Process behind making Long Claws. Wax-resin, straight out of the mold (with help from my partner), hours of sanding (like any good hobby), and then cleaned up and neatly stabbed into a chunk of foam for easy transport.

Washes done, now using pastels to shade recesses/deep areas. I used very dark brown on a cotton bud for most of it, and a lighter brown/red on the white areas (never shade with pure black, it flattens everything!). Also using light dust pigment to "age" the larger areas. Subtle.

Here's a closer look at two of the new Archwing sets! Itzal and Elytron have been broken into two parts, with new winglets added. Textures are brand new PBR and fully tintable. We've also rearranged tints so they make sense with the original modular set, like metal in last tint.

This was a botched pour, the plaster set too early to remove bubbles and voids, was too late to save the wax so poured anyway for science. What cool results. Liver of sulphur on the dark ones, and bare metal for the white.
