Skink Priest
Another piece from last year. I left my figure case on the train when returning from the German Games Day with the Forge World Chaos Dwarf I was planning to do for the UK Games Day (Thanks to Chris for collecting my case from lost property in London). As a result I bought this piece to do instead as a lot of people were painting it at the time and it seemed a nice sculpt where you could have a lot of fun with colours. I think it is also the first piece where I gave the metallics a glaze of watered down gloss varnish to add some depth back into the shadows. Using dark non metallic paints to shade is effective, but sometimes it can leave the shadows looking a bit flat and dry. A touch of gloss seems to counter that ... It also has the advantage of having very very big eyes :) Thanks for looking Conrad
