The last one to be presented traditionally is Count Noctilus’ flag ship, the Bloody Reaver.
I wonder what the concept sketches for this one looked like before it ended up being a castle atop a mountain on a skull island on top of ship wrecks, all topped off with a lot of sails. And huge ribs and rock blades.
Either way, it looks bloody cool and like a fitting flag ship for the main baddie. The freehand on the auxiliary cog was a bit of a pain, but worked out in the end. I went with exactly the same colour scheme as I did on prior Bloody Reavers I painted. It just works for me.
Hope you like it equally!

Thanks a lot, we appreciate any help to continue and grow Tale of Painters 🙂
How do you blend the sails? Airbrush, wet blending or layering?
Well, it's all layering, isn't it. 🙂 Because you paint in layers. I don't think that 'layering' is a 'technique' (as few as there actually are. It almost seems at time that 50% of 'techniues' presented are just regular painting with a weird label stuck on, but that's just me).
Anyway, I used mah airbrush followed by some highlighting and shading by hand. 🙂
I love the concept behind this too.
The sails look amazing, such smooth blending, what purples did you use?

Yeah, Probably lots of black magic involved to get this thing to move and function. 😀
I used some Warlock Purple, black and white. I think some purple wash or warlock purple as a glaze too.
Thank you, it's such an intense, eye catching colour.
