Tried something different with this Fire Elemental over the weekend.  I had already painted this fig in the traditional red/yellow/smokey colors earlier and had a blast with it, so I decided to give it another shot.  I thought purple would be neat, so I just ran with it.  Being a native Minnesotan, I'll be calling this The Prince Elemental after The Purple One.  I'm super happy with how it turned out, and I'm looking forward to unleashing this funky elemental on a party in need of some soul.  Comments and critiques are welcome as always, thanks in advance!

Howdy,
 
  Sh!t's on fire, yo!...

  Bones rats and translucents...

My elementals.  I'm going to need to redo a few pics for inspiration gallery submission, but good for now. These have only been cropped, unlike most of my pics.
WIP

So I decided to do some elementals real quick. I gave them base coat of matte medium - primer for earth, because base coat.

Then I attempted the yellow-ning. First it looked good, so I tried to add a little more, mixed with orange tint, and ugh.


I think I'd recommend doing outsides red, and then use a yellow ink w/medium as "dry" brush to pick out details. It won't look right, but a lot of the translucents really seem to be table ready.
