Painting Highlight: THE XANATHAR

March 25, 2021

Oh, boy, do I have an update for you all today, Dear Readers! I finally got my metallic color paints in!

Here’s an unboxing for you:

Army Painter metallic paints set in a box. Various colored bottles: gold, silver, copper, green, blue, pink and red.

A tray of colorful inks, including metallic, with mixing balls and a

A lovely tray, with the lovely colors and the one effect. Additionally the 16 ball bearings that allow the colors to mix so much better. Although they aren’t pictured, of course it came with a small brochure and painting guide.

Bottles of ink in various colors, plus a small bag of metal ball bearings, on a wooden surface.

Here are all the colors and the effect. For those unaware, the Fairy Dust effect is great as it turns any color into a metallic color. It’s pretty handy.

Now for the rings to be painted, as the Xanathar wears a ring on four of his eyestalks.

Blue monster with many eye stalks, a wide mouth, and one large red eye.

Notice that I had originally missed one of the rings. Yeah, I’ll get to it in a bit.

Now for the eyes on the eyestalks:

Now for the central eye slit…

Blue, toy creature with multiple eye stalks, open mouth with sharp teeth.

So what do you think, Dear Readers? How do you think it’s coming along? I’m going to do the shading and such next, and will update everyone next week!
