: Muddy Brown, Earth Brown, Griffon Tan.

I stippled some on the shoes.

[Darcstaar]

I added some Faded Khaki to the dirt. 

 

 

The rocks are Stone Grey triad with some of the new Ancient Bark and Foggy Grey.  It is mainly drybrush with some stippling.

[Darcstaar]

 

Basically done.  Added some moss as shrubs.  I wanted her to look like she was sniping!  I have a hard time painting the Moss, since it is springy.  So I tried hitting it with this superglue.  It discolored the Moss black!  So once it was cured I painted some Grass Green, the pale green MSP Sample, and Moth Green.

 

Dullcote, Pictures/Show Off will wait for a “Batch.”

 

Thanks for the encouragement along the way.
