I finally got around to that partial repaint of the Walking With Dinosaurs Troodon minifigure. I touched up the figure's original paint job to give it more detail, and to have it a bit more closely resemble the design on the card that came with it.
Before:
After:
I blended the yellow crest more into the rest of the plumage and added
the orange tint the crest feathers have at the tips. I painted the teeth
off-white so the figure visibly has any, added pupils and little shines to the eyes, and dark grey to the nostrils to bring them out, too. I also
made the blue around the eyes shift a little more gradually to the grey
snout and the brown plumage.I painted the toe claws, including dewclaws. Before doing so I noticed the sickle claws were pretty nonexistent, so I grew them a bit with blobs of acrylic paint before giving them the dark brown colour. Troodontids didn't have as prominent sickle claws as their dromaeosaurid cousins did, but the figure's right foot didn't seem to even have a claw on that toe, and now it does.
I didn't touch the rest of the figure, it's already great. A very pretty, tiny birb.
