Darcstaar vs. BONES I, Ep. 14: Turanil

[Darcstaar]

Since the Eye Beasts are making good progress, getting the next model ready.  A suitable Player Character model.  Turanil, Male Elf Paladin.

 

 

The plan is white and red.  I’m hoping the peacock comes across as a Phoenix.

[Oblong Yellow]

Sounds cool! I saw one that has a gradient of blue and green for the cape, maybe a gradient color of a phoenix (orangey to yellow ish red brown) for the peacock might be nice? Can't wait to see the progress on this one!

1:1 White Brush-On Primer:Blue Liner

[Darcstaar]

Further refining the ideas.

Now thinking white outer cloak with a green chevron, trying same on shield.  Inner cloak neutral khaki.  Fair skin with red hair to play off the green.  Still planning to paint peacock like a Phoenix?  Red/yellow/orange, also playing off green.  Brown liner on things that will be flesh, red hair, Gold NMM or leather/wood.

[Darcstaar]

Rosy Shadow with some brown liner mixed in.  Then Rosy Shadow.  Then Reikland Fleshshade.  Then Rosy Shadow:Rosy Highlight.  Then Rosy Highlight.  Then Rosy Highlight:Fair Skin, Fair Skin, Fair Skin:Linen White.  I want more shadow on the right side of his face for light source coming from his upper left.

[Darcstaar]

Carrot Top Red Triad.

 

Adding bits of Linen White, 3 more stages.  Last stage is almost pure Linen White.  Calling hair done.

[Darcstaar]

Trying a new NMM recipe.  2:1:1 Cloudy Grey:Tropical Blue:White.  Then washed it with Drakenhof Nightshade, but I don’t think it’s dark enough, so I’m going to try to re-line it all with Blue Liner.

[Darcstaar]

I think this is a better starting point.

[Darcstaar]

Threw in a quick wood grain to the inside of the shield.  Walnut Brown and the Shield Brown triad.

[Glitterwolf]

Awesome!

[Darcstaar]

Thanks!

Spent some time on armor yesterday.  Re-established base coat, 2 layers of white added to base.  It still has a way to go up to white, then going in reverse with Blue Liner additions.  But if I left it at this point, it looks pretty good.
