The Penitent from Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood. I wanted to expand my use of metallics, inspired by https://monumenthobbies.com/blogs/methodologies/methodology-29-weathered-bronze-armor

I really liked the colors this included, though I overdid the metals themselves. The game has a LOT of capes, mostly red or purple, so I wanted to try an orange version. The end result is a bit eccentric given the game's theme, but I'm pretty happy with it overall, especially since I don't have any dark orange tones.

Armor

  1. Base the Armor with Jade
  2. Stipple Verdigris leaving some of the color exposed beneath. Focus on areas water would settle.
  3. Stipple turquoise Sky Blue in spots
  4. Lightly Dry Brush Dark Bronze , building up color
  5. Lightly Dry Brush Runelord Brass on broad highlights
  6. Lightly Dry Brush Light Bronze on narrow highlights / edges

I over-applied the Brass and Light Bronze on this; would have preferred more of the verdigris to stay.

Cape

  1. Undertone Leather Brown , mixing with Mythical Orange and highlights with Warlord Purple
  2. Darker areas with Hot Orange . Midtones with gradual additions of Mythical Orange
  3. Highlights with additional mixes of Averland Sunset and Skeleton Bone

Everything Else

  1. Book & Parchment Skeleton Bone with Sepia wash. Then thin Skeleton Bone for highlights.
  2. Fur: Well-thinned Leather Brown almost as a wash, followed by dry-brushing and selective highlights with Skeleton Bone
  3. Paldrons based with Jade . Then mixed with Skeleton Bone for texture highlights
  4. Leather with Vallejo Gorgon Brown 72.124, highlights with mixed Skeleton Bone
  5. Mace Leadbelcher and Black Ink
  6. Helment 'hair' (?) Mythical Orange and mixes of Averland Sunset
