Mortarion Step by Step; Week 4

Hi all.

This was an exciting but very hard week. I managed to finish several important parts so I could start the Assembling of this guy!! In fact, it's not more work than other weeks, but it's a moral improvement as I can start to see light after all!

Let's see what we did!

STEP 62: I painted the other arm in the same way as previously we did in the other steps.

STEP 63: Using Green Stuff World masking putty (I'm starting to love this thing) I protected the painting job to paint the horns.

STEP 64: I applied a base with a mixture of Acrylicos Vallejo Burnt Umber and Games WorkshopDheneb Stone

STEP 65: Using Harder & Steenbeck Airbrush and Games Workshop Komando Khaki I applied some lights.

STEP 66: Using Harder & Steenbeck Airbrush and Josonja's Folk Art Studio Inc. Carbon black I painted the dark side of the horns.

STEP 67: I recovered some mid-tone with Josonja's Folk Art Studio Inc. earth Brown using Harder & Steenbeck Airbrush

STEP 68: I finished the horns with outlines.

STEP 69: Unmasked and piece finished.

STEP 70: I also painted this piece exactly in the same way as previous armour parts.

STEP 71: To the upper part of the cloak, I applied a base of Josonja's Folk Art Studio Inc. French Blue.

STEP 72: Again, I protected the painted parts using Green Stuff World masking putty

STEP 73: Using Harder & Steenbeck Airbrush and Josonja's Folk Art Studio Inc. titanium white, I applied some general lights.

STEP 74: I also painted using Harder & Steenbeck Airbrush and Josonja's Folk Art Studio Inc. Carbon Black + Acrylicos Vallejo Burnt Umber some general shadows.

STEP 75: I started to hand paint shadows using some mixtures of base + black in different proportions. Also, I added some glazes with orange, purple, turquoise and green tones.

STEP 76: I Added some light pointing with a brush.

STEP 77: Also, I added some texture airbrushing at low pressure using Harder & Steenbeck Airbrush and The Army Painter matt black + Acrylicos Vallejo Burnt Umber. Here you can see a close up.

STEP 78: To paint the lower part of the cloak I started with a base of Scale 75 royal purple + Acrylicos Vallejo Burnt Umber

STEP 79: I applied a desatured cold light mixing blue and light grey and a dark shadow with black, both using Harder & Steenbeck Airbrush

STEP 80: Now, with nothing finished on this piece, I have enough painted to start assembling! This is a big step!!

STEP 81: Now I can start to outline with shadow the upper part of the cloack. I used a mixture of The Army Painter matt black and Andrea Miniatures Matt black.

STEP 82: I reinforced the tones with more glazes.

STEP 83: Also, I painted the light outlines mixing a cold green and a light blue.

STEP 84: At this point, I can glue the head and the arms too. This is starting to look awesome!!

STEP 85: I aplied a basecoat to the face mixing so many colors until I get to one close to what I was looking for. I used Scale 75 light Skin + Acrylicos Vallejo Bunrt Umber and Pale Grey Blue and The Army PainterNecrotic flesh

STEP 86: I gave a couple of washes with Scale 75 royal purple

STEP 87: I recovered basecoat but letting the wahses keep in the deep areas.

STEP 88: Slowly I painted the lights adding The Army Painter Necrotic flesh and Acrylicos Vallejo Pale grey blue

STEP 89: I forced some shadows with a mixture of Scale 75 Royal Purple + Acrylicos Vallejo Burnt Umber + matt black. I also painted the eyes, but inverse, the Sclera black and the iris white.

STEP 90: I added some red tones to create an irritation feeling.
