FitzBones: Monochrom(ish) Wraith Thing

89031: Whispering Tyrant by Bobby Jackson

 

From time to time, when I need a very quick miniature that doesn't look completely unpainted, I'll pump out something along these lines.

This has been primed black, and then had a zenithal spray of white applied to give me some very fast basic modelling shading and highlights. Then I've added some washes in various colours — mossy khaki green, sepia, and ochre to emphasise the detail and add just a suggestion of colour, with a touch of dry-brushing in bone-white to pull out the highlights some more.

It's very fast, and at the end of it I have something that looks more like a little statuette than a raw unpainted gaming miniature. It's something I wouldn't be embarrassed to put on the table, and for spooky, ghostly things like this particular figure, it can probably just stay like this forever. However, for other sorts of miniatures, this state can later act as underpainting for a more finished paint-job.

Very nice and very wraith-like.  It would certainly be able to lurk in the shadows nearly unseen.

Very nice!

Ghastly, spectral, diaphanous and unheimlich! Well done indeed.

Now that is a way I have not seen that painted yet, awesome. :)!
