Rock Textures with the Terrain Tutor

95 Comments

We stop in with Mel, the Terrain Tutor and find out how he's approaching doing some rocky techniques on his Golem for RuneWars.

We will be stopping back in with him over the weekend to find out how the rest of his collection has come to life too.

I’m sure that’s gonna work well. Hope there’s some good shots of it when it’s done.

Love it. Mel does a great job on terrain and its nice to see him using those techniques on mini’s.

It does make sense to treat a golem as terrain for painting purposes. I hope that he will put som grass and grovel on the model as well.

Mel! I forgot he was coming. He always seems to approach things very differently than most people. I think that makes his content so valuable. You can always learn lots of new things. I look forward to see what he can do on that rock golem dude.

I think most of us approach a mini in roughly the same way, ie prime>base>shade>layer/highlight with an occasional variation to suit the model or hobbyist’s style. So I always find it refreshing, and inspiring, to see someone try something outside that norm. I’m very much looking forward to seeing how this turns out

I almost picked up a VIG swag bag at Adepticon just for this game, looks great.

I love this model. I want to find uses for him in other games! Frostgrave perhaps.

It’d look good with an ice and snow theme, for sure.

I like this approach from Mel and I’m wondering if this would be a good way to style the Anatres Boromites?

Stippling with a sponge is genius, years of painting and I haven’t used that technique on a miniature! Yet..

Go Mel, if it doesn’t work out hit the new tones they mixed up 🙂 Somehow I am sure that once you get to the grit stage all will be well.

Wauw, so great to see Mel at the weekend 🙂

That makes so much sense and is so obvious! How did I not think of that? Of course there is very little in the world that is actually white and if you walk through a kitchen outlet you will see all the slabs of surfaces you can get and this will show the colors that can be done. Now I need to watch HGTV and BoW.
