    Thanks mate! I'm super nervous about the next step, but I figured (hope) the only way to get better at painting is to: 1) paint, 2) learn some more from YouTube, 3) keep doing 1 and 2 until I eventually can turn out something I'm happy with.

    Got started last night. First coat of Iyanden Yellow took longer than I thought it would. Now hopefully tonight I can do the layers of orange, red and black.

    Finished the flames and did second coat of black in preparations for drybrushing the armour.

    Really happy with the result to be honest! I was expecting it to go horribly wrong due to my inexperience as a painter.

    For sure! Here it is. I found it super-helpful as a fledgling painter as it was definitely something that I thought was realistic for me to do.

    I didn't get it anywhere near as good as his, but I'm happy with it which genuinely surprised me.

    The fire looks very cool. Interested to see how they look finished.

    Keep up the great work.

    Grrr, Imrahil

    So dry-brushed the black iron sections to make it seem like they were heated. I tried doing yellow outline with the paint that I have on the axe, but it didn't come out.

    So this guy is done for now, bar the basing. Need to relook up that thread. @Imrahil which one was it that had the broken rocks with lava effect? and which technical paint was it?

    Nice work mate! It is looking very good.
    I think you are looking for Mordant Earth

    It was mentioned in my Painting thread, but I there are a lot of tutorials on YouTube for it.
    for the crackling the trick is: the thicker you apply it the harder/bigger it cracks.

    Grrr, Imrahil

    @Imrahil thanks for the suggestions. I looked over the various lava painting videos and decided on this one.
