Popular Post Doug Sundseth Posted November 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) Another Bones figure. I'm not entirely sure where the color scheme came from. I just started and it kind of grew. This is a very annoying figure to paint. The hat brim is very wide and there's detail under it that is almost impossible to get to. The same is true of the beard. But the semi-random color scheme turned into something way outside what I usually paint, but in a good way. Bones are great for experiments, because I don't feel like I have to obsess about every detail like I would for a competition piece. And I think my quality is going up as a result.

Iridil Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Sometimes the best color schemes do themselves - this really works (green, fuschia) and is unexpected! Its a great contrast to the grey beard - well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 The greens this time were almost entirely from the Scale 75 Orcs and Goblins set. The more I work with their paint, the more I like it, but I don't think I would use it at all without a vortex mixer. It separates quickly and takes a lot of shaking to get it back to the right consistency. When you do that, it's brilliant, though. The magenta/pink/fuchsia base color was Quinacridone Magenta (Golden Fluid Acrylics) in some places and RMS Clear Magenta in others. (The Golden is gloss, which is a bit annoying to work with, though highly saturated, but the RMS paint is the same pigment and essentially a direct replacement in matte.) This guy was the one that I had intended to paint in red and purple when I mistakenly picked up and started base coating Darkrasp. Now I'm kind of happy I made that mistake, since I think both figures are better with these schemes than with what I had intended. Thank you all for the kind comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
