James Wappel Miniature Painting: Some Angron management...painting work in progress...

James Wappel Miniature Painting: Some Angron management...painting work in progress...: me Angron management...painting work in progress





As we waited all day to hear from the mechanics at the garage (still waiting, so no word until Friday, I guess) I ramped up the work on the Forgewprld Angron set. I had been working on the other parts for 2-3 days, but I wanted to concentrate the photos on Angron himself.

This is a gold recipe that I have not used in a long time. It is modified a bit, but it should still be fun! It is based on snakebite leather. There are some Vallejo colors I have been using for the last year or two for this purpose, but I wanted to give this a try. :-)

You can see the snakebite leather (mixed with some very dark brown) applied across every gold surface.


Working with my usual shaded basecoat technique, I thought about how I would get to my lighter colors.

This view of my temporary palette gives you a sense of the plan... I wanted a cooler light on the left, and a slightly warmer light on the right. The warmer colors will generally be facing upwards, and the cooler shades towards the ground.


Those warmer tones are mixed in with my lights on the sky facing surfaces...


And the cooler lights towards the ground.


To make sure I don't end up with an 'orphan color", that light color is also applied to the fur cape.


The skulls get more of a red, so that they separate a bit from everything else.


A bit of that tone is used on the face. Later tonight I will have another post to show the progression of the lightest highlights. Then it will be time for glazing and tinting fun!!!
