The heraldry on the shield is excellent.

Really well painted heraldry, are you adding detail to the beast or is it just going to be the shape? Either way is good.

Cheers Simon

Thanks Nap,
I will use different shades on the heraldry but since it is a relatively small and flat surface I am not planning to go crazy on it. Leaving the are with a grey base coat would have been a better idea, I will surely consider it for the next subject like this.

It is definetly not done yet. Two more coats as I mentioned with different shades, getting lighter towards the top similar to the shield. Have to add the eyes, and some linework with black. Here is what I am going for in general:

That's going to look awesome.

... As we all know painting yellow on black is never a good idea, it is way more chalkier than I planned, hopefully some fixes and weathering will make it less obvious. There are two more coats on the yellow to be applied then comes the tear and wear.

I think it looks fine. The "chalky" look may actually make it look more realistic for the time. I doubt the shields weren't professionally painted.
