Bones 4 - Townsfolk: Cooper #147

[Lostraven]

Here is my most recent Townsfolk figure from the Bones 4 core set. He is also available in metal (SKU 03859). Two things I tried differently on this one were 1. no under-painting and 2. letting go. I usually apply an coat of German Camouflage Black-Brown over the whole figure to start when working with Bones. I know it has been shown many times that Bones are designed to go from blister to paint but I wanted to check it out for myself. I just went straight to the base colours, shading and highlighting with no issues.

 

The second was more difficult. This was me telling myself to trust myself and the figure and not overwork the paint. I had to remind myself to pull back when I started thinking, "maybe I should add another blend or work that edge some more..." At first it was a little uncomfortable but after awhile everything sort of fell into place and I am happy with the results.

Superb

[Rigel]

Excellent work; the stubble is beautifully done!

I love seeing "regular people" minis! You did a good job bringing it to life as well!

[Peithetairos]

Excellent work. The eyes have that sparkle that really brings the mini to life. 

 

I also enjoy the stubble and hairy arms. Great technique that I will try myself in some point. Do you just paint lines with an appropriate colour? 

 

The leather texture on his vest is also great. 

 

All in all a nice gritty miniature, a style I appreciate more and more and try to achieve myself at the moment.

Looks perfect to me! Love the wood and his stubble!

Great mutes worn colors - and really like the face (stubble, eyes) - this has a wonderful 'real' feel
