Hello Reddit! First time posting, but I'm pretty proud of what I did and I felt like sharing with this subreddit which always gives me plenty of ideas.
I do swordfighting shows during medieval faires, and after years of getting beaten up I decided to fix my old shield. I used LIFECOLOR colours, they were pretty good but proved unuseable with an airbrush, so I had to do everything with a normal paintbrushes.
The colours (all acrylic)
- LC72 (satin black)
- a normal, brandless white
- UA545 (Finnish Orange for the foxes)
- UA623 (Sea Blue, for the background)
- LC006 (turtles' paws)
- Citadel's Dark Angel Green (turtles' shells)
- Citadel's Red Blood [BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!] (for the rose in the middle)
- Matte "Raw Terra Di Siena"
The shield (poplar with a layer of linen to protect the wood) was initially fixed applying simple wood putty to the dented areas, then it was all primed with black paint. I then printed the stencil of sorta good A4 sturdy paper and started painting it all.
In case anyone's is interested in the stencils I used: LINK
