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

For the sword, the idea was to paint a demonic ice blade.
I've started with a wet blending of azure, blue, purple and black. Then I've highlighted the details with pure white to create the illusion of ice.
I've finished the job with a gloss varnish to increase the effect.
The handle has been painted with the same colour I've used for the other bones parts.

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

Some progress with my Grand Crane. I've painted the legs and the hoofs. Nothing special with that step, I've simply followed the same color scheme than the clothes under the armor.
The machete instead was more complicated. I was very hesitant about how to paint it. Then looking for some background, I've discovered that this blade was actually a big sharpe of ancient demon's teeth. So I've gone toward a old looking bone scheme.
I've first painted the foundation in wet blending mixing pale skin, ocre, white, sky blue and a touch of green. Then I've applied several layer of ink and washes mainly dark sepia, stone wash, blue and green.
Once dried, I've used drybrush with white in order to create some textures on the blade.
Last touch: some 3d effects to add some scratches and battle damages.
