Popular Post Shpam Posted July 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone! I picked this mini some time ago to incarnate an infamous Elf pirate who’s called “Fisher” in my DnD campaign. With that nickname, I thought he could use some hooks, so I tried to mod the mini by adding some chains and hooks. The chains are from the chains weapon pack, the hooks are bits of paper clips bent and filed, and I sculpted the joining parts. It’s the first time I try to convert a mini, and I’m happy with the results. He wears his red mask because his true identity is one of my player characters’ lost brother. I put him on a larger base because he’s a little unstable by itself (even without the chains). I should probably have taken off the whole metal base before pinning it to the new plastic one but I was anxious as I never did it before. I’ll try next time. :) I struggled with the black hair, that’s the most okay-ish I managed to do. It’s a great sculpt, I had great fun painting it. I hope you like him. :) Edited July 18, 2020 by Shpam Shameful typo in the mini's name 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkwing Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I love the chains. They feel like they are flowing out of him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took me way more time than I expected, it was so long shaping these tiny bits of paperclips the right way. And as the chain is pretty thin as well, I couldn’t pin them to it so I just filed away half the last link and half the bottom of the hook, so they would look aligned after the copper-looking greenstuff transition part would be done.

Peithetairos Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Very cool conversion. Love the chains and hooks, the war paint and the overall colour scheme. The more subdued tones are nicely complemented by the red of the garment. I would suggest to focus on contrast and smoothness of blends in the future, as well as adding accent colours to emphasise focal points. Contrast you can enhance through deeper shadows and brighter highlights. The blends you can work on even after you pre-painted a simple transition: Just make a glaze of a mid-tone and feather over the transition point / edge. In terms of accent colours: On this mini it would be interesting to use a different colour for the face paint. Maybe a purple, teal or jade green. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
