Bian the Red (5)

Hi all,

wow the last week was very hot over here in Germany. We had between 30° and 40°Celsius (86°-104° Fahrenheit) for the last two weeks.

It was so hot, the paint dried before it reached the miniature ;-)

Actually I didn't really feel like painting at all, but since I have a contest deadline of July 10th I have to get moving.

Since the last update I applied all the base colors.

And then started to deepen the colors - mostly via several layers of washes.

 

And then started to work out the deeper shadows and highlights.

@Malevengion - I guess this is looking kind of metallic, isn't it?

 

I have to admit I'm glad I took the light reference photos - it makes highlighting so much easier!

 

Last night I worked on finalizing most of the gold, gems and scales.

 

 

 

Now it is mainly re-painting the skin and work out the shadows and highlights.

 

I hope you like the progress so far :)
I look forward to your comments and feedback.

Cheers

Klaus
