Judge Death - Painting (IV): Left Pauldron

With the head all-but-done, I can now begin to address the "accessory" items. First-up: the left pauldron. 

The Mega-City One Street Judges' left pauldron can probably best be described as a pad with ho- rizontal rectangular rolls. Death's left pauldron was a pad with human bones taking the place of the rectangular rolls. It is usually depicted as moderately-to-extensively weathered. 

I applied the oils directly onto the primed surface--no undercoating. This approach works particu- larly well on small leathery items. The pad was painted with Umbers (Raw and Burnt) and Lamp Black. The bones were stained with the pad colours, and wiped clean. These will be painted individually once the pauldron is permanently attached.

NEXT: "The Greens"

UPDATE 01.07.2014. . . The left pauldron has been permanently attached.
