Bot War Painting Challenge 2021 - Atlanticans Rising
Day 17...
Kamen completed
Starting position for today Wrapping up Kamen today will give me 3 days to focus on Leviathan. He’s a rather big chap but everything has scaled up so it should be achievable.
Kamen had some horrendous yellow foundations to work from, but this was the first thing I tackled, using P3 Blazing Ink to first draw glazes down towards the bottom of the details, then using Scale75 Hykey Yellow drawing glazes upward to finish at the high points. Increasing the amount of the Hykey Yellow glazes really helped to smooth out the transitions, and the effect was finalised with a small highlight of Reaper MSP Foggy Grey (as I had it to hand). This worked well in the central canopy details, the shin guards, and the head fin.
As with the other bots the main armour was edge highlighted with Surfer Orc from Scale75. I did have some issues with my detail brush and the edges did become messy (wings are a prime example of this), and not having a consistent base colour I could go back in and fix overspill or thicker edges, I did the best I could with some Aethematic Blue contrast paint to try and harmonise the colours.
Once all the remaining little details were added (like the eyes), I was happy to call this bot done.
Done, not the best though
