Horus Lupercal - Part IV

No idea if this is really the 4th post of Horus, but I'm changing the heading titles to give numbering for each work in progress and so I need to use something.

You put your left leg in...
This isn't much of an update, mostly just proof of continued work on the model. The left leg is pretty much done now, although the knee pad remains to be done of course.

There's been no change to the colours normally used, this is simply extra work done. I'm not wholly convinced by how the metallics are looking in the photo. They do look different with more natural lighting, but it's not picking up the contrast as nicely as I'd like. I may have to go back in and try fix some of that; a little more shade here, a bit of highlighting there. I'll come back to it once more of the model is done, to make sure I don't unbalance things.

A fine brush, and a wet palette are making all the difference to the speed of painting too. It's much easier to switch back & forward between paints, and it really does speed up everything. Maybe it won't be months before the other leg is done.

-- silly painter.
