Path in a patch of wet powder

Painting Soft steps and Daydreamer

I'd say painting adult Soft steps and Daydreamer, but I never painted their baby figures (except Soft steps' pupils). But, yes, that's who these two are!

First, eyes, for some reason. Soft steps' eyes are very pale, so I painted over them with white before giving them their correct colour, to cover well the orange. Daydreamer's eyes were, on closer inspection, a little off their intended placement, so I had to touch them up, too, despite not changing the colour, but it would have bothered me otherwise. Both have glow-in-the-dark paint on their eyes - Daydreamer as a thin line around the pupil (not visible in normal lighting because it's translucent and close to the yellow in colour), and Soft steps over the entire iris.

Like with Tumult, I also covered up Soft steps' epoxy putty additions, and the dark stripes where I'll paint her base colour instead, with off-white before starting on her actual colours.

Extreme measures

New birbs on the waiting to be repainted shelf of bookless dinocase. By the time you're reading this, I've already started painting them, but here's a "before" shot. Both may look familiar:

The one on the left is an Extreme Damage JW raptor, another of which I repainted into Tumult last year. Like with Tumult's figure, I first patched up the extreme damage feature, using foil as filler and epoxy putty as sculpting material, and fixed a balance issue with one of the feet.

The one on the right is a Savage Strike JW raptor, whom I've had for a while now, but now I finally know who it's going to become. Kind of strange it took so long, considering this figure is actually pretty much perfect for the character. The other one is going to need to become a very different colour, but picking the same sculpt as Tumult's figure felt fitting, in more than just that I like how it looks.
