golldan Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 Next is the Yog Sothoth... would typically go purple and green, in the same shades of the WellThing I did, but thinking this is born of Chaos, I went with Brown and Purple and then like Blue... and then use some of the paints I usually don't to add to the Chaotic visual. Went Purple for body and blue (some purple/pink) for tentacles. Should end up being a bit more colorful then typical for me. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samedi Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Looking good! And I really appreciate all those step by step WIP-Threads, there's just so much to learn. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golldan Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 Embracing the Chaos of this creature, I am just experimenting with eye color and different washes or inks on them. Same for the tentacles - just playing around. Watched a Marco (NJM) video yesterday where he says he has a concept and color values ready before he paints... not many times do I have colors ready for a mini prior to paint unless it is for someone else. I usually just experiment on the fly... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golldan Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 It's been a few weeks, but picked up a couple of Scale 75 colors and thought I would throw down on this Chaos beast to get started up again. Blocked in the base with a sand theme and picked spots to put down dry brush and filling in some details on the eyes.. many eyes... 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golldan Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 I have been away from this mini for a long time... Been busy painting minis for boardgames (Kemet & Tiny Epic Dungeons), and some old pewter projects I had gotten for gifts. One of my buddies will has a Saltmarsh/Dreadmere/Cthlulu type campaign he needs this for, so ramping back up on it! Had to shore up the base and put on an MDF base, as the pvc base just was too warped and it kept falling forward. So will have some work to do on that. I cleaned up some eyes, did the teeth/fangs/tusks and some more highlighting on ribs, tentacles, skin and the back diamond shaped thing. The back, kinda came out like Godzillas power up, and I ran with it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golldan Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Few more touch ups and finished the base - ready to hand off to my buddy for the table. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golldan Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 In looking at my original pile, I did see a couple of items I did not do photo for WIP, but I do have some finished looks at them. The Tree of Despair, I primed with Army painter brown, and finished with Army painter clear coat... and it ended up a bit more glossy than I like. But this is the end result with the tree bits. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golldan Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 Started working on the Bones IV Black Sting -77981 (I think) and had initially thought about doing it green/brown wings, so I used the Army painter brown primer, but it stayed way too tacky. So I covered with Tamiya fine grey, and saw a bright blue dragon by @Elijah7 under Paint forum. So going in that direction. Note the Army painter brown, went down well on my wood docks, boats, etc., but not on my tree or dragon. Do not recall what I did first, but that may have something to do with the tackiness. Maybe I did not shake well/long enough. The wings still had some of the brown primer on it, but mainly the light grey, and I went over it with the Reaper steel wash. I looks good, but some blotchy areas, and will need more work. Started with a wash of the 09016 Sapphire Blue I am using for the main body color. Will likely need to highlight wings somehow... dry brush or detail brushing or both, and do some ink or wash to include some purple. I always like purple in a mini. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golldan Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 I think the blue background I used allowed too much of the brown through. It was not/is not really that brown. I put a black wash on the wing bones/hands. Used Blue liner on the body (ended up more of a wash with it), and painted the stone where the brown was coming thru to get a good base down with black, and painted the cracks of the stones on the base. This is closer to the colors. Will start working the bright blue and light back up and figure out how/what to do about wing highlights. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
