Grave Wraith - Reaper 77097

[Joshinminn]

I ordered the new wraiths that were just released that were part of the Bones 4 KS. I thought they were going to be opaque (that's how they were first posted), and was bummed when they arrived as translucent. Mostly because I have never painted a translucent before. So I ordered up a couple other green guys to try out some technique.

 

After botching up the Spirit figure with AP green quickshade, I moved on to this Grave Wraith. I used Muddy Brown on the ground, Mountain Stone on the gravestone and Bronze Dragon on the sword. I liberally used AP strong quickshade as a base on the wraith, and then highlighted with the Green Clear Bright. I think it looks pretty good. Any suggestions or comments welcome. I really want a creepy Nazgul look on my B4 wraiths, and this turned out better than I thought it might.

I haven't tried it (yet) myself, but the word is that the translucent paint up very like the opaque.  Just drop some liner on there, and it'll be opaque enough!

 

But there's nothing wrong with pushing your skill set, either.

It looks good.  If you want opaque, just use opaque paint.  As Strawhat said, they paint up normally.
