Here's Kyra, with the metals and base all finished.

Kyra: Scarf & Other Bits

Here she is. Almost done, I think. I've put shading and highlighting on the sash, belt, pants, and other such bits. The blue and green you see on the sword and other spots are an undercoat for metal - blue for silver, green for gold. Next time I'll finish the metals and then paint her base, and she'll be done.

Kyra: Robe, Sash, Scarf

Shaded and highlighted Kyra's rube, and put the base coat on her sash, scarf, pants, and shoes. She's coming along. I'm not super fond of that silver - looks too much like white. I may go over it with a darker silver and highlight up to that. I'm also starting to find the brown liner undercoat kind of irritating. I don't use black primer for a reason, and I'm finding many of these colors are taking many, many coats to cover the brown.

Kyra: Sleeves, Robe

Finished up her sleeves, including some simple freehand. Also put the base coat on her robe. She does look much better now with the blue on there.

Kyra: Chain, Silver Bits, Sleeves

Finished up the chain mail. Not sure I'm liking it, but the figure has definitely entered the ugly stage so I won't know for a while. I base coated some other silver bits and her sleeves and sash.. I think once I get the blue on her robe I'll get a better sense for how she's coming along.

Kyra: Chain Mail Continued

Continued work on Kyra's chain mail. I decided to go with true metallics, so I mixed some silver and a bright gold to get an intermediate tone. I put that over the beige and then hit the whole area with a sepia wash. Next time, I'll go back over it lightly with the silver/gold mix, and then hit a few select spots with plain silver. Right now, I'm thinking that is not going to give me the effect I was looking for, but time will tell.

Kyra: Face, Chainmail

So, I actually finished off her face a couple days ago, got pictures, and just never got them posted. Today I started work on her chain mail with a base coat. I'm going with the canon coloring for her. In that color scheme, her chain mail is somewhere between gold and silver. So I went with a pale yellow-ish base coat. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to do NMM or true metallics on this one. If I go with NMM, I'll shade it and then highlight with white. With TMM, I'd probably mix silver and pale gold to cover this base coat.

Kyra: Not Primer

Next Bones project. Kyra is a Pathfinder figure. I'm painting her up to table top quality to use as a marker with our Pathfinder: the Card game. I'm going to try the 'base coat with brown liner' technique with this figure, and that's as far as I got today. Also, the reason her nose is green is that it didn't cast quite right. There was a divet there. So, I gave her a new nose from Green Stuff.

Here's Mason, all done. Finishing the cloak and his quiver went very quick.

Mason: More highlights, cloak

I put some brighter highlights on the dark brown and base coated the cloak. I'm liking the colors on this guy.

Mason: Highlighted Tunic

Highlights on the tunic and other brown bits. I need to bring the highlights on the dark brown up a bit more.

Mason: Clothing

Got some time in on Mason today.Not a lot of great detail on this figure, so it's going to be a quick one. I'm making him ranger-y, so it's going to be all browns and greens.
