Wasn’t planning on painting today, but there’s nothing as motivating as a clean and empty desktop. While I do want to try NMM, I’m not looking to use this model as my initial test case. Mixed a few demimetallics for his claws – thinking base at 4:1 Plate to RP, highlight at 2:1 Mithril + RP with points at 4:1. Then he gets his matte varnish and we reassess again. Yes Gretchen, the royal we goes with the royal purple.
Ended up taking the very tips to a pure Mithril. I may have gone a little strong on the purple, but overall, I’m not that fussed about it. A few touchups to his topmost branches, and catch that white spot on the beetle.
