Darkstar Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Been awhile, but got some time to paint up some Reaper minis finally, this was a fun one, really nice smooth lines and plenty of cloth folds to work with. Really difficult to photgraph this one, have never had such difficulty actually. I finally got a good shot that showed the subtle transition between fleshtones and cloth well enough I guess. Better in RL for certain. The colors are really just pastels, fading from dark purple to shadow grey with pure white added for highlighting, using pale flesh for the base flesh tone and highlighting with pure white, which I hardly ever do. Starting really light and working to pure white. Gotta try more of that technique, I like the effect. I added more Flow Improver than usual to keep the chalky effect at bay while working with so much white, the Dul-Cote wasn't completely done drying when I took the phot I think, looks like a little shiny shiny at the bottom fringe still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkstar Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 Wow, you're either up late or really early KC. Thanks man. Been really appreciative of your latest works as well, so much improvement in the last year, not like you were bad or anything before, but your skills are definately showing a honedness. There's more to come from me this week, 3 more new Reaper figs, one almost done, two in primer to be done by Sunday so stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
