Wappelmania - The Demon Part 2
Hi everyone,
I just finished my demon for Silver Bayonet. As mentioned in the previous post, I painted this miniature in oils except for the axe and bell which were done in acrylics.
Unfortunately, due to my incompetence with a camera, a lot of the highlights on the back of the model were lost. I tried taking shots with different settings but the shot below was my best attempt!
Also, one of the drawbacks of oils is the shininess of the medium, as you can see in the pictures. This can easily be addressed with mat varnish, but I want to let the paint cure for a week before applying the varnish. The thing is I did not want to wait that long before posting the pictures!
Painted entiely in oils except for the axe and bell.
With my second attempt at oils, I am now convinced that this is the way to go and I will be expanding my oil paint range in the coming weeks.
The fun and relaxing nature of the medium has revitalized my love for miniature painting and there is no going back. As time goes by and I become more efficient in this medium I will paint more miniatures in oils until acrylics become the exception to my painting and not the norm.
For my next oil painting project, I will try to paint up the ghosts and spirits for TSB. This will be a new challenge from the darker colours I have used for the first two miniature.
Until then, stay safe and have fun.
