The Ancient Kin - An Elf Project
Red Vanielle - The Dark Beloved
The next Dark Elf up is Red Vanielle – The Dark Beloved. The mini is an Elf Assassin from Red Box Games If you don’t know them, they do true scale 28mm minis, definitely check them out!
I had started this mini before the Witch Elves, but then wasn’t sure how to proceed on the skin. Hence the Dark Elves previously done ?
Red Vanielle
Where we start...
The skin at this stage:
- White Spray primer
- GW Codex Grey
- GW Hybrid Purple Ink (really old!)
28 Dec 18: Leg Day
I started work on the skin tone… but only on the legs for some reason. I’m not really sure what I’m thinking, I’m never confident enough that I can replicate the exact same effect later. This usually isn’t a problem across multiple minis, but if I end up with diffferent colours across one mini… ?
Glazing with a mix of:
- Codex Grey
- Hybrid Purple Ink
- Shadow Black Ink (just a touch)
in order to build shadow.
Then highlighting with
- Codex Grey
- GW Bleached Bone
The mix is about 3:1 but adjusted on the fly…
