Palkia Pillager

[u/Lyokomaster]

Hello all, here's my most recent project - my Palkia Pillager! This was my first attempt at gem effects....and a bit of a failure. Gem effects can be hard and off-white in general is a pain.

Ended up using a chalky pink to mix, I now know better. Besides the chalkiness and the pearls not turning out amazing (I attempted to follow a video for painting off white, a bit of a wash to darken, then gloss varnish to make the shiny effect to middling success), I think it turned out decently well. I do love the claws of it.

Soon to follow, a Crusader! Any guesses as to the Pokemon it will be?

FYI, Turbo Dork has a pearly white paint. I suspect you could do a glittery pastel pink and add a layer of pearlescent and get a good look.

Vallejo has a new line of metallic/glitter paints that look really good, in various shades, including light (pastel) colors.

The turbo Dork bi-color paints have a low glitter percentage (requiring multiple coats), so it should show the underlying pink with 1-2 coats.

Turbo Dork? Haven't heard of them, neat, I'll look into it.

Funny enough, I actually did just get some Vallejo metallic paints for a future project!

Such a fitting color scheme. You're doing great! :)
