Fire Wings w/ mounted Beelphegor Part 14

Base continued...

Last time we saw the base the icicles and the bones were base coated and in need of some paint.

The photo below shows the base in its almost finished state. I used some FW Prussian Blue and White inks on the icicles in combination with Citadel Baal Red and Leviathan purple. Essentially I did some wet blending of all of the inks and washes with all of the colors thinned down. It was a back and forth process until I was happy with how they looked. The bones then received a couple of passes of Citadel Agrax Earthshade to adds some depth and weathering to the bones.

The base is not 100% complete, but it is done for now. I will be adding the water effects and snow at the end once the dragon has been painted and mounted on the base.

Fire Wings w/ mounted Beelphegor Part 13

Base continued...

Last time we posted the start of the painting of the base for this project which detailed the priming, washing and drybrushing of what is ultimately the undercoat for the rest of the painting.

The photo below shows couple passes with a couple of Garage Kits US transparent paints sprayed through my airbrush. I used Giger Aqua, Bruise Purple and Smoke. The primary highlight color is the Giger Aqua with the Bruise Purple being the primary shadow color. I sprayed a couple passes to build up the transparents to achieve the look that I was going for. After getting a good foundation of the colors I did another more targeted drybrush highlight with P3 Morrow White in certain area to provide more interest. All of these highlights were then sprayed over with the transparents again to blend then into the existing paint scheme. The last thing that I did was use some Smoke in some of the deeper recesses to reinforce the shadows more.

Once I was done with any airbrush work, I base coated the icicles with P3 Morrow White and the bones with Vallejo Game Color Bone White.
