The Lurking Wyrm

January 2022·pp. 64–67

Painting Question: Howling Griffons

The studio explains the red and yellow quarters of Robin’s Howling Griffons. Controlled shading preserves the strength of both bright colours, while successive highlights define armour edges and help the Chapter’s complex heraldic scheme remain clear across a complete miniature.
