Shiver Patrol
Dave Allsop's Shiver Concept ArtSo with Star Grave coming up I decided to take a look at two sets of Shivers by Nightfall Games for SLA Industries. I got a set of metals and resins because I wanted to see the difference when Daruma existed and were making them.
I had thought about using them for Enforcers in Deadzone, and in fact Dave also did Enforcer art work for Mantic and they’re so Shiver-like that I thought for a moment that he had drew the original concepts.
Aaaaaaaaaany way, long story short I cleaned up the 21 I had into 4 squads plus coffee drinking captain.
I want to go for quick but at the same time I also wanted to try out oil paints for more than pin washes and tints.
So I started with zenithal highlight and then yellow ink sprayed from above while I used crismon ink from below to give some contrast to the shaded areas, before mixing up a light olive green and blending that over the top.
while it was still slick I then mixed a umber and ochre to get the brown boots and calves as per the pictures.
These went together super fast for tests and I think the next 15 will be as fast as these initial tests before going back to work on the metallics.
SLA: I’ve got the books on my shelf, but I never managed to snag any of the minis. It seems that I’ve missed out on some cool minis.
As always, great work!
