Draconis: Spring Clean 2025 and Onward
C23 Ogre Berserker
10th April 2025
This fine chap had the same start out as the Pit Fighter Ogre, in terms of prime and skin work.
I decided to paint his loin cloth in a halved red/blue, reminiscent of the colours for Altdorf. Part way through I also decided that I would paint green stripes on the trousers.
The colour wasn’t popping enough, so I thought I would highlight up an extra stage.
I am trying to highlight things more than I usually do, to make them stand out more – I tend to be a touch conservative on the highlighting, but some of my recent Silver Bayonet work has given me the push to take them higher.
So the red and blue both had four colour stages, and the green stripes had three colour stages.
For the boots I went for a black and white pattern to represent Frisian cow hide. I think this came out pretty well. However, it did give me a little issue with the toe claws that are poking out of the fabric. I tried both black and white, but neither worked due to the boot colours. In the end I went with a yellow brown at the base, highlighting up to ivory. That colour separation at the boot helped, but I’m still not sure on it.
The hair was painted with a wash of gryph hound orange, followed by a thinned agrax. Picked out various other details, (spent a good amount of time on the horn) and he was finished.
Pleased with how the horn came out
