Teutonic knight of colours |
base - Pthalo green + yellow oxide
up - green and yellow ink, with more pthalo green added
down - base + violet mix from the JS Ultramarine Blue and red ink. Random shades using the base + ultramarine blue for variety.
I did try using white to highlight the green but that (as expected) chalked out the green. I also found that adding yellow made a much more dynamic highlight over the white. Really added shine to the green over lightness (aka whiteness).
For the three shadow folds the wife suggested making them each a different height (originally two were roughly the same). This added greatly to the dynamics of the cloth.
I'm not sold on the green to be honest. It doesn't sit right to me. Perhaps it's just too much, or maybe needs some texture on it?
28mm bridge |
Second up was adding some flock/scatter to the bridge to make it look a bit more run down.
fix up time |
Finally started to fix up a Celtic bust I purchased awhile ago. The figure came with a left hand instead of a right hand. So I cut off the fingers and thumb, glued on the hand stump and started to sculpt new fingers/thumb and fix up the sleeve. For the sculpting I used a mixture of green stuff and standard milliput.
