Popular Post Grumpy Cave Bear Posted February 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) A trio of undead from Reaper's Bones II Kickstarter: I took my time on painting these guys (gals?), and boy did they turn out fun! I went for a more cartoonish style than I usually do, hitting them with bright colors and edge highlighting everywhere. It seems to fit their chunky style very well. The free-hand on the shield came from an internet search of shield designs. That design was near the top of the search results, so I simplified it for the mini. I was going to add corrosion to their weapons, but gave up on the idea as soon as I saw how well they looked without it. These skellies might be some of the oldest minis on my Shelf of Shame. When I pulled them down to repaint them, I couldn't find any detail to paint. I stripped the paint off them and the reason why became apparent -- there were at least 3 different layers of color on each of them from previous attempts. These three bring the number of minis I painted this year to 16 -- and I've nearly cleared an entire row from my shelf of shame.

Darcstaar Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Congratulations! They look great. They could easily fit in WOW. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat13 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 These look great, I especially like how you did their eyes. I've got some undead coming up soon in my current project so I just might swing back here for "inspiration". Great job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I glazed 09006 Fire Orange in the sockets, then (with a fine brush and steady hand) barely dotted them with 09671 Golden Glow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 They look really great! I particularly like the edging on the armor of the two to the left - it really pops and they must look great on the table. The glowing eyes look amazing as well. The design on the shield shows up in some rune stones, but despite the fact that some people think it's a religious symbol (they call it a "valknot" or "knot of the battle-slain") no one has any clue what it really means. It looks great! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
