last of the three Horrorclix repaints I've done in that one batch. This one is a bit more converted and fully repainted. It is a conversion of Gypsy seer (not my image). I have cut his headgear, sculpted a hood, done some work on his sleeves (at hands, they're more loose now) and I've covered tassels on the scarf he had around his body.
In Strange Aeons, I will use him as a "high priest", generic wizard, or as the King in Yellow when I'll play that specific scenario (the King can only be summoned in one particular scenario that needs special props). I must say I really like this miniature, especially the two accompanying spirits. Yellow worked quite well. I was thinking I should paint that scarf in some other color for some contrast, but I really liked that yellow, so I've kept it :P. I have painted some mud on the edge of the cloak, but it didn't really work too well.

All this tampering with the "Elder Gods" and "Outer Gods" will not end well you have been warned!
ReplyDeleteHe looks good mate Nice one!
Well, I'm reading the books already, so I think there is no saving for me Iä! Iä!
DeleteAnd thanks :P
Nice. Yellow is a couple I really strugle with si I am very impressed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, took me quite some coats, hehe. I really like yellows, but it is a nightmare to work with.
DeleteThe yellow looks good. If you are having trouble with mud on the cloak, try some weathering powders? It is really easy to apply some and fix it with white spirit. This will give you quite a nice dusty effect. The other option that I've tried is more washes of Devlan mud so that it builds up stains
ReplyDeleteI only have black powder, so it isn't most useful. I have never used it as I didn't knew how to fix it...white spirit, you say? As in alcohol?
DeleteWashes are probably the simplest options, very obvious, thanks for the tip!
Yes, white spirit is the alcohol you use to clean non-water based paint off brushes. the other option is a couple of light coats of varnish, sprayed on gently so as to not disturb the dust. This wort of creates a layer over the top that seals it in.
DeleteI'll dig out my notes and write up a little tutorial at some point
Cheers, and tutorials would surely come in handy, I quite like your work!
DeleteThanks!
DeleteLooking spooky mate, well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate!
DeleteGood rendition of a very difficult subject.
ReplyDeleteThe mystical mists intrigue me - were they part of the figure ?
Yup, you can see the original figure on the link. They are great idea and really add it to the character. I've washed them with a diluted purple paint (as purple shows on the place where they're glued to the miniature that was purple itself :P)...but it didn't really work too good :D
