Painting Evil Dwarfs
The Warlord's Base
The base was quite a piece. There’s something very sinister about it. Were the figures just carved in or were they once living? I tried to give them a little focus by making their colour different to the rest of the rock. Rather like they were in the process of being petrified. The large head had a little Vallejo Basic Skintone mixed in.
My general approach was to give the base a desaturated look. I overbrushed most of the rock with some pale blues and shaded again with druchii violet. Where there were other colours like the trees I made sure they retained their desaturated look by mixing in some of the blue base.
The skulls were simply coloured with a bone white and then shaded to varying degrees with Agrax Earthshade.
