Model of the Month: Skink Starpriest

March 2022·p. 7

THE SHORT VERSION

James Wilson draws on the muted colours of a red-eyed crocodile skink to give his Starpriest a natural appearance. Sketched highlights and progressively refined glazing create a restrained non-metallic shine, balancing the subdued skin against small bright details.
