This guy represents a lot of firsts for me.
This was the first Khador 'jack that I painted with an airbrush, And I was a little surprised with how it turned out. I was originally going for a drab green-brown, but the more I highlighted it, the more it took on a desert/winter camo feel. I'm pleased with it, and I'm bouncing around the idea of painting an Epic Sorcha force in this scheme.
The second first was the sponge applied battle damage. It's a great time saver compared to manually picking and choosing where to place the damage and it looks much more natural. It's a handy little trick to take advantage of, and I look forward to refining it.
Lastly, this is my first experiment messing around with a different background than what I've been using. This helps the figure pop more, and makes the image a little more interesting then a plain grey background. I found this background over at BlackDog Painting. They have a few other colors that will probably be making appearances the more photos I take. So far, working with this one, I can attest that the backgrounds are fantastic. I highly recommend them!
As always, questions and comments welcome!
