Painted the head armor & tusks; as well as the securing ropes for the howdah. Also touched up the elie's hide just a bit. Added some Vallejo Red & White to the Ceramcoat Mudstone and dry brushed the edges of the ears and front of the trunk - as well as small patches around the body. A final very light dry brushing of Ceramcoat Mudstone was applied overall. This should be it for the skin; it is neither too dark nor too light, and a good contrast to the bronze head armor.
Next, the blanket will be painted blue with, hopefully, a white spiral wave border. After that the elephant should be done and the tower and crew can be painted.
Looking rather nice Dean. If I had a banana, I think he would eat it.

Seeing how this elie is so much larger than the Magister Militum one, I've started on the other Aventine elie I have. Although it is a later Seleucid fully-armored type, I'll probably still use it for a game next month with a Pyrrhic army. It's just too impressive not to use. Dean
ReplyDeleteVery nice work. I'm not an ancient gamer but I appreciate a well painted elephant when I see one!
ReplyDeleteThat's looking very nice! I have a couple of those to paint.
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed, I love your attention to detail on the ears and skin.
