Spring Clean Hobby Challenge 2022 - Assorted Projects
This was the first piece I started with the Lost Kingdom miniatures Queen of the Lake.
Image 5 shows flesh applied to the translucent areas of the cloth and the face is nearly finished at this stage. The rest of the cloth is currently no more than a sketch stage. Many different highlights were applied to the cloth and lace details were done using the side rather than the tip of the brush. Numerous white ink glazes were then used to blend the flesh and cloth together to get more of a seamless effect.
The ‘horse’ was painted using Space Wolves Grey contrast paint thinned with water and Matt medium as a base coat. Further highlights and shading were then applied. Elysian Green was used for the horse’s mane and tail. This was then washed again with Space Wolves Grey contrast before further highlights were applied.
The water was painted using Wargames Foundry French Blue Triad highlighted all the way up to white. The dripping water effects were created using fishing line and resin.
Juan Hidalgo offered detailed advice for me on my work. I added more glazes to the cloth, altered the light effect on the gem on the sword, accentuated the highlights of the musculature on the horse and added more resin dripping effects. This can be seen on the last photograph.
All the projects are amazing, but the Queen of the lake is especially fantastic. The translucent areas of the cloth is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. ?
Thanks very much Andy!
