Brush With Death 2019 Entry
Adding Graffiti and Some OSL
The next part I wasn’t so sure about, but when my SO suggested I have the goblin doing a little sewer defacement, I knew I couldn’t resist trying. I set about adding a little colour to the diorama walls – if I didn’t like what came out, I could re-do the walls without much difficulty (albeit for an unexpected FOURTH time).
So far so good – not hating what I see. The process for graffiti was basically:
- Draw some things on paper
- Decide I hate them
- Ask my SO to draw some things on paper
- Begin with an outline, then fill them in with block colour
- Highlight toward the torch, shade further away
After finished the first wall, I decided to add the OSL from the torch. This was partly to keep colour balance in mind – I want it to look like a very yellowy light, which will affect which colours I pick for the graffiti and how I highlight it.
This was achieved by adding thin layers of Citadel’s Averland Sunset in a rough circle. I added multiple layers on the portions of wall closest to the torch, in order to increase colour saturation.
That’s about where I ended it Saturday evening. Sunday was spent adding more graffiti. You’ll see some portions come and go as I decide I don’t like them.
The last picture is where I ended on Sunday afternoon. I think I’ll change the pink colour used for the ‘UnderSide’ tag – I think the warm colour pulls too much away from the picture of the goblin.
