    Santa came though :D

    Got myself a bat box, steg, kroh gar and some TG's.

    I started working on the steg yesterday. I went with strewart's suggestion on color scheme (Thanks ;) ). Primed it black, worked the two first skin layers and now im working on the scales.

    This is how i looks so far:

    BRILLIANT!

    Will you make normal "bone" color on the horns and spikes?

    Yeah, I'll go for some bleach bone stribes on brown. Just like the horns on your avatar pic. I'll work on it as soon as my hangover lets me ;)

    Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards. Update: STEG- Skin highlights

    With the beast done i started with the platform. Here I turn to you guys! I'v painted some of the stuff on the base and kept the rest golden. The orange toad represents the slann (dah....), the blue are the flames in my army and the snake and lizard represent the greens of the humanoid troops.

    My question to you guys: Should i paint more of the stuff on the base, or just keep it simple? ;)

    I think that's personal taste. I like yours, very striking.

    Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards. Update: STEG- platform

    I appreciate all the replies ;)

    I stuck with the simple platform. Im working the sides of the platform.

    Finished the left side, took me all bloody night.... What you guys think? Im worried that there isnt enough contrast between the steg and platform?

    Looks like this:

    IMAG0297-1.jpg


    Let me know if im spamming useless minor updates, but im finding it very interesting to spare with you guys alonge the way to gain the best possible result ;)

    Re: bgm200's Lizards. Update: STEG - Platform Sides

    Looks good! And the more updates the better imo. I might've tried to work some dark green in there somewhere (maybe on the shield scales, or the platform's cloth 'railings') for a bit of extra contrast. I really the lighting/wear effect on the cloth railings, though. What colours did you brush on?

    Re: bgm200's Lizards. Update: STEG - Platform Sides

    Yeah, that might just work. Ill try to paint the shields green. The cloth railings is based with catachan green, and highlighted with different mixes of catachan green and skull white ;)
