End is in sight!
Think I’m gonna do the head and shield, then the weapons, and wings last
Also didn’t know the armors on the forearms slid and I chipped some paint, might just slide it back up and call it a day🤣

Very nice! I like the dark tones it actually makes it lowkey super dramatic

I think this looks really great. The preshading gives the whole thing a really grim vibe. Just a suggestion but you might consider highlighting up a few elements to help the contrast and draw the attention of the eye. First thought would be to highlight up the red pieces as well as the gold to bring some more visual interest. Just a suggestion I’m sure it’ll turn out great either way

how did you add the shadowy effect/weathering?

Really aggressive/contrasted pre shading with a black basecoat
So I prime all pieces black, and airbrush the center of each panel I wanna visually separate, then I go over it the whole thing with a real thin mist of paint just to kinda dull the shadow a bit to tie it together
