Painting BnB (not that kind of BnB, it's Burrows and Badgers)

I finished the painting off by building the daggers up with brighter layers of green in smaller areas until I got a fairly bright and hopefully poisonous looking dagger. The last couple of glazes were almost pure neon green, not the exact name of the paint but it was a vallejo game colour and you could pick it out of a crowd easy 🙂

I did a little more work on the eyes and facial markings, picked out a few more highlights on the leather and proceeded to the base. I added a few rocks and based the whole thing with a green yellow, the theory being that if some showed under the flock it would perhaps blend a bit. The rocks then got dry brushed with various shades of brown and grey before being washed with strong tone.

Next came the flock and some tufts of coarse…flock 🙂 I wasn’t exactly satisfied so I added a little more coarse flock in a different colour. Next I had been set on trying to make it seem like he was coming out of fog or appearing from the explosion of a smoke bomb. A difficult task but since I wasn’t really into the base still I figured what the heck. I started pulling very thin strands off of cotton balls, cotton swabs etc looking for ones with the least amount of pilling. I put tiny amounts of PVA on the base and then with tweezers gently put little strands of the cotton on. It came out okay-ish, certainly better than I had feared. And it looked a little more interesting to me.

Then I called it good because otherwise I’d easily be working on the model until Christmas and there would be less and less obvious changes to show.
