My First Sculpt Pt 3: An Obliterator – Base Coat Done

Spent some time painting the Obliterator. After priming it black, it is amazing how all the details (and mistakes) pop out.

I then did the base coat of all the colors to block it out. Mechrite Red for the robes, Mithril Silver to the steel, Dwarven Bronze for the piping, and Ice Blue for the metallic flesh. The whole model was then washed with Devlan Mud.  The blue ended up looking nasty, dirty bubble gum, but thats ok since I will be repainting it anyway.WIP Obliterator Sculpt 8 - Base Coat

Which I did next. I wanted to try a blue, lava-like texture that blends into the metal. Not sure of the result, it looks too shiny. Any ideas for fixing it?

Next up is the red robe, which will the much more difficult piece to paint as I am hoping to do some freehand trim.

    Excellent project I like how it has come out so far. Though I kind of like the intermediate metal finish in the second photo the best. The tarnished metal versus the shiny for Obliterators seems fitting. But bright can work too, I can’t wait to see it finished!

      Thanks Cyborg Trucker. I was struggling to get the colors to work out what I had in mind. Your comment did remind me that I really haven’t painted in a while, almost 3 months! crazy how time flies. CT, you may have just proverbially kicked me in the pants to get this guy done!
