So the celestial stampede box arrived and damn I'm enjoying myself :D so now it's painting time in-between daily chores, school and work.... Or was it the other way around?

Also I would like to say that I'm really liking the vibe and community on this forum! It's motivating and amazing ( specially during these covid times) how much content one can find here! I also see there is a thriving story-writing group which I will definitely try to take part in in the future! Also being a student of comics I'll definitely post some lizardmen inspired drawings and panels (if there is a specific thread for this please tell me :)).
So yeah in conclusion I'm really greaful to be a part of Lustria online!

Join in on the story-writing, though I am not the best of a writer it does encourage me to write more.

Drawings and artwork mostly end up in the Fluff and Story section, you could create your own thread of art.

Nice! Thanks for the info it may be a minute but eventually imma post somthing ;)
 
For warpaint and lizardmen I would keep shapes very simple and probably make it a bit blocky. Not fine lines. Can look up some mesoamerican art or war paint to get some inspiration. Big decision to make that I'm not sure of would be if you would color entire scales in a pattern for his scalier back part, or if you would paint lines on top of the scales. Probably either could look good, but I'd probably just do lines on top of the scales as painting the whole scales would look too natural for paint. Could also throw in some claw marks or hand prints in there if you want. There are a few videos on orruk warpaint and tzenchian tattoos on warhammer tv. Or just search for miniature warpaint and see what you think would look cool to you.

Second stegadon coming long nicely! Feeling some progress in my painting too :D

Really satisfied with the horns and skin, the combination of contrast paints and drybrushing makes a great skin :turtle:

This guy will be the main guy! The skink tribal chief who dreamt about unifying the other skink tribes and marching with a horde of stegadons to protect his lands against chaos! Will his dream succed? Or will he be beaten by one of the other skink chiefs fighting for power between themselves? Or will their slann return to show them the way?
Well we shall see!:bookworm:
