My first foray into commission ASOIAF miniatures, although not the first finished task (curse you Still Water).
Original state
Painting
I started with fixing the basecoats. All over the body, it looks like the silver was either painted very conservatively, or painted first and everything else splodged over. I fixed the silver basecoat.
Next, apply some painting tips to start the glow up:
- medium skintone (I repainted the skin as the original coat was too pale and transparent)
- Wyldwood, Gore Grunta Fur and Black Templar mustaches
- Light leather
- Medium leather
- Dark leather
- Dark wood
- metallic
Next, some fine highlights on the blue skirts (Heavy Blue) and on the blue/grey scales (Cold Grey).
Then do the shields and banner. I initially wanted to leave that superb blue gradient alone, but there was a lot of silver splodged over, so I corrected that and also did highlights using Magic Blue. I repainted all the white areas.
Basing
They're from the Riverlands so prepare some puddles.
Woodland base with Heavy Charcoal rims and markers.
Finish off the base with water effects in the puddles. Mix in some plants for added detail.
