1st Pterroman Done - Forge of Ice FEB

Kappetu "of the night's winds" is the first of the three pterromen to get painted as part of this special painting event. As a confirmed anti-integral base extremist I took the integral base off and made sure to get the areas between his toes. I think that removal turned out pretty well.

Most of the painted examples I've seen of the pterromen have been more traditional dinosaur colors (the pterasaur community would be upset that I called them 'dinosaurs')- browns and greens and the like. So I wanted to do something radically different. I came across some great pictures that were more like tropical birds that helped spark this color scheme.

The red bit isn't his eye, it's around his eye because that's something a lot of the fancier pictures I came across showed that I really liked. The rest of the pterromen will likely have different colors than Kappetu, but similarly strikingly different from the standard.

The base is from a resin piece of Egyptian tomb terrain I copied with some UV Resin. I wanted at least one of the pterromen to be standing on some more civilized ruins because I see them as defilers of human civilizations, but more on that some other time.

Here we see the Sleazy Merchant presenting a gift to Kappetu to help seal their dark pact.

And here's the Sebeki Priest in a pose-off with Kappetu.

And #forgeoficefebruary rolls on....
