Progress has been made on the hawk that sits on Jessica’s left arm.  The guide book had different schemes at different places in the book so I decided to mix this one myself.  I thought I’d go with a dark grey look, perhaps using a dark blue to bring the highlight.  I started with Vallejo German Grey and then dryrbushed AP Necromancer Cloak and P3 Greatcoat Grey.  At this point I wasn’t happy as the grey drybrushes had completely disappeared and I wasn’t getting anywhere.  So a re-think was in order.  One of the pictures in the book comes out with more of a brown tint that a blue tint so I decided to switch it round.  Rather than repaint what I had done I decided to go wth a dark brown and use the German Grey base that I had.  So I started with AP Oak Brown and then Vallejo Cam. Pale Brown.  This has given enough brown on the wing that I am happy, I’m not sure the photograph below really shows it though.

The front edge of the wings has a gold strut system attached and I approached this the same way I did for the gold on the left arm.  The Hawk also has a hood with lenses (see the scheme used below).  The beak was painted in Monster Brown and then I lightened Monster Brown with P3 Menoth White Highlight.  The photograph only shows the top.
