Yup, did another round of shadow. Not sure if I'll do highlights next or smoothing.

Duelist: More Shading
Second round of shading on the duelist. Needs a lot of cleanup. I'm also debating if I want another layer of shadow or not. Probably.

Duelist: Skin shading. Hroka: Skin base.
I've gotten back to the duelist. I started the first round of shadows on his skin. It's not done but I got pretty far; still have to do his back, neck, and head..
And this is the next Arena Rex figure I'm going to do. This is Hroka. She's primed and has a base coat of skin. She carries a shield on her other arm, which is not attached yet.

1!
Finished Aquila today. I put him in the 'he's OK' category. Could be better, could be worse. But, he does finish off a group of 5 for one of my Arena Rex factions.

Aquila: Metals
I did shading and highlights on Aquila's metal today. I didn't do it well. I was impatient and not really feeling it, so I wasn't as careful as I should have been. When I realized I was having a problem, I decided I didn't feel strongly enough about it to try to fix it. So, the shading is pretty chunky and the highlights aren't great. It didn't help that the bight gold I used did the thing where it went on fine, but then dried weird, much less bright and shiny. I'm not sure why that keeps happening with these paints.
Anyway, I might go back and fix parts of it, but probably not much. A lot of it isn't that visible, particularly considering that this guy is a gaming figure. We'll see.
I also started on the base.

Aquila: Bronze Base
I got the base coat on all the bronze today. I need to shade and highlight the metals, and then it'll be the base. Should be able to finish him this week.

Aquila: Leather, Cloak done
Finished up highlights on the leather and fur cloak. Also got a base coat on the blade of his sword.
