I finished Hippolyta's cloak today, and got enough of the arm base coated and shaded so that I could glue it in place.
Next will be finishing the sword arm, then the base, then done!

Hippolyta: Cloak
This figure really doesn't photograph well. I think it's the ones with the fine, tiny detail that tend not to take to pictures well.
Anyway, I didn't have a lot of time tonight, but I got some work in on the cloak. I did the stole, and a layer of shadow on the main part.

Hippolyta: Armor, hair, cloak
I didn't get as far as I'd hoped; I wanted to glue her arm in today. I supposed I could have gotten there if I'd done the cloak, or at least that part of the cloak, instead of her hair.
Either way, I'm hoping to get her finished or mostly finished tomorrow.

Hippoltya: Skin, face, base coating
I dry-fit Hippolyta's sword, and decided it was sticking out from the figure too far for it to be safe to glue in place before the rest was done. Too much risk of breaking it off or bending the sword or something while working on the figure. So, I am going to finish the rest of her, then deal with her other arm.
So today I finished the skin and face, and base coated a bunch of the rest of it. Her face...the features are tiny, and somewhat indistinct. I may do more with it, or I may not. It looks OK from a gaming table distance, which might be good enough. I didn't notice how uneven her eyes are until I saw the pictures; I may have to take another look at that. It might be the figure and not me, as I'm pretty sure I didn't miss the eye sockets.

Hippolyta: Shading, Center Piece
I did enough shading on Hippolyta's legs and the inside of her cloak to be able to glue the center piece in today.
Next will be doing a bit of putty work on the join - there are gaps to be filled.

Hippolyta: More Base Coat. Goremaw: Maw
More base coating on Hippolyta. Not shown is the skirt piece. Next for her will be shading the inside of the cloak and her legs and boots.I'm going by the movie coloring for her since that's what the sculpt is clearly based on, and it's...very monochrome, all browns and golds. Have to see how that goes, it's not something I do typically.
I also spent some time on Goremaw, specifically his...well, maw.
I cleaned up the inside of the mouth so that everything was the color I wanted. Then I added shading and highlighting, painted the 'teeth' black, and then gave the whole thing a couple coats of gloss sealer so it looks wet and slobbery. When everything is done, if I remember I'm going to try a trick I've seen using glue to add strings of slobber. I'm afraid it'd be too fragile if I put that in now.
I'm debating going back to the airbrush with him. I'm finding lots of spots where the coverage is not as good as I'd hoped, I think it might help with cleaning up the orange, and I'm also thinking of using a darker purple in the shadows between plate ridges.

2!
Finished up the knight today.
I also worked some more on Hippolyta. Most of what I did was pinning preparation for her arm and skirt thingy, but I also got a base coat in on her cloak.
