Skink Priest WIP

The bling is strong with this one.

Not yet finished, but not much left until the skink priest is complete. I'm going to try for a blue glow effect on the outstretched hand, as if the skink is conjuring some magic. The eyes are also blue, to match and give a magic feel about the model. Either that, or it's possessed by a Goa'uld.

I'm quite happy with how this model is turning out. It's mostly been an exploration of contrasting colours; green gems and tips of the feathers/leaves (whichever) contrasting against the red flesh, with hints of blue just for balance. Gold because Lizardmen.

Subtlety makes this character. The white dots of the gems (my first square shaped ones), the gold highlights, it's just been fun to paint. I'm also pleased with the snout - the lighter tone there was to give an impression of age originally, but it also draws attention to the face.

At any rate, another afternoon or two and the main model is done, and the base will hopefully follow soon after.

-- silly painter.
