The model is available in bleached bone - similar resin and had no noticeable casting defects or burrs - class quality:
After the model was washed (brush, soap and water) has been primed with the so-called 2-component priming method of first black primer, followed by white:
Getting Started
The colour I wanted him to keep was quite yellow with a brown mane. Not as typical for a natural lion fur, a little more in the direction "Fantasylionking" what he is indeed the end for me when saw him first ...
As base i did use a mix of Snakebite Leather with a tip of Bleached Bone for the brighter yellow parts in which I brought in the wet basic colour, a bit of Bestial Brown for the first soft shadows mingled down ...
... while the mane with a mix of Bestial Brown + Chaos Black was started. While it was still wet, I went with pure Bestial Brown in it to get lights in the wet ground - in the end I do think even a drop of the yellow tone jumped in ...has been very spontaneous, so I apologize if this performance gap ...
The lots, such as leather and sword I first ran out completely ... The eyes, I've started with a black base, set up a yellow and painted the black same time, the black eyeballs to determine the view:
With terracotta, translucent plotted enhanced I call the color of the face around there more attention. The mane was controlled in some of the lights and shadows again further strengthened and intensed.
The mouth was then followed with a mix of Warlock Purple, Codex Grey and Tanned Flesh. Also the facial got some subtile attention with these colours mostly with warlock purple.
For the leather parts, I again used the technique of wet on wet painting, and thus set a baseline of several shades of brown, to the shadows out something blue in the mix, and after drying, the addition of subtle desert yellow to indicate some wear agencies ...
The metal has started very brightly with Mithril Silver and here was wet colour again made into one another on the miniature, the first step towards the shade. By adding Chaos Black (single darker) on a drop Teracotto (customize the metal) to the addition of blue (shadow in the background) bring the metal has received at the end of his appearance.
The leather on the shoulder that began with a mix of Catachan Green and Bleached Bone, which I re-together moist by adding a drop of blue / brown darkening. As with the leather strap was done also by the addition of Desert Yellow to simulatee wear ...
The eyes and the mouth parts were further clarified. Subtle glazes of red and blue and purple here and there enhanced the effect of deep-set eye sockets, while the eyes did get a reflex point. The right eye with the scar about 6 times stained with a highly diluted mixture of gloss varnish and light blue turquoise / (Always leave to dry) ...
The basic color of the mouth was slightly brought lighter and fine lines were drawn over the lower lip. Then I came up with the weirdo idea with lots of fine varnish on the eyes and mouth somehow bring the shine to ... Yeah, bring the shine! Stupid idea, haha:
I did take this a bit more in fading away by painting over the glossy parts again... learning while doing, haha.
Unfortunately, the final preparation is passed once again in a brainless moment on my part and precise grammar of the approach is hardly enumerable, as eigtl already so far in this entire step-by-step ... for this I apologize - I tend to work spontaneously, but I think for the one or the other, this may look very interesting.
The final bust:
I hope I could have given a little insight, even if the step-by-step sure sounds massivly confused again - but that's the way i am ... so please take me as i am forever ... love or so... blurrb!
Happy Painting!

Aloa hey hey,
after browsing and cleaning up my own hard disk i found a lot of "old" tutorials i had done in german for some german painter forums. I would like to share those with you in english too - even if they are a bit older. So here we go - first up from those Oldies is a Step by Step from my first bust ever - Leo by Yedharo Models in scale 1:10 i did paint back in the end of 2008. It is also my Zodiac so i was very excited by this great bust.
The model is available in bleached bone - similar resin and had no noticeable casting defects or burrs - class quality:

While it was still wet, I went with pure Bestial Brown in it to get lights in the wet ground - in the end I do think even a drop of the yellow tone jumped in ...has been very spontaneous, so I apologize if this performance gap ...
By now i had thoughts of highlights and shadows before my eyes on the bust. I started to develop them further, in the yellow field with Bestial Brown, Black glaze gen end up with a drop of turquoise and at the end of a mini-droplets to intensify the shadows (the darkest mixture thereof, I took the deepest recesses, such as teeth, etc. and made them dark, while I fell back to the mane on stains from a highly dilute Chaos Black + Schorched Brown Mix...

This whole story was then, after being dried, diluttly glazed with about 5 ~ 6 layers of paint over smoke from Vallejo Model Colour 70939 while in the end and downward a tip of blue / turquoise in the smoke mingled to reinforce the shade. In between were a few lines of wear and even the broken edges of the cracks with a pure desert yellow done, in places also followed suit with Bleached Bone ...
After drying, bloodstains were added randomly ...

A little play in a small image editing program made me look how the light suits on the model at the moment:
The basic color of the mouth was slightly brought lighter and fine lines were drawn over the lower lip. Then I came up with the weirdo idea with lots of fine varnish on the eyes and mouth somehow bring the shine to ... Yeah, bring the shine! Stupid idea, haha:

The yellowish skin was highlighted with the subtle addition of Bleached Bone cleared in the basic mix - single lines were applied to an attempt by the structure of fur ... Mane in the final lights were intensed ...
Intensified final shade with one or another glaze and also emphasizes the lights with minimal brush contact ...
The final bust:
Happy Painting!

Stunning work, and a great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
Good to to see this tutorial again!
What I really like about this miniature is
the impressionistic touch the fur has. Looks
like a mixture of a mini and a classic painting
imo.
There's a duplicate sentance in your second paragraph by the way. ;)
