2024 Painting Log
Everything is better with pirates
Soldiers, samurai, gunslingers, pirates… Star Wars really does have it all. I love the variety of different types of characters in the various Star Wars media, and Hondo Ohnaka is one of my favorites. Whenever he shows up you know you’re going to get that perfect blend of humor and danger that is Star Wars at its best.
These are a lot more colorful than the majority of Shatterpoint characters I’ve done so far, and they were quite a bit of fun to paint. Rather than starting with a single color I went for a more traditional method of blocking out the base colors and then adding shade and highlights with a combination of washes and brush work. The fellow in blue gave me the most trouble — I did his shoulder pads in a silver that ended up being pretty overwhelming, and then spent a lot of time trying different ways to dull it down. The other three went well though, especially Hondo himself who was an absolute treat.
