Draconis Does… Sci-Fi skirmish, The Adventures of the Drifter’s Luck
Asterion Thorn, Space Minotaur
19th August 2026
Also designed in Eldritch Foundry, he is a little larger than normal human sized. I started out by painting all the armour with flesh tearer contrast… then went on to paint Layla and PK Bot 😊
I gave the red armour a series of light drybrushes with Mephiston and then Evil Sunz.
The final stage was just on the high points and had orange added. I then painted in the undersuit in rubber black and the flesh in a mid earthy brown.
After a review I decided to also paint the calves rubber black and the hip armour plates in a blacker black 😊. The black was edge highlighted in places, drybrushed in others.
I painted the gun in a dark grey for the casing and dark metal for the rest. It was given a blue glow in the barrel and green glow on the sights.
I also added some orange stripes by masking off as best I could.
There were some small armour plate details on the arms that I wanted to pick out. Initially I tried blue, but then went with black, highlighted up as per the other black parts.
The flesh was lightly drybrushed, then washed and given a final light drybrush. The tail was stippled with a darker brown on top, lighter underneath. Then some small dark spots were added near the end.
I picked out the central part of the face mask in blue, highlighted up the edges in two stages (not that you can see) and dotted in some black then orange for the eyes.
