Capturing Old School D&D in a Statue
More Layers, Both Dark and Bright
Once the base coats were down on the thieves and statue I added washes and dark Contrast paints to the shadows while Lamenters Yellow Wash, Iyanden Yellow Contrast paint, and Vallejo’s Ice Yellow were used in the areas lit by “fire”. I tried to keep the thieves’ clothes as close to the source material as I could before cloaking them in shadow or light.
Neither the eyes nor the thieves are yet glued in place.
A tiny bit of Blu-Tak (stickie stuff for hanging posters) holds them in place so I can check the colors.
I really prefer the way the red gems look so must say it's almost done.
I did glue the top thief down before attaching the eyes as I had visions of me slipping and knocking off and losing the gem. Such a nice neat work space. No wonder I lose tiny objects.
