Steps

  1. 1 Dry-brush the whole body with Titanium White to boost the contrast the speed paint base coat will get.
  2. 2 Base coat all of Panthor's fur with Moonlake Coral speed paint, applied thick and left to pull into the recesses.
  3. 3 Base coat the claws with Black Grey, and mix Leadbelcher with Olive Green for the armor.
  4. 4 Fill in the eyes with Ice Yellow and the teeth with Ivory.
  5. 5 Highlight the claws with Ivory mixed into the Black Grey base, in two progressively lighter, smaller layers on the tops of the nails.
  6. 6 Base coat the leather strap under the armor with Zandri Dust, then highlight it with two layers of Ivory mixed in, focused on the edges.
  7. 7 Shade the lower areas of the armor with a thinned mix of Black Grey into the Leadbelcher/Olive Green base.
  8. 8 Glaze a thinned Olive Green and Silver mix over the upper parts of the armor for a highlight, then edge-highlight with a less-thinned, more silver version of the same mix.
  9. 9 Apply Titanium White over the areas that will receive fur highlights, then glaze a second coat of Moonlake Coral speed paint, thinned with Speedpaint Medium, over the whole body to boost contrast.
  10. 10 Wash the leather strap and teeth with Agrax Earthshade, then once the fur is dry, paint the nose with Black Grey.
  11. 11 Base coat the ground on the base with Iraqi Sand, then pick out the stones with Cold Grey.
  12. 12 Highlight the nose with two progressively lighter layers of Ivory mixed into Black Grey, then wash the whole base with Agrax Earthshade and paint the base rim with pure Black.
