Recent Brushwork

Trying to change my palette if not my technique to achieve a different look on my minis. I read a ‘How To Paint Military Miniatures’ book ages ago, and settled on the ink wash/Shade Down method rather than the Highlight Up all the cool kids do nowadays.

Whippersnappers! Back in my day, a real painter had messy fingers from all the run-off.

40 years on, I still don’t have an airbrush. Maybe someday. But until then, here are several new figs from the painting desk.

Trying for that Arabian theme.

A Kev White sculpt according to Reaper. I like that he’s tough but normal looking.

Great fig. Very subtle. The pic doesn’t quite show it but I went for a weathered duster feel to his cloak and jacket.

Nothing really special about these four – except they’re a bunch of Do-Gooder, Avenging Paladin-types. (Sounds like a 90’s Christian metal band) There’s a fifth member of the band on the way.
DSCF2734
Brightening up a Thief defeats the purpose, but his gray clothes and lighter tone than usual armor works nice.
DSCF2735
“I told you what would happen if you got up.”
DSCF2737
Iconic Investigator investigating a mysterious rune stone. (Or a new FB Profile picture)
