Raiding the Dusty Wastes
To a Naked New Year (a pledge?)
The feeling of being overwhelmed by inactivity weighed heavy on me and the general ennui was something I needed to kick. I started working on the roc again and found it wasn’t as bad as I imagined it would be. It turned out more tedious as I worked a pattern for the plumage. I’ve gone back to the pushing of contrasts to see the 28mm detail level but for so light a color scheme I am limited on the palette. It only gets more challenging because the hues are all neutrals.
Taking a break from the big bird and his one tree hill I dove into painting a female efreet from Reaper’s Bones line (approximately 60mm tall) as a counterpoint to the female frost giant I painted for my friend’s SAGA army I did a while back. Its near the same size and will be a monster I can field readily sometime when we play an upcoming game and not overwhelm my friend’s force for model size. When will this game happen; I have no idea. A small 4 point match of the base game might be best to start before getting deep into the thick of it.
Painted stuff next post
Basic modelAs far as the model painting, I’m almost done with her and I believe that the progress is coming along nicely in short order. Yet again, fabric design is once more the bane of my painting efforts. I’ll be sure to paint naked things next year just to avoid the issue of patterns. The skin tones for this figure came out better than I anticipated.
