I got a last round of highlights on his skin. I need to clean up a few areas, but mostly I'm happy with the results. I also did the details on his face, which for this guy is really just the eyes. Then I base coated his hair, and then his pants with the blue I'd mixed for his eyes.
Next I'll finish the hair. Then, I'm not sure. Maybe finish the pants, maybe do some of the leather straps and wraps, maybe decide what to do with the tattoos.
Yup, did another round of shadow. Not sure if I'll do highlights next or smoothing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
