Thanks hairster I’ve been enjoying messing about with colours and textures on this bad boy. Also adding detail which isn’t sculpted. I have been trying to get a contrast in warm and cool tones between the warm flesh and cool armour. Also the same thing between smooth flesh and rough oxidised metals. The axe is going to be interesting as it is saying to me godly weapon but if I go overboard it will detract from the rough aesthetic.
Did some more last night.

Cheers BAM very nice to hear that I must say your chaos warriors are a go to of mine as well.
I have been working on the rest of the armour and the clothes . I love messing about with the textures in this mini. There are very few sculpted into it but there are large areas that act as great canvases to painting on texture. Here we are.

Cheers Guys much appreciated! The leather once you get the technique right is surprisingly easy to do. I just start off with a rich dark brown and spread it on then just keep lightening the paint with off white and stipple it on with a crapy old brush just covering less and less areas until you get to that light beige colour which really does look like roughed scratched leather. Then back in with dark blue and red thinned down paint stippled into the recesses. It took about an hour to do that leather quick and dirty no finesse.

All done this mini has been one of my favourite to paint ever. I have pushed myself as much as possible with this one. Trying to emulate the effect that you can achieve with oils. Also my determination that I do as best as possible with the basing it should tell a story hence the northern lights through the archway a nod to the Bifrost.

The bananas were an odd choice for the base, but otherwise it’s a great piece! I love the textural variation throughout the figure and that great green/orange interplay on the armor is something special. Chest hairs are also a strong point. Base is also cool, I think you came up with a great solution to incorporating the Bifrost without letting it take over the whole scene. Excellent job, bud. Really fun to watch your progress all along.

Awesome work Andy, loving all the textures you put on this piece.
The cloth, skin, bone, metal, everything looks spot on.
Time to get up and go for a walk.

It seriously took me 5 minutes of staring at the photos to figure out what you were talking about
