Popular Post Doug Sundseth Posted May 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2019 There has been some discussion about Bones translucent figures recently, so I thought I would show off a few pieces that I finished recently. The first ones are invisible adventurers from Bones 3 (I bought two sets): Wizard 1: Wizard 2: Rogue: Primed with airbrushed acrylic gloss medium. Mostly painted with Badger Ghost Tints. Some more intense details with Sharpie (use isopropyl alcohol if you need to remove the ink). Faces defined a bit with opaque Reaper skin tones. 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruleBear Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Cool. I like that you “painted” them with the tints rather than just adding contrast to the basic clear plastic color. It gives the impression of the character transitioning to invisible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes them easier to see on camera as well (for when somebody is attending a game in hangouts). Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vhaidra Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 This translucent sculpts are pretty cool and you did a good job here. By the way good photos and light settings for the photos. Very intresting. I guess my favorite is the first one, the purple one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For lighting, I used a light behind and about 20cm/8in behind the figure, a light to camera right, maybe 8cm/3in away and a bit in front (to show the opaques - this one is just out of frame of the photo), and a piece of black craft foam just below the rear light for the background. With a carefully chosen camera angle and a long-ish lens to reduce the field of view, the lights were all out of sight in the final photos.

Mutilatedlips Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 1st one is definitely my fav, but the rest are very interesting to look at too. I always like what people do with these translucent minis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
