Glitterwolf 202173 Report post Posted January 17, 2020 I put feathers on some old Ral Partha Velociraptors in my Lost World. Talespinner gave good advice. And I cheated a bit by pressing the wings from a mini into instant mold to create a texture mold. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes. https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/69308-lost-world-project-glitterwolf-paints-coldblooded-creatures-and-conquistadores/page/125/&tab=comments#comment-1725081 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sirithiliel 69413 Report post Posted January 17, 2020 okay. i won't be doing fancy feathers. Birds dont' have super obvious individual feathers anywhere but on their wings and tails, so i'm only going to worry about proper feathers there. Doing each individual feather on the body will just make it looked scaled more than natural feathering. The rex is going to have filament feathers, so no proper feathers at all. I'm calling it a Yutyrannus since rex itself did not have feathers, but Yutyrannus did 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disciple of Sakura 10545 Report post Posted January 17, 2020 You have a perfectly gorgeous Blacktooth Terror there, and you're modifying it now that you've gotten it all painted. Are you crazy? 2 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you crazy? Probably =P don't worry I will restore the paint job with his new feathers so it still matches. His back is mostly black anyways,and he isn't going to have a full feather covering. More of a dorsal cape 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
