Kalanzar the Wicked part 2

I finished painting Kalanzar a long while ago now, and forgot to circle back around to show off how I did it and how it looks all finished off. You did get to see it in the Year in Minis post from back in 2023, but here's a detailed look at the process. I wanted to keep the palette somewhat limited, both for consistency across the mini, but also for my own sanity, so this was the selection of paint I picked. I started with the wings... It looks really bright here... and it is, but this is just the start. Then it was off to blocking in the colors on the body. You'll notice the head is missing. I neglected to take work in progress pics of the head, but it was painted separately from the body. There were a few small gaps, but it was big enough to bug me, so I filled them, and sculpted some kinda matching scales to blend it all in. More work on the body, deepening the shadows, trying to hit all the highlights. So many scales... I regularly plugged the wings into the body to make sure…
