Speedpaint: Bones Male Lion (77341)

[BardicDave]

My goal here was to push myself to go as fast as possible. Start to finish it took approx. 2.5 hours, which is definitely a record for me. Contrary to my usual practice, I painted the integral base; when I do get around to doing a proper base, I will likely integrate it into the display. C&C welcome.

Well done, looks fine.

 

 

Basing him would be a small step

I painted this guy for my Desert Project ( Shifting Sands) put him up a cavalry base and added some Vallejo Desert Sand paste around the integral base, done!

Or just use a cavalry base, apply pva and then flock.

Wonderful fur texture!

This turned out really nicely especially thinking you painted him so quickly. What was your base color for the lion fur?

Thanks! I have a limited number of paints at the moment, so I had to mix the base colour. It was a mix of Reaper's Ogre Skin, Goblin Skin, and a couple of different tans/creams from Army Painter. I did a light brown wash over that to pick out the texture in the fur and then kept adding more and more light cream to the base colour for progressively lighter dry brushes. I did a little supplementary shading with Goblin Skin and an Orangey-Brown from Army Painter, and some more highlights after that, but that's the gist of it.

Sadly, I went back and did some touch-ups and wound up ruining him, so into the simple green he went. I did a repaint and took a little longer this time (maybe 4 hours start to finish). Here are the results:

I don't know what happened but once again he looks great!
