Horns and claws and concretions

It's been a long time... lots of other things to do.

Anyway, back to our slo-mo dragon, and today we are looking at claws and -you've read the title.
These had already been painted in a light grey tone, but it was unsuitable for the bizarre concretion that are scattered over the dragon's skin.

A touch of black helped make a clear delimitation:

Then for some light green ('gretchin green') to link the black colour with the light grey. The result is far from pretty, but it's all part of the plan.

Now the whole thing is covered with a higly diluted layer of crème colour ('ushabti bone'), which, when dry, is enriched with the other tones underneath.

Here the dilution of paint is key, but it won't work properly on the concretions. These are given a 'dry brush', which could be described as the opposite of the dilution technique.

I'm not finished with these horns and claws and concretions, but it was hard time I post something on this blog. Hopefully it won't be long before the next bit.
