Thanks for the kind words Der Flatermouse! I painted it with hobby store acrylics, they seemed to work okay. I washed the obelix, painted it with white acrylic, next a wash of thinned torquoise over the runes. If I had to do it again I would have done a dark wash over the runes then dry brushed the stone with lighter shades of grey.In the end I had to go back and paint the runes in one at a time. The bronze on the cephalopod was done by a mix dark olive and dark copper with sea foam green for verdigris.
