Horses first... then beasts
20 Aug 18: Lion Details
The eyes, the nose, the mouth.
Nose is:
- Army Painter Matt Black;
- a 1:1 mix of AP Matt Black and GW Bleached Bone
- GW Bleached Bone
The highlights are applied in small, thin, vertical lines.
Eyes:
- Vallejo German Camo Brown
- GW Mechrite Red (foundation paint)
- GW Blood Red
- rough mix of GW Blood Red and Bronzed Flesh
- Glaze Of GW Devlan Mud
Mouth:
- Base tongue in German Camo Brown
- GW Mechrite red
- GW Bronzed Flesh
- Mechrite Red again… see beliw
- Glaze of GW Devlan Mud
I had based the tongue, then gone over with the Mechrite Red. I tried bringing the tongue closer to a natural cat-tongue-pink with Bronzed Flesh. I applied it with small, thin strokes. But it looked wrong. Too pink. I went back over with the Mechrite Red. Though I left a little of the Bronzed Flesh showing through… it looked ok. I glazed over this with Devlan Mud and left it to dry. I’m happy with the result.
I did the base at this point too, though I won’t go into it here.
The White Lion!I still have a few details to add to the base. But almost done.
