I figured I’d try and remember what I did and track down the photos for it to give the new projects system a whirl. The miniature was largely done by brush but I started with a primer and layers of grey and then white placed by airbrush.

Next I used very thin layers of paint to block in the base colours, I used a bit of water and vallejo’s glaze medium (I believe it was close to 50/50 for paint/water&medium). This lets the highlighting from the airbrush affect the colour going on top which not only looks decent but helps in figuring out where to put in additional work on highlights and shadows.

With the base colours in I put a few thin washes of army painter soft tone over the fur to pull out the texture and then I proceeded to highlight and shadow the figure. I tended to start with a mixture of my base colour and the high/shade colour and work my way down or up still using very thin layers. I covered less area with each layer as well to try and get some blending in place.

Finally I started going after the blade starting with dark grey slowly blending in green. The idea being that I would get a pretty bright poisonous green going.
