Bonewhite was used to highlight the bandages on the feet, stomache and chin (I had already done this on the arms, but realized
I missed it here).
I was also concerned that the skin was too 'bright'. I tried a thin wash, but it didn't help. Then I put a very very light
drybrush of sombre grey on the skin - and this helped to dull down the brightness a bit.
|
|
| |
I didn't like the band-aids either - too bright. So I re-did them in elf skintone, and then a highlight of pale flesh, and
I think the look better. Citadel vomit brown on the doll head hanging off the belt, and bloody red on the tongue.
|
|
| |
A 3-2 mix of hawk turquoise to white was used as a highlight on the doll skull cap and the cape. At this point I also did
some touchups on the skin, using a 1-1 sombre grey and electric blue mix. I used parasite brown to highlight the collar end
belt edges, and a 1-1 mix of cobra leather and plague brown for the dolls right arm.
|
|
| |
I then used this mix and combined an equal amount of parasite brown to do the right leg and left arm of the two dolls. Scar
red was used as a highlight of the heart, left arm and right leg. I was having a real hard time thinking of a good highlight
for the skirt, then I hit upon 1-1 mix with kommando khaki - I used this on the skirt and the hump, and especially the worn
areas of the skirt.
|
|
| |
I used a 6-1 mix of catachan green to white to highlight the patch on the skirt. And I did a black wash over the bandaids.
Then I started on the eyes. It took several tries to mix a shade I liked, but finally a 1-1 black to magic blue mix worked
for the iris.
|
|
| |
Then I used straight magic blue to add some lines to the eye since eye colors are not solid.
|
|
| |
Then a circle of black for the pupil.
|
|
| |
Bloody red was used to draw the lines to make them bloodshot. For the two 'good' eyes I then put on a gloss clear coat.
On the right eye, I wanted to make this with a cataract, so I used a thin wash (4-1 water) of bonewhite. This will require
several more coats yet to get the full effect (I just want to be able to see the color within the bad eye) (and yes, I did
not want them looking in the same direction.)
|
|
| |
I used a mix of parasite brown and scar red on the beards, then a final highlight of parasite brown. I added a few more coats
of the thin bonewhite wash to the right eye. The other 'good' eyes got a dot of skull white in the corner of the pupil.
|
|
| |
Mithril silver was used as final hightlight to the metal pieces on the belt. Rotting flesh was used on the jawplate of the
doll head. Elf skintones were added to the bandaids.
|
|
| |
At this point, I don't have much left to do (that I know of). I want to add a bit of a glow from the lantern on his left
leg (and maybe extend it a little to his right knee and the staff).
|
|
| |
Opinions are not only welcome, but currently encouraged. I would really like to know what the people who have been following
this think needs more work.
|
|
| |
Final touchups. To give the muscles on the back and arms a bit more definition, I added some shading using a 2-1 vallejo
magic blue to hot orange mix.
|
|
| |
To give some glow to the lantern, I used a very thin (3-1) layer of citadel hot orange on his left leg and foot, as well as
a little on his right knee and the staff. Then a 3-1 layer of sunburst yellow.
|
|
| |
The doll cape required a touch up of 3-2 white to falcon turquoise
|
|
| |
The heart needed a touchup of citadel red gore.
|
|
| |
To give some definition to the veins in the hands, I first tried a bit of blue, then purple. I didn't like either.
|
|
| |
So I used blood red instead. Then I did a light dusting of 3-1 electric blue to sombre grey over the hands again.
|
|
| |
I realized that the bandages were actually only modelled on the front of the feet - the heels were bare. So these were re-painted
as skin using the previous techniques (there is something to be said for documenting every step!)
|
|
| |
I then attached the chain, after giving it a wash of dark angels green. I changed the metal on the links attaching the chain
to more match the chain, using the citadel dwarf bronze, then a dark angels green wash, then a very highlight of mithril silver.

A close up of his face.

|
| |
And one of the canopic doll.
|
|
| |
And the full figure. One more thing is needed - I want to get a name plate for the base - that will take a bit of time to
find a local place to make one.
