Some more figures for Descent which I pained with AP Speedpaints 2.0 over a white undercoat. First, three Carrion Drakes. These are plague-spreading scavengers of dead flesh. I liked the wing colour (Desolate Brown) which is a nice brown with a hint of green. The green (Charming Chartreuse) and the purple (Dusk Red) are fine, but they go together like an 80s cartoon toy- which isn't the look I want here. Anyway, they're done and the pustules help pull them together.

I used Forest Sprite for the Goblin Witchers' skin, and I'm really happy with it. The last thing I painted was the feathers, and it really made these figures pop.

I may try and squeeze in a sneaky post before the Challenge concludes, but this should pull me over the line!

From Millsy: These are really cool Barks! The lime green and rich red on the drakes is an unexpected but really effective combination. Having painted a pile of Death Gaurd I know how much effort can be involved in making something so wrong look right. Love the witchers too, I can see a ton of other uses for them in pulp, darkest (weird) Africa, etc. Cracking work mate!
Very icky work here Barks! As you say, the pustules pull it together nicely!
ReplyDeleteIt's the suppuration that does it.
DeleteVery effective color combinations.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tom!
DeleteBrilliant barks they are real cool minis painted to your normal standard, just brilliant
ReplyDeleteCheers, Galpy!
DeleteThese look great, those carrion drakes are pretty disgusting, so are absolutely spot on!
ReplyDeleteI'm warming to them!
Deletenice one!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteNice! I actually think the colours work very well, good job!
ReplyDeleteThe original art shows a bright red, which was too strong.
Delete"The pustules pull it together nicely" - things I read in the Painting Challenge :)
ReplyDeleteGreat work Barks.
Happy to help, Greg!
DeleteYeah, it's all about the pustules, baby. Great job on these nasties Barks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Curt!
DeleteLovely and disgusting. The goblins look like they’ve got a song and dance routine under way.
ReplyDeleteNow you mention it...
DeleteSuperb Drakes Barks
ReplyDeleteThey look so much better with paint on! The bases are too small for the figure.
DeleteVery nice work, I agree with Emjenic. The colors at least in the phot work very well together. I have yet to try the AP speedpaints but seeing these, I may have to give them a shot.
ReplyDeleteThey're great where there is a lot of texture on the sculpt.
