Tetto'Eko's almost done! Paint next!

The sculpting on Tetto'Eko and his palanquin is essentially done! He got quite a few additions:



High-qualtiy ties around the base of his horns. (Forgive the smooshedness of these, I had to repair them.)



A bowl of ixti grubs to snack on while fighting the hordes of Chaos.



And that's genuine carnosaur hide on the back there!



Here's what it looks like. That's his staff, out front; it's still being worked on and needs a lot more sanding. I may have to start over again on it, truthfully, but I'm trying to salvage what I've got there.



And this is the stand, with color. The snakes are perhaps a little too bright -- I'm hoping they don't distract from the final piece.

This is Tetto'Eko in his primary primer phase (ha ha!). I like to prime models I've had to do a lot of work on once; the paint makes little imperfections stand out. On this pass, I found a few places that needed more sanding and some clipping; I then daubed the primer where the model was bare.

And here's his base color coat with shading His scales are going to be much darker (and red), but basically, those are the colors he's got. Yes, he's also not wearing much bling, a pretty significant lizardman faux pas, but -- you know -- he summons magical explosive comets. I'm not too worried for his reputation. That's a more complete staff in the background.
