[ACHERON ARMY - WINTER IS COMING] LE GRAND CRANE - The horns

After a little bit of anger  for my "non painting" situation, I've been lucky yesterday evening as my kids have decided to go to bed early. (Finally!!!)
So I've catched the opportunity to go ahead with my Grand Crane. Just a short session but enough to complete the huge horns of my skull warrior.
The base color was already painted. I used a  yellow ocre + a touch of blue wet blended with pure black.

Mainly I've worked the light and shadow, defining again the volume. For the color recipe I've semply used the base color with black and white to desaturate the overall color. The base color was a little bit too yellow, not in line with the rest of the miniature and because I wanted to make the horns old and worn, it was important to not let the colors too satutared.
I've also painted some dammages  just to add a little bit of texture because the horns were a little bit too flat for my taste.
    
Next step: finish the legs and the hoofs.

[DISNEY INFINITY MV CHALLENGE] GAME OVER


And it is a failure...
Unfortunatly the due date of the Massive Voodoo challenge was for October the 19th and I was not able to conclude it in time.
To be absolutly honest, I don't even have the time to put my pencil on.
It's the problem when you're a hobbyst with a full time job and a two small kids at home, you never have the guarantee to find free time for yourself.
I'm quite upset with that also because all my painting projects are stopped since 2 months.
In fact, I was also confident to finish  my Rackham Grand Crane before November the 1st for the FigureMentors' Art Quest 2017 but at this point, It will be impossible to do it in time.

Hard time for dad painters...
