step-by-step: celtos female druid

1   2   3   4   5   6

3rd Part: Painting the staff and clothing.
I want her to look like a person that is close to nature, so the staff will be made from wood and her clothing will be made from leopard skin.


I put black coat for the spear head. Followed with Vallejo Dark Grey.

For the highlight, I added Vallejo Offwhite little by little to Vallejo Dark Grey for the result on the 2nd picture.

For the final highlight, I painted Vallejo Offwhite on the edges of the carves.

 


I basecoated the staff with GW Bestial Brown and a little bit of Vallejo Iraqui Sand

Then, I painted the wood grain with Vallejo Iraqui Sand, thinned down like watercolor consistency. I want the staff to look tribal, so I painted the wood grain as sharp lines, to accentuate the tribal look and feel.

 


For the leopard skin, I started with Vallejo Light Brown for basecoat.

For highlight, I added GW Bubonic Brown and Vallejo Iraqui Sand to Vallejo Light Brown.

For the spots, I used Vallejo Burnt Umber.

 


The staff is accentuated with Gold ring. To be consistent with the stell, I painted the Gold in NMM way.

Started GW Bestial Brown on top of black coat. Continue with adding GW Snakebite Leather for the 1st highlight. Then add GW Bubonic Brown to the Bestial Brown and Snakebite Leather mix for the next highlight. Accentuate light reflection with Ivory. Same method applied to her bracelet on her right arm.
