| An excellent jump, or very, very stiff scrolls. |
Before I get started on this post proper, a couple notes regarding the coming weeks and likely months. I've encountered some difficulty in time scheduling of sorts, and will have much less time to paint. This is undesirable, but I do want to continue and find a way to keep up the pace. I'm rather committed to writing something every week as motivation, but normally I would have finished this entire model by now. Only very little has been done.
Not to worry though. I see this as simply another opportunity to improve my painting skills. Traditionally I would spend a long time painting by being very careful with each stroke of the brush, or contemplating the next colour to use, how it would all match together. This means I can paint a standard Blood Angel in a few days - the contemplation is done, the method is known. Next I need to work on finding a way to actually put paint to model quicker: cut down on any time spent just staring at the work and instead just "do". This should allow me to be far more efficient in using the painting time I will have, and keep up the painting pace.
Anyway. A little progress. I've decided to glue the backpack on. Painting was rubbing off when trying to handle the main body, and just enough was painted to not get in the way later on. Everything is being done as normal (and I really should do a summary of all that in one place soon), which means the parchment isn't far from being done.
The wing icons are so far Celestra Grey, Apothecary White Contrast, and some finely placed Guilliman Blue. There are a couple steps left, probably Ulthuan Grey and some White Scar as edge highlighting.
I still need to add a little more shading in a few key areas of the golden armour, a few dots of highlight, and need to repair the halo before getting to more metallics.
Guess I'll see how much I can get done by this time next week.
