Been making some good progress on the Hippogryph's armor, although I do need to work on its body some; notably the head.

I have done work on the leg & chest armor, adding steel with silver highlights. Also adding color to the barding around the body that connects the armor pieces, originally going for a leather look when crafted it looks more like cloth now? After that I began filling in the leather armor on the chest, i need to add some highlights and more wash, but its coming along.

The tabards draping over the side are my biggest issue, and I think it's the bright red. The tabard is the color of the Vanari Warden plumes, but i think with the brighter color of the body it doesn't totally work here. I am thinking of changing the colors to either black + orange (like the armor), changing the black pattern to yellow, or black + yellow. Haven't decided yet, going to sleep on it and decide tomorrow.

It's already looking fantastic Suds!
 
Hey everyone! Some good progress on the Hippogryph which I plan to continue more today after some sleep (420am atm).

Changed the tabard colors, i think the black and orange works a lot better than the red over red. I did keep the wild rider red on the backside of the tabard, i might keep it... but haven't decided yet. I still need to do a wash on it, the red under shoes through a little which looks kinda cool actually.

Ive also begun picking out the white spots on the wings again, they kinda faded when i did the washes of Reikland Fleshshade and light dry brushing of wild rider red.

Looking good! You're right, the black and orange looks much better than the red I think. I do like the red underside though :)

Thank you! And yes, agreed, the black and orange play better with the body for sure. I also like having it the reverse of the shield armor

Also agreed, gonna keep the red underside!
 
No painting update tonight, I've been doing some writing instead and some drawing for the Animosity III Campaign coming up for my Lumineth and Hathorians. One of the drawings I'm working on is an Alarith Floating Island Fortress, this is how my armies get around:

image0-2.jpg

Housing not just an army, but possibly multiple settlements as well. The perimeter is dotted with walls and ballista towers, among other defenses.

Aside from that, I'm thinking of doing more voice chat hobby time, at least once or twice a week for an hour or so? Not sure on the time as it'll probably be random, but if anyobe ia interested we can work out a more solid time. Ive been popping in here and there already incase anyone pops in. So if this interests you, pop in if you see me :)

Great stuff Suds!

Even though I've seen you turn out completed mini's, I can't help but think about that meme when you show another project starting... ;)

Thank you!

Lol that meme is going to live forever! Haha

Indeed lol another project indeed, however! I am focused on 3 projects currently: Hippogryph, Wardens (first 10) and now this.

After the Hippogryph is finished that'll free up some time for sure. Wardens if i focus wont take long at all, goal is 20 by the end of the month. The new kitbash I'm thinking will be a more towards the end of the month? We'll see. The Animosity campaign doesn't technically begin until tue 14th, so i have some time to build still.

My passion i feel is building and kitbashing lol Im decent at painting, and i enjoy seeing a finished model.... but kitbashing and building is where im happiest for sure.
