Cryx Deathripper w/ Weathering
This is the first Privateer Press miniature I've ever painted and I was aiming for certain goals from the outset: I wanted to paint it with realistic looking bone, ceramic-like armor plating, realistic rust and general weathering, and a semi-decorative base with murky swamp water transitioning into wet earth and patches of moss. Essentially this guy represents a test figure of sorts on a number of fronts: Since getting back into painting I have generally been using GW Bleached Bone working up to white highlights - I tried a few other colors in the mix this time around; The rust was something I did on a whim, essentially making my own recipe for rust which I washed onto the little nipper. Lastly, this is the first time I've ever tried using water on a base, and barring an initial period where the liquid portion looked kinda "flat," I'm fairly happy with the end result. (Oh, and this is a first for me using scenic "grass" as well.) Comments and criticisms, please!
