DSM8023, Fox Mage

[Metalchaos]

Hi everyone! This week, I completed DSM8023 the Fox Mage "Alchemist" from Dark Sword Miniatures, Critter Kingdoms - Anthropomorphic Animals. This 28mm pewter model was sculpted by Dave Summers. I painted him as a white arctic fox and used ink and acrylics for the OSL. Again, it was a fun model to paint, full of accessories and a lot of room to play with colors.

Great work as always.

 

I don't like the light effect, though. Might be my missing imagination, but I don't find the light fitting to the rest of the character.

 

Especially on the face it looks totally out of place and somehow wrong.

 

But that's just my opinion.

It might just be the erie green color ... I think the flame in hand came out great, it's glow dose seem to clash with the other colors ... over all, two tentacles up!

There is an edgy, non conformist component in your miniature !

I really like your color choices.

The feather is a surprise, and is that light blue overcast shadow from the flames.

I really  like what you did here.

I you don't have one, look it up on line, and understand how to utilize a color wheel.

It will give you harmonies, and contra-harmonies to play with, as you go about

painting you mini's.  Oh, nice brush control also !!!

I've really been digging all these, I just love how boldly your colors are turning out!

I like this one! The sculpt's face is a bit different - same sculptor as before? 

 

I think you got the OSL really well on the face and the shoulder - just a little too bright on his back though. 

 

Your color scheme makes me think that this fox wizard multiclassed in bard. He's so vibrant! He'd go and tell a bunch of stories and cast illusions to make a video to go with it

Thanks for your comments everyone.

It's not showing much but I've used tow tones of green for the osl reflection. I think the odd variation of comes from the fact it's a magical fire.

Inspired by @Cyradis Autumn Huntress, I was first going to paint the feather as a peacock feather but the realised it didn't have the appropriate shape, so I went for the colors of an exotic bird instead. Regardless of the green fire, the feather is pale green, yellow and red.

 

I often refer to the wheel of color. I also like to try different unorthodox color diagram even if it sometimes risky.

Yes, Davis Summers sculpted this model as well as all the other foxes I painted.

This is just wonderful

He is a WONDERFULLY  personable creation. Your brushwork & color choices are OUTSTANDING. I LOVE the light effect, which is something I don't normally care for. VERY WELL DONE!

[LarsM]

This is really great. 

I like the OSL, only as said before I think its a little too bright on his back. And I really like the bottle hanging at his shoulderbag! Very well painted!

Thanks for your kind word everyone, I'm really glad you like it. Hopefully, OSL is something I will have the pleasure to experiment more in the future. It's a challenging technique but I love the effect it creates.
