Horus Lupercal - Part VI

Eye eye eye, not entirely armless.

This is only a short update with some details filled in for Horus. Almost all the eye icons have been completed, with the exception of the right pauldron (which I haven't entirely decided to paint the same yet).

All the eyes were painted the same as before, copy & pasted here for convenience:

• Jokaero Orange (base)
• Yriel Yellow (layer)
• Bloodletter (glaze)
• Carroburg Crimson (shade)
• Corvus Black (base, iris)
• 'Ardcoat (technical, varnish)

It's really the Bloodletter that makes it work and gives the Eye of Horus symbol that firey, forbidding appearance.

The right knee symbol of the Luna Wolves was mostly done with contrast paints:

• Corax White as a base coat across the entire symbol.
• Apothecary White on the sliver of background moon.
• Basilicum Grey on the remaining background.
• Black Templar across the wolf head.
• Mephiston Red for the eyes of the wolf.
• Stormhost Silver to write the XVI on the wolf's forehead.

The last step was a pain, required quite a lot of fixing, and looking at it closely isn't perfect. Normally I would have done the wolf head silver and let a wash fill in the XVI naturally, but that doesn't work when I wanted the wolf head itself as black.

Damn this model is taking me a long time.
