The Night King - Painting: Intro

As I mentioned earlier, the lower half of the figure is DONE(!); and priming is scheduled to be completed by the weekend. . . 

The painting arc of the project will be comprised of four distinct sub-threads:
  • Painting I: Lower half of the figure.
  • Painting II: Upper half of the figure.
  • Painting III: Scenic Setting (Groundwork)
  • Painting IV: Finishing/Wrapping-Up

The upper half of the figure, or rather its components--head/torso and arms--will be primed indivi- dually. The head and torso will be pre-painted, then permanently attached to the lower half of the body, once the gambeson skirt is dry. The arms will be first undercoated, then attached (assem- bled) to be completed in situ.

    1. There's always a chance. . . And this project has a better chance than most as it is the first of two Walkers that I will be sending images of the finished work to the Ukraine and Russia.
