Hi guys,

This is the Temple of the Ancients, painted in dark bluish-green tones to fit with the dark and eerie statue of the Elder God. To paint this terrain I primed in black first, then did a zenith-angle prime of each part in white to create contrasting shadow areas. Once dry, each part was washed with a mix of dark blue and black ink with some matte medium, then drybrushed a bit with light gray. This was allowed to dry fully, then each part was given thin coats of a light gray paint, almost like a glaze, which created a lightening and contrast-reducing effect and reduced the harshness of the drybrushing. Edges were then painted with pure light gray and a light glaze of blue and black added a bit more color on some places and tie everything together. Cracks, dings and other details were highlighted with light gray. Hope you all like it.
