Finished painting these guys yesterday afternoon, right down to the wire.
I went with a red lightning effect on the swords instead of purple to keep the color palette tight. Instead of black wings, I did metallic silver - I think it goes well together with the gold.
Speaking of which, the gold was an ordeal to paint - I did a layer of silver first, then put 2 or 3 light layers of antique gold on top. It took a long while. Also, I got in some good practice with blacklining and the linework on the scrolls.
I'm especially happy with the marble effect on the shoulder pads--I need to get some pictures up that show em off.
Anyways, the golden boys are entered in the BoLS / BFG painting competition. As expected, there is some stiff competition -- wish me luck!
