Another jump in difficulty, now with 19 tiny pieces to assemble. If with Deathmaster I still could do without putty, Krittok made me order a bottle, as those pieces of cloak weren’t fitting as well as I wanted them to. Later I noticed that it happens even on the official art.
Putty did wonders, though, filling even the nastiest cracks. And after two layers of base paint and some work with dry brush, I think you really need to know what to look for.
In terms of actual painting, I missed the mark a little.
For the eyes, I should have thinned the Baal Red more. I did better job in the past.
I also tried to do with less shading. Still some Nuln Oil on the skin, I don’t see a way around that yet, and on metallics. But all contrast painted areas are left mostly unshaded for brighter colours.
