I really like the effect you achieved with the tanned side of the wolf pelt. Just about perfect.

Thanks for lookin' Ian and Steve.

The wolf's pelt is finished now!

I used Vallejo Tan Yellow for the basecoat, and highlighted with a mix of Yellow Ochre and Yellow Naples Hue, for the third and final highlight coat, a small amount of titanium White was added. The shade coats consisted of a mix of Burnt Umber and Lamp Black, with a final coat of Lamp Black on its own, to deepen the colour in the recesses.

 

You got me hooked, Fangers [sic]. I'll follow this with wonder.

Woah! that is a great pose. and even though all you have done is a tiny bit of leather peeking out from underneath the Chain mai, youve already turned it into a beauty. I dont get it how you belnd all those washes and highlights and everything to make it looks just perfect on your figures. Great work!

The wolf's pelt is half finished, although I may post shade the insides of the folds a little more, with some oil colour!

 

Thanks man!

This is where I am with this at the moment. The whole figure was undercoated in automotive matt black paint. I'm not sure about other people, but I always undercoat my figures in black. I'll use a dark grey if a figure is to be painted in predominantly light colours.

The cloth padded armour under the chainmail had a thin coat of Vallejo Middlestone. It was then shaded with a mix of Burnt Umber/ Lamp Black and then highlighted with Yellow Naples Hue straight from the tube. An additional highlight was then added with a mix of Yellow Naples Hue and Titanium White.

Jus' let me know if i'm borin' ya' with my colour mixes. Hahaha

 

Thiis is a great pose. I'll be looking forward to you progress.
