Blog Suds Painting & Kitbashes of 2020

I am considering the Stegadon Crest over her chest actually! May use the Carnosaur Reins I have to connect it around the neck to the howdah/neck armor

 

Here is my current progress on my Sunblood proxy! Very happy with the progress even though some of the original markings have been lost a bit. Headdress is looking super good, love the feathers, though may work on the yellow. Still need to finish it and add the shield to him.

"The Blood Moon Sunblood is a time tested warrior of the Moon. A blessed spawning, this saurus represents both the Full Moon with its midnight blue underbelly and Blood Moon colored scales. While the full Moon is when this Cohort of Moon Worshipers is at full magical prowess, it is with the Blood Moon that their War Prowess is unmatched by even the War Gods; and so The Blood Moon Sunblood represents both"

Would love your C&C!

 

Well done!

You are neat with the brush.

 

Thanks man! Still learning for sure, working on freehand a bit

 

Current progress on my Sunblood:

Got the Redwood color for the banner poles down with enough of a red hint, originally just Khorne Red mixed with Mournfang Brown I ended up adding a splash of Reikland Flesh to the mix and it really helped I think.

I also decided to do two freehand designs on the banners, one represents a blood Moon eclipsing a full moon and the other has their Serpent Goddess coming out from behind a Blood Moon.

First real attempt at freehand and I think its OK but could be better. Need to thin the paints a bit more and more controlled strokes I think.

Any insight into freehand would be amazing or any general C&C is encouraged! Thanks

 

Update on my Sunblood proxy

Have done most of the banners and have done the weapons, though they need to be cleaned up and have a wash put on them.

Really pleased with it and its direction, going for the old world Aztec feel.

C&C welcome!

 

Taking a small break from other projects to start this gorgeous model! Although not the original color scheme I had planned I am very pleased with the Green and Orange base colors. I need to go back over the orange but feeling good so far

Base colors: Caliban Green and Jakaero Orange

Other colors planned:

Top: Moot Green, Sotek Green and Biel-Tan Green

Bottom: Fire Dragon Bright, Kindlerflame and Cassandora Yellow/Fuegan Orange

Wings/feathers: Undecided but looking at combining Reds, Purples, Blues and Pinks to make them vibrant

Stay Tuned for more updates in the future and let me know what you think about my color choices!

 

That's really nice. When I was painting my Saurus green, I then found out later that the complimentry colour for green was either yellow or orange.

But I didn't want to take risk.

I really like this, because the colours work well together and its not over whelming in anyway. A lot of the time, people go for too many base colours and it becomes confusing to the eye.

 

Lots more color to be add, but the green and orange sections will just be different shades of green for the designs, etc same with the orange. The wings will be a multiple color scheme but all complimentary to Green and Orange

Thanks for the kind words

 

Update on the Coatl/Moon Serpent:

I'm taking a break from from the body work to start on the wings, which I'm really happy with! Mostly, lol. Trying to make them brighter and more vibrant, worked in some shading in the feathers crevasses and need to go back to do highlighting and dry brushing.

C&C welcomed and Encouraged!

 

Calling this wing finished before I muck it up lol Will take lessons learned and use them to improve the next wing. This being my first wing ever, I think I did ok!

Might do some minor detailing on the Screamer Pink area

 

My finished Sunblood/Oldblood Proxy Very happy with how he turned out, will likely find things to tighten up over the coming days

C&C welcome!

 

I like what I see!

Love the colors of his Skin and scales
Nice free hands on the banners

I think the metal bits and weapons might bennefit from an extra highlight.

Also I am wondering what that thing is that He stands on?

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Pretty sure it's a rock with a skull next to it/connected to it that he stands on, I was a bit confused myself at first lol

And thanks! I love the color on him, blood moon inspired

 

Finally working on my Side Platforms for my Thunder Lizard Going a slightly different direction but keep the original theme

This time around I am going to make the central skull/circle into a sun of sorts with wide beams of light coming out from it. Where there are thin lines of yellow in the central one, the wider open portions that empty where the saurus head icons are will be the beams of light...if that makes sense.

Stay tuned for updates when its further along!

 

Update

The more I paint this the more I love it, it's like the platform is telling the story of a past battle. The central face being a Slann and the rays coming out from it his summon powers as he summons more warriors to battle (the saurus face icon). Its a tribute to my tribes ancestors before they created a home in the mortal realms themselves, when they were once Starborne.

Let me know what you think!

 

My Temple Host, Apart of Koatls Claw

Nice army

Lot of proxies as well.
Keep up the good work!

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Just an update on the Stegosaurian From the beginning to the most current progress, almost finished!

 

So fulfilling to finally see skinks on her, even if still grey. Proud moment.

Still WIP but wanted to share
