Lucifer: Sword

 The gold on the sword is done. Next time I need to finish the black and the red gem. Then I'll move on to cleaning up the spots on the skirt where I've slopped other colors, and then shading and highlighting on it.

Lucifer: Rope, Gems

 Finished the rope by his belt, and the gems. Not thrilled with the gems, but the rope is OK.

Lucifer: Belts, Straps, Etc.

I did Lucifer's belt and armor straps, then got a base coat on the belt buckle and that rope thing. I'll need to finish the gold bits, then decide what to do with the sword. I will finish the skirt last. I'm starting to notice some rub off, which is not surprising, but tells me it definitely needs to be finished last.

Lucifer: Armor HIghlights

Back to Lucifer tonight. I put highlights on the upper armor. Also base coated the jewels. Next will be jewels, belt, straps, and buckles. I think I need to fix the lighting for him. It's aimed low, for 32mm figures, which he is not. But that's why his midsection is lit and the shoulders are not. Also means that the armor highlights don't really show up at all.

 

Arena: Wall Details

 I decided to take a break from Lucifer tonight, and I worked on some arena wall sections. I put a second coat of gray on these sections, and then did the under coat and base coat on the metal bits. 

I think I have a plan for how I'm going to get this guy painted and put together. I'm going to get the base coat done on all sections, shade and highlight the banners and bronze medallions that should not be washed in the same colors I'm going to use for the stone. 

The next part I'm debating about. The sections would need to be gap filled after they are glued together, so from that standpoint I should put it together, gap fill, re-base coat the joint, then wash. On the other hand, having everything put together will make some pretty hard to get areas for washing, so...maybe wash and finish the sections, put them together, then deal with the gaps and re-paint as needed.

For now I'm going to focus on getting everything base coated. The rest of the decisions can wait until that is done.

Lucifer: Gold Highlights/Shading

Finished basing the gold on Lucifer's upper body armor, shaded it, and highlighted it. I like parts of it, other parts not so much. Next will be highlights on the black armor parts.

Lucifer: Armor Base

Today I got a base coat on the armor on Lucifer's upper body. The gold needs more layers to be a good base coat. Still, decent progress. He looks much different now with the top colored in.
