After a little searching I found this

So I figured I would start with the shield. . . I plan to have the serpent black on a cold blue shield.

I figured I would have it chipped and scratched so I layed down some wood tones

Then drew some grain on and a few slashes, then darkened up the sculpted details.
All this will be mostly covered with the Blue but I figured it would be easier to paint wood now than in the cracks after . . .and now I can choose the best parts to leave.

Happy painting

Nice work on the wood grain, shame it’s going to be covered over with the blue... that freehand design will look awesome on that shield.

 

[BloodASmedium]

‘Tis e very niceie niiiice!!!( borat )

 

[metalasmedium]

Nice work on the sheild mate, waiting for that freehand.

 

[Digganob]

The shield is great no doubt about it, but your vice grips to hold it stole the show for me. Pure modern day ingenuity at its best right there

 

[BDerricks]

I'm looking forward to seeing the freehand! The base wood looks great- it's always kind of scary painting on top of it

 

[Sword&Sorcery]

Great wood effect. Looking forward to seeing the serpent on top of it.

 

[EpicMiniArt]

Loving that shield mate, beautiful wood effect

 

[Canny]

Thanks Gent! Tomorrow I will do the blue and the serpent, I'm out surviving a Dungeon tonight! I even got to level 2 last week with my dwarf warrior ( my 1st ever DnD character)

Thank you all for checking in, about 12 days to go until I get the High resolution prints back for the gothic style base toppers too.

Happy painting

 

[Sicks]

That shield is looking fantastic mate. I fear the chaplain is edging towards dark silver more than black though

 

[BloodASmedium]

Nicely done on that reflective/ shiny armor. You’ve sold the two properties of a metallic substances . And the shiled color is perfect.

 

[metalasmedium]

Nice work on that shield and good start on the armor!

 

[Coyotebreaks]

the shield is looking great, really good weathering. light placement is good on the armour

 

[Maenas]

Love those colours on the shield, both sides of it!

 

[Canny]

Im pleased you like them, Yeah its almost too shiny But I like it like that and thats as far as I will go for the Chaplain. The shield has had some more progress and Im unsure if it needs some blues washed over the top or something to make it a bit more together. maybe some like weathering streaks or something your ideas are needed!

After looking around at other shields, it needs another layer of BAM grime and Maybe a touch of blood. . .
