From the Desk: Why I Hate Basecoating First

When I paint, I generally tend to complete a section before moving onto the next. Usually I paint skin first, then on to armor, then cloth, and so on until I'm done. However for the Hex Hunters I wanted to do a prototype of the color scheme just to make sure I had it locked in as to what would be what color. Hence, here's the prototype. I didn't paint the metals but it gives me the general picture. I think this will work out pretty well, but it's hard to look at this phase and see how it's going to come together. There's so much shading and highlighting that needs to get done, and when I hold up one of the Blackfrost Shard models (as a reference for the color scheme) it makes for a shocking comparison. In any case, there's 10 more of these guys to paint as well, so I better get crackin!
