Draconis does….. The Silver Bayonet
Werejackals
4th August 2025
Next up it was a couple of werejackals. Prepped and primed in my usual way.
I neglected to get pics for most of this, so I will summarise what I can.
For the more upright jackal I started out with a Wyldwood contrast, which I then drybrushed shoulders, elbows knees and tail with three shades of progressively lighter browns, making the drybrush area smaller for each lighter shade. I drybrushed the hands and snout with a couple of shades of flesh. Then I picked out the jewellery in gold.
I then worked on the second jackal. Started out with snakebite leather contrast all over. Then for the back, shoulders, top of tail, thighs and painted on thinned Gore grunta fur, then in a smaller area thinned Wyldwood, then finally thinned black in a smaller area again. Picked out the gold here as well.
For both I then washed and highlighted the gold. Used a brighter highlight on the crouching one, as the regular gold was blurring a bit against the lighter fur colour.
For the clothing I went with a dark blue, highlighting up, then finishing with a touch of turquoise. This was then given a thinned wash of nuln oil.
Picked the eyes out in ivory. I may add a red or yellow wash at some point perhaps, but not sure. And will probably give them a matt varnish spray.
