Fred's 2014 Painting Diary

I've got some flyers to paint up, but am unsure of colour scheme to use, any thoughts?

Splinter camouflage? 

[toxicpixie]

Splinter would look groovy... and dinosaurs may well have been all sorts of colours so there's precedent...

What army are they for?

[fred.]

Thanks I for all the ideas chaps.

I am leaning towards a blue/grey like the falcon. The splinter idea is interesting...

Tp - they are for a Lizardmen army, there are more details a page or two back.

[toxicpixie]

Ah yes, I've seen them... A blue/grey splinter with some thing bright for contrast would look good!

Yes, I think I will go with the peregrine falcon colours, but in a more splinter/stripes pattern. Should be different at least!

Lizard Raptors

A quick block in of the main blue colour for the wings - went with Oxford Blue - which looks a bit more purple in the photo than in real life.

That has come out a bit 'purply' in the photo.
Looks like that'll work well, though.

Wowzers, they didn't look that purple on the iPhone!

Should be a good base colour, anyway

[fred.]

More work on the Raptors - undersides of the wings done in sea grey with a touch of oxford blue. Bodies done with a bit more blue added. Then angular stripes added to the wings with the same slightly darker grey/blue - these have been highlighted slightly.

I attempted to included more things in the photo (now mostly cropped out) to make the colour balance better.

Looking good!

Giving the right impression.

I'm totally amazed. My suggestion was intended to be satirical. Oh, well, many a true word....

Really impressed with the painting scheme. Yes, I like it!
