Sojobo part 3: last details before wash

Well that didn't go well this last week, sorry about the abrupt drop in activity without any warning. From now on i'll be posting regularly on Mondays and Fridays, there might be surprise updates in between but these won't happen all too often.

For the fan i've done the leaves with "reflective green" the little balls i've done with "scarlet", the handle has been done with "beige brown".

The gauntlet has been done with a base of "english uniform" with the details done in "gold". The staff top and bottom has also been done with "gold".

The gem on Sojobo's head has been done in "flat yellow".

The tankard has been done in "german camouflage medium brown", the rope has been done in "goldbrown".

As the last thing his finger and toes have been done with "green grey". I've purposefully left his wings, hair and feet black to keep the crow look.

On the left leg are two small bottles, i've kept them "german camouflage medium brown" as i got a bit lazy with the final details.

i've done the rock under his feet a light grey i mixed with parts "green grey" and "white".' The earth has been done with "flat earth". I don't have an Image with these two added because I forgot to take the picture (d'oh!).

Sojobo ready to take his bath.

For the wash I used the vallejo wash in the picture "Sepia Shade". Despite the name it's a very brown shade in my opinion and I use it for about everything i paint.

Don't mind the models in the backgrounds those are for a post another time.

I use a lot of wash and I would recommend to do that too as it picks out all the details in the recesses. For example Sojobo's abs.

 In the second picture in this article or in one of my previous posts it becomes a blank slate, but with the wash all the muscles can be clearly seen.

What's also great with wash is that because it's very thin it will seep into the recesses and already will seem as if it's highlighted.

A view from the back to conclude the post. On Monday i'll show the final step: highlights!
