Dark Souls - The Board Game
Iron Keep Expansion - Part III
The final model from the Iron Keep is the Smelter Demon….
Smelter Demon
This guy is just huge and really beefy to boot. He also has a sphincter for a face!
Much like a Balrog or Avatar of the Bloody Handed God, the Smelter Demon has a molten core, cooling to a blackened surface. I have never painted this effect before and have to say I really enjoyed the challenge.
I primed the model with a satin white before using my airbrush to blend from white at the deepest points, to yellow, through orange and finally to red. This was done with GW Sigismund Yellow Clear and Mephiston Red Air.
Once the ‘heat’ colouring was completed, I worked over the hard surface areas with Contrast Black Templar. I used successive layers, thinned with medium to darken the points furthest from the heat. I finished this model with a coat of Vallejo Gloss Varnish, thinned and applied through the airbrush. My intention was to add a slight glisten to the surface that would add to the molten lava effect.
congratulations @graystoak fabulous work on the figures.
Thanks @zorg. I’m glad you like them ??
Yes the paintwork shows up the figures well.
