Here is a little project I'm working on at the moment..... A Cygor!
I'm free to paint him however I choose so any ideas are welcome.

The skin is almost done, here are the colours I've used so far:

Skin: Tallern flesh, Ogryn Flesh, 1:1 Tallern Flesh and Dheneb Stone.
Fur: Scorched Brown, 1:1 Scorched Brown and Vomit Brown.
Statue: Shadow Grey, Badab Black, Codex Grey, Dheneb Stone.
Waystone: Shadow Grey, Thraka Green, Codex Grey, Fortress Grey.













What do you think?

I think the base is looking nice.

Is there going to be a transition between the skin colour and the fur?

I can't say that I'd thought about that. Do you mean blending the colours into one another? I don't think I will as I'm quite happy with how it's coming along.

Most of the blending I'll be doing is on the horns and the skin:

Unfortunately the Cygor will have to be put on hold.
It's been a while since I updated the plog and that's because the client has not responded to my email updates. Hopefully I will be able to post updates soon but you never know. Having said that, even if the client backs out, which I'm hoping he won't, I will still finish it. It will simply take a back seat as I have other priorities...

...Such as, Dark Elves! As it's now radio silence with the Cygor client I am able to bring forward a new project to paint 20 Corsairs and 10 Shades. The new client is adament on just a tabletop standard, and not bothered about the colours; he just wants them done as soon as possible.

Simple really...

Here are the first few stages of some Corsairs:




Shades, primed and ready:


I hope to update this plog more than I have been (assuming I hear back from this client).

Due to the commission spec's I'm purposely not picking out the details, so please don't hammer me for that. Indeed, it seems a shame as they are really great miniatures; I just have to do what I'm told!

IF the fellow isnt calling you back about the Cygor, I hope you arent stiffed with the cost of the model!

I know I ask for them to supply the models plus a tad down for paint so I dont have to worry about losing out.

I do it mostly to supply my gaming needs, and some towards my kids treehouse :-)

Once the flesh is done on those DElfs itwill be easier to see them. Good start though!

@ Scarab Lord: Fortunately I only start work with a 50% payment up front which has more than accounted for the purchase of the beast. Still no word from him!

The Dark Elves are finished though! Here's the scheme:
Cloth: Liche Purple, Ogryn Flesh shade
Metal: Chaos black, Boltgun Metal drybrush (Ogryn Flesh wash on the horn)
Scales: Dark Angels Green, Snot Green drybrush
Skin: Elf Flesh, Ogryn Flesh shade
Hair & Boots: Chaos Black
Eyes: Chaos Black, 'Ardcoat

Here are the Corsairs:

The client is happy with the pictures and I have sent the models off! Stay tuned for the next project...
