Patriarch with Fluorescent paint 
Patriarch finished
Well he’s finally finished!
My Patriarch and the first model painted from the Shadow Throne box.
Using Uv Resin and white Fluorescent paint had to be the most challenging part of this model!
I created a wash with the fluorescent paint on his brain to get into the nooks and crannies and dry brushed the fluorescent paint on his talons and eyes.
UV resin was applied to the tongue in layers and the brain; I didn’t want it to look matte and wanted the effect to feel like an aura.
Even though I’m sure I could’ve achieved better work using both I’m very happy with the end result and love the ethereal nature of this model. I love how it tells a story; a Patriarch kept underground it’s body drained from sunlight and becoming void of colour, adapting to the dark and even showing signs of a creature that can function in extreme conditions; finally emerging onto the jungle floor.
