Tharn Ravager Cloaks

An update on the Tharn Ravagers: I black washed the bases and the axe heads. The wash got into all the crevices but it was not very dark. A coat of black paint darkened up the base. The greens weren't quite dark enough in the recesses so I mixed some old GW Dark Green Ink with water 1:1 and washed the green cloaks with it. I dry brushed the cloaks with Folk Arts Aspen green, then a lighter dry brush of Aspen Green and Tapioca 1:1. Then I lined in that same highlight mix on the edges of the cloak. I'm not sure it makes a big difference but I liked doing it. Aside from the bits of bone and the things on the belts, I think I am calling the cloaks done. That feels nice! Tharn Ravagers = 55% 

Garden Flowers

Just a few update photos of my garden. The zucchini have really gotten big! 

Here are the flowers from the zucchini. These flowers will eventually be where the vegetables form. 

 On the other side of the zucchini, which are pinned back, is the herb garden. The basil, cilantro, and chives are all doing good. The banana peppers are in the back right corner. 

In Class

I am in class this week. It is my second to last class to finish up my degree, though I did the stage walk in May. It is a 3-hour graduate level class in one week. My brain is frying but it will soon be over.

Tharn Ravager Colors

I decided to quickly block in my colors.

  

Body, leather, and haft - Block in with Folk Arts (FA) Burnt Umber #462. Green cloak - Block in with 1:1 mix of FA's Aspen Green #646 and FA's Hauser Green Dark # 461. I started to do the green with just the Aspen green but over the gray primer, it was too light. If I had used my normal black primer, it probably would have been just fine. Next, I want to block in the bone colors and the black on the base. I plan on drybrushing the base some so I can't leave it too long.
