WIP https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/79372-shifting-sands-glitterwolf-paints-egyptian-undead/page/27/#comments Comments/likes/high praise and rotten tomatoes welcome. ************************************* South of the Undead infected Desert lies the Savannah and further South the Jungle. Ever vigilant of Slavers from Araby or Attacks from the Tomb Lord's Undead hordes, the Tribes keep an eye on their borders. Not all tribes are made of men though... Here we have a Rhino Warrior, a brave creature who will defend his territory and people with all he got. Unfortunate will be the adventurer who thinks this is a mere beastmen, these are no mindless creatures, cunning and well trained these warriors are capable of holding their ground against any invader. At least long enough for the rest of the tribe to come to their aid. **************************************

Finally I can reveal my entry for the 2. Quarterly Reaper Miniatures painting contest. I am very pleased with the results and even placed fourth. The competition was strong as per usual and very impressive freehands as well as glow effects made the top three stand out. Rhianna is based on Reaper Miniatures Avatar of Resilience. I changed quite a bit about the miniature to fit the urban fantasy theme: New weapons, including a scratch-build pump gun, pants, leather straps across the chest and more. I had lots of fun converting this mini and painting her was also a good, if challenging experience. Pink is not usually a colour I choose, but here it really works. I used Kimera Colours Magenta with a bit of The White as a base colour. That was crazy vibrant, so I desaturated it with some grey. For the shadows I mixed some Purple into the Magenta which really helped to make it pop. Finally, highlights were applied using a baby pink. I had trouble getting the right look for the Juicy logo, but ended up using metallics for it. Micro dots failed and had to be painted over again. The small labels and garbage were also a first. The labels are all freehands and distressed afterwards. The cigarettes are small styrene strips and the Pepsi can made from some aluminium foil. So a few questions to spark discussion: How do you go about sequin, glitter or fake 'crystals' on miniatures? What is your favourite recipe for pink?
