Started working on the armor. I don't particulalry like the result so far... Will try to enhance with brown ink and black filters.

Hi JH

That’s a good start on the armour , with what you’ve planned it’s going to be a good result

Have fun @ the bench

Looks good for a start, that's the problem with metallics they don't look right till you've added all the shades and tints and I doubt that'll be a problem.

May I suggest a bit of Paynes Grey, to give it a more bluish tone of iron. It does look a trifle stark at present but that may be exacerbated by the camera. Looking good though.

WIP update - started to work on the coat and fur

 

[JH Figures]

WIP update 2 - I thought I can call the fur done, but just realized I have to paint a lot more spots towards the middle area...

 

[Briggsy]

Nice work, I like how you texture the fur when you paint it, really works a treat.

Cheers Simon

Armors are always hard to render (in my opinion) when they are painted entirely with metallic shades. NMM is also a really hard technique to achieve. I wonder if you should not mix the two, and once the metallic shades are applied, apply non-metallic colors on top....

That is a good way ahead and something I try to do, though I haven't done anything as extensive as this fellas armour. It would be good to carry this idea further though.
