Hellboy & things that go bump in the night
Crypt Spirits
Our next completed thing is a trio of Crypt Spirits! Again taking my lead from the comics I decided to try a very limited palette for a very pale look. I wanted enough variety in colours to bring out the details of the sculpt, but stick close to the whiteness of the comic.
I did consider ‘uplighting’ them with a green glow but once I got this far I wasn’t sure they actually needed it.
The dresses are Ivory white shaded with a little Stonewall Grey mixed in. The skin is Elfic Flesh washed with sepia then re-touched with Elfic Flesh again. For the hair I used Stonewall Grey again, washed with Drakenhoff Nightshade (blue to you and I) and highlighted backup with… Stonewall Grey!
There was also a little bit of nuln oil used around the neckline of the dress and for the mouth.
