Good/bad use of the weekend time. I put in somthing like 10 hours finishing up all of the modelling, but as a result, didn't much feel like painting on Sunday. I did get the stuff primed, and messed around with some color palates and such.
I could probably use some feedback on one item: how to paint the eyeballs. I can either go for lidded, or just a big eyeball sitting on top of the head. The former (lid) has a little more realistic look, and gets me around the fact that both my orc on wyvern and goblin on cave squig are resting their boots on the back of the mount's eyeballs. On the other hand, the big uncovered eyeball just looks cooler, never mind the realism. Extra shading might help the lidded look, but I didn't model an any eyelids, so the painted on look is going to look kinda fake on close inspection...
So tell me, is it just me, or is the lidless look so much better that I should just ignore the realism?
Pretty soon, I'm gonna have to start some sort of countdown. 2 weekends to go - I wonder if that is time enough, or if I'll need to take a sick day or two from work...
