shimmering gold over base colors. Makes really nice shine while letting through the previous coloration :D

I did not want him strictly gold. which gold color would do. So I opted for the "shimmering" paint which essentially means that the pigmnents only show up under certain angles. in this cae gold. For that the base needed to be prepainted and color structures as I wanted.

Also it's worth noting that shimmering pigments show up almost like normal paint on black and dark background. On while or light background it's nearly unseen until it reflects light  and the reflected part is the color of the shimmer pigment.
in this case it worked great :)

This golden bird must have it's own treasure! yes i made noodles and turned them in to coins :D

I  have in the past experienced what it means to try and make a ton of coins cur from paper ... not doing that ever again. just cutting slices from noodles is perfectly fine QuQ

Doing stuff! Wings are fun to do ^^

So the idea here was a golden bird that guards the treasure. Kinda took thunderbird from harry potter as an inspiration for this one cause I really loved the golden shimmer on the feather and wanted to make something similar :)
