Stage 6
Touchups and Fine tunning
Ok here is where im a little indecisive. I realized that the big circle on the back is a gem so I tried to make it appear unsettled looking, i decided that the vent like ribbing on her skin needed to stand out more so I did a really watery wash of 50% Litch purple 50% Warlock purple, over some of it and in the creases. I did all the touchups I could see although I am still finding some here and there. I did some tattoos on her shoulderpads In Space wolf grey. She still needs the varnish coat and grass on her base and her name, but i was going to do that all as the final 7th step. At this point I'm trying to decide if she is finished ready for the final touches of stage 7 or if she needs something more. I'm kinda thinking more tatoos and some designs on her armour like some coming up her legs from the hooves, but I can't decide what colour(s) for the armour, should i give her head tattoos or whether she needs eyelashes or not? look at the pictures below and leave a comment tell me what you think. As a bonus all the pictures i took turned out really well so im going to post them all.

It's just so badass that I can't stand it! What an amazing conversion and to top it off, what a great paintjob. It must be the talk of the FLGS!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ricalope did out do himself on the conversion job. Im glad he decided to let me paint it myself though she has been a lot of fun so far. There will be one more post on her as im working on finishing touches now. still trying to decide if she needs eyelashes or not...
