"...Whose simian physique was apparent at birth." |
The founding member of the X-Men was then layered in pure "Vallejo" Heavy Blue, before being drenched in plenty of "Citadel" Drakenhof Nightshade and dry-brushed with (more) "Vallejo" Heavy Blue. I next carefully 'picked out' the hairy mutant's belt with a couple of coats of Skulker Yellow by "Two Thin Coats", and ensured that any flat areas still allowing some of the "Vallejo" Heavy Blue to show through were subsequently given a lick of "Two Thin Coats" White Star.

"CoolMiniOrNot" WIPs - Iron Man has been layered, shaded and dry-brushed |
Having completed the majority of Hank McCoy's colours, I began picking out his piercing eyes and pointed teeth with some careful spots of White Star by "Two Thin Coats", as well as his tongue in "Vallejo" Heavy Red. These wonderfully sculpted details were ultimately shaded in "Citadel" Agrax Earthshade or Carroburg Crimson as appropriate.

"CoolMiniOrNot" WIPs - Beast is now ready for his tiny details to be 'picked out' |
In addition, I didn't want to fully turn my back on my massive Zombicide backlog either, so thought I might as well slap some colours on my Beast miniature for that co-operative boardgame by "CoolMiniOrNot" too. The palette is slightly different to Hank McCoy's 'bigger brother' and the sculpt is obviously in an entirely different scale as well, so working on this particular X-Man hasn't thankfully felt too similar to working on his completed Marvel United incarnation...
Great job on Beast Simon, with the lack of fur detail you've got a great result. Good to hear that Iron Man is progressing well this time, and great start on the smaller Hank as well, should be a lot easier with the additional fur detail.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. The other Beast is already finished, and so should Iron Man be once I've got another hobby session under my belt.
DeleteAgree, love the Beast too!
ReplyDeleteGreat work.
Cheers Michal. It was a great sculpt to work on. Really pleased with how he came out.
DeleteDouble Beast! Which model do you prefer? The Chibi one looks awesome and that yellow belt really stands out. What a vibrant colour that is.
ReplyDeleteThanks Undercoat. I think the Marvel United Beast is probably one of my fave sculpts from the boardgame full stop. The Zombicide one is pretty cool too though.
