More Work on the Swan
Lots of progress and changes. I hit the yellow feathers with a bunch of coats of Golden Yellow using a fine brush - it came out far better than my last attempts so I'm pleased with the results. The pics don't show it very well, but there's a nice contrast to the Vermin Brown and it doesn't look dirty. I'm hoping I can repeat this performance with the red and I've given them a light Badab Black wash to start.
The chestplate and seat got a first coat of Shining Gold and then a wash with Devlan Mud. I decided that the Captain's blue armor looked a little too matchy-matchy so I repainted it to Boltgun metal. I'll highlight it up to Mithril to make it look all fancy. I like the contrast better and it adds more color to the model. It also makes deciding on the sleeves a lot easier. I painted the slashed up to Golden Yellow and gave the rest a basecoat of Regal Blue.
I revisited the feathers on the Swan. I think I went too heavy on the bone/white before and they lacked a bit of depth. I hit the shaded parts again with a very light Devlan Mud and think it turned out good. More of a contrast, especially on the under-wing.
He's trucking along!
