Feathers and Fur

Hello guys,
                 some more griffin for you. I have now pretty much finished painting on the griffin the cat part of the mini was a lot of fun to paint although a bit time consuming, i painted the fur buy first doing the blending in the normal way up to the midtone then kind of a wet stipple with an old brush up to the lighter colours. good fun!
I said last post that i would show you a photo of the base. (no i did not forget) i decided that the standard base that is supplied with the mini was a bit small so im going to make a bigger fancier base as the the wing span of the griffin is quite big and dwarfs the base and does not make for good composition. So will now have to start over with that but i will keep along the same theme of a waterfall forest style.



Here are the knightmare wings that drove me crazy,
click pics for bigger image. more soon with the base
peace out!!

I know your pain! Two years ago I`ve repainted these wings about 2-3 times.
Cool texture of leopard skin!
