The knight collection is intended to be a unit of free blade knights with each one representing a friend of mine. Vindex is my representative in this unit. I decided to replicate the War Griffons scheme as it is just a an intriguing combination. A warm and a cool colour. The blue is another cold colour but since I am using such saturated tones for the yellow the blue is a more jarring contrast than the greys.
My experiments at replicating the full on mottled effect on the original War Griffons art have not provided a satisfactory effect yet so instead I have simply used a slightly more extreme shading change in the greys at the carapace edges. If I come up with an effective technique for doing the mottled effect, I can always paint it on top of the work already done.
First some of the WIP shots.
Then the mostly done shots. Lots of pipes and hoses to paint.
You know, this guy reminds me of something....something I was supposed to finish. Now what was that...
Oh, right.
