01601 - Reaper Miniatures 25th Anniversary Domur, High Mage

[TheOldGuard 4170]

Greetings!

 

Presenting Reaper's February 25th Anniversary miniature - Domur, High Mage.

 

I got sidelined by a multiple dragon project recently so I'm a little bit behind with my 25th Anniversary figures project but I'm getting back on track now. I opted out of doing OSL on the spell effect & decided on something gaseous & non photonic (at least, that's the excuse I'm sticking to! ). I wanted to have the spell effect go through a distinctive colour change so I came up with a counjouring technique to explain it;

First, Domur reads from the book, this causes a white inert harmless spirit to appear from the pages of the book. Then, as the spirit wafts closer to the magic crystal in Domur's staff, it takes in it's massive power (& colour) & becomes weaponised.........

 

I used metallic blue paint to highlight the inner lining of the cape for an extra touch of wizardly oppulence. Finally, I've managed to sneak my favourite purple into the book cover - I'll be "shoehorning" this colour into all my Reaper 25th anniversary minis as a form of unification.

Thanks Guys!

 

I'm very happy with the spell effect, I don't tend paint a lot of pink but this seems to work well with the blues.
