I like big bones and I cannot lie....Kaladrax
2020-05-22 Putting it all together....
At this point, all that was left was the tail….but what a tail it was!
The tail spikes were the easy part. The drybrushing went pretty fast, and no incidents with the Arctic Blue final highlights.
I decided to do two different drybrushes on the bone, ushabti bone to highlight the lower part of the tail, and screaming skull on the upper parts, or what I could tell of it. I followed up with manual highlights with Bonewhite again once I glued the tail on and could tell the orientation.
And then, I had the fun experience of just how flexible the bones material of this giant tail is. And the challenge of trying to find enough material to give a dark backdrop for the picture…..(I failed!)
So is it done? It could be. I think there are some minor additions I will make going forward, maybe some extra weathering on the ruins of the base, or some extra glow around the eyes. But honestly, if I just stop here I could also be super happy. Going to take at least a day or two break before I revisit how I feel about more additions, and enjoy the feeling of where the model is for now!
