Of course, gentle reader, he would start into some non-metallic nonsense before he even has the base colours down. The boy’s a fool.
The order in which I choose to apply paint is both baffling and entirely self-inflicted.
Never painted an elf before, space or otherwise, despite falling in love with Jes Goodwin’s art back in the day. But this little sculpt is gorgeous.
I’m determined that 2025 is the year I actually finish painting a thing. Anything. Just one will do. I’m nominating this lil guy. Still a long way to go, but I’ve stopped myself giving up in disgust and re-priming him three separate times now, so that’s progress!
Annoyingly, the thing I like most in this WIP shot is the texture palette 😅
Just the zenithal prime in place here before I intended to start a base coat of contrast red, but this looks so good I’m tempted to go for an old-school pre-‘bone shaded’ Deathwing experiment.
