Hunting in the Darkness - KD:M
17 Apr 22: The Lonely Muse....
The final component of the Lonely Tree set is the Lonely Muse. Although it looks like a survivor, it is as much a part of the tree as the trunk.
Fair warning: some nudity ahead, but this is Kingdom Death, so it was going to happen eventually.
My plan was to use the colour to link it back to the tree. I used the same colours for the blues and reds as I did with the tree. I painted the lantern in the same manner.
Yikes… Looks rough…
My first attempt I wasn’t happy with. There was a particle of something that I hadn’t noticed when I’d primed. It’s right on the mouth. The skin has some elements I’m happy with, but overall, I wasn’t satisfied. Also, it looks like she had a bad night…
I decided to dip it in Dettol and start again.
25 Jul 22: Have you seen the ghost of the Tree?
I’ve worked on this and another KD mini over the last month between other minis. I feel that there is still progress to be made on my skills of painting skin. But this one is better than it was, and I’m happy to move on.
The colours used were:
- Vallejo Basic Skin tone
- Vallejo German Camo Medium Brown
- Vallejo Ivory
- Citadel Bugmans Glow
There was no particular recipe used. Just thinned glazes, the German Camo Brown and the Ivory were mixed in in small amounts to the Basic skin to create the shade and highlight respectively.
A small amount of the Bugmans Glow was mixed in to the Basic Skin with some Ivory for the redder skin areas.
