Resolution 2019: Mythic Battles Pantheon
March Gods: reference images
It seems each batch of mini’s takes me two weeks. I think this is because I tend to paint a certain number of colours per session, rather than a certain number of models. So this time I’ll tackle five models at once to see if I can speed up my progress a bit.
It was a lot harder to find cool reference images for some of these gods. Nothing really inspires me about Hermes or Apollo so I guess they will end up much like the “standard” colour schemes.
As god of the sun, Helios needs to come across as blazing hot. The “standard” mythic battles colour scheme doesn’t capture that at all. At the very least I will paint his hair and perhaps the halo as if they are red hot.
Both Persephone and Hades spend most of their time in the underworld so I’ll paint them with pale skin. For these two gods I also think I’ll avoid gold and paint their metallic areas silver instead. This will leave both models looking very pale so I’ll contrast that with black or dark purple clothing.
