CRC's Crazy Compendium 2; Eclectic Boogaloo
"How many monsters does Lord Tywin have?"
Vargo Hoat is done…almost… I missed a clasp on the end of the belt but I’ll fix that later. I managed to avoid screwing up the cloak while getting to the other details and I managed to get my idea for fancy trousers done too! Most of the colours are fairly simple tones for leather and such. The skin tone is entirely contrast but to give a slightly different tone I used more sandy colours like Ushabti Bone (GW) as the base coat so that slightly more brown tone shows through. It’s not perfect, but it works well enough.
The trousers were something I haven’t done very often with stripes, so I decided to paint the trousers in blue first and highlighted them right up (I used the same pattern of colours as the Royal Artillery Officer’s jacket below). After that I took some thinned Celestra Grey (GW) to paint the white stripes. Using the thin paint allows some of the shading of the blue to show through, then it’s a matter of highlighting up to some pure white. Actually a bit simpler than I thought it would be, though painting in straight lines is a bit tricky sometimes…
Just ignore the grey clasp on the end of the belt... Other than that boo-boo I think he turned out well.
Not much change on the sides and back...seeing as the cloak is such a large part of the mini.
The fur turned out quite nicely. Zandri Dust (GW) shaded with Seraphim Sepia (GW) and then Agrax Earthshade (GW) closer towards the collar before highlighting with Ushabti Bone and Screaming Skull (GW).
And the Lloyd shot!No immediate plans for a next project at the moment. Dealing with a bit of hobby burnout (or just general burnout) at the moment. I might do something a little different next time just because I like to keep up with things like this. I might do something geologic that I could tie to hobby time…maybe following on from a conversation of painting stone golems as different rock types…but who knows.
