Popular Post Xiwo Xerase Posted April 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2020 This is 02060: Onastaa, sculpted by Sandra Garrity. The WIP thread is over here. As I said in the WIP thread: Quote Ever since the Reaper MSP Bones colors came out, I've wanted to do a mini using one of the blues as a basecoat. Now that time has come! First, the pictures: (click on the pictures for larger versions) The colors used were: (all Reaper paints) Skin: 09136 Walnut Brown, 09026 Violet Red, 09232 Bright Skin Shadow, 09068 Rosy Skin (midtone), 09688 Peppermint White, and 09061 Linen White Hair and staff: 09136 Walnut Brown, 09441 Ruddy Flesh, 09490 Bugbear Fur (midtone), 09075 Buckskin Pale, 09061 Linen White Robe: 09136 Walnut Brown, 09423 Styx Purple, 09419 Tropical Blue (midtone), 09078 Surf Aqua, 09061 Linen White Robe Trim: 09136 Walnut Brown, 09142 Stained Ivory, 09143 Yellowed Ivory (midtone), 09144 Creamy Ivory, 09061 Linen White Cloak: 09136 Walnut Brown, 09137 Blackened Brown, 09199 Russet Brown (midtone), 09200 Harvest Brown, 09201 Orange Brown, 09061 Linen White Staff and clasp NMM: 09136 Walnut Brown, 09138 Intense Brown, 09074 Palomino Gold (midtone), 09144 Creamy Ivory, 09061 Linen White, edged in 09039 Pure White Gems: 09136 Walnut Brown to 09039 Pure White, with various amounts of 09096 Clear Green mixed in. Lining and runes in robe trim: 09064 Brown Liner Credit where it's due: The core of her skin colors and using Surf Aqua to highlight the robe both came from Anne's Twitch streams for Reaper (the skin colors were from streams in December and I believe using Surf Aqua to highlight came from a stream in January or February). The colors for her hair and the gold NMM were matched against photo references (her hair colors were matched against a piece of art I purchased at the local anime convention years and years ago and a photograph in The Atlas of Beauty; the gold NMM colors were matched against a photograph of an Egyptian artifact covered in gold). The gold NMM didn't turn out well. It's a small area and I don't think it went deep enough into the shadows. I'm unhappy with the basing but I'm still trying to learn to deal with flocking sanely. I feel like it's the weakest point of the miniature. (Sure, the NMM failed, but it looks okay-ish as is. It's not metal but it looks fine. The flocking though...) Maybe I should focus on flocking/basing using simple tabletop paint jobs until I'm more comfortable with it. As always, constructive criticism and comments are welcome! I will not be doing any more work on this mini but I can always use advice for painting future minis. And I have another copy of her in my hoardcollection so I'll be painting her again in the future. 33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
