These have been on the to-do list for far too long now, so it's time to get our ghostly, menacing, skulls-and-fire chaps finished. Here's the latest one:

...and here's the two currently completed minis, pictured together:
That's two down, three to go.
A quick note on the painting of these chaps - I want the black to be muted and subtle, so I've kept the highlighting very low-key. It's actually zenithal highlighting done with the airbrush, with dark greys, and without any extra edge-highlights added.

I love pigment pens. So glad I bought one. They look great!
ReplyDeleteHandy, aren't they? - I use it all the time for lettering as it's a little easier than the brush. Strangely, mine says "water and fade proof" on it, but when I tried to use it to draw the outline for some freehand work, I found that when I started to paint in the colours over the top, the black ink ran into the fresh paint a bit and caused problems. Maybe I'm just not leaving it long enough to dry... No patience.
