Arcanists – Kaeris, basecoat

As with the Arcane Effigy (which I didn’t end up using…), I wanted to put some colour onto Kaeris before my game.

Instead of creating my own colour scheme, I’ve been using Google Image search…here’s my inspiration this time. I want her cloak to be a little more grey to link up with my gunsmiths, but it’ll be a little more blue by the time I’m done.

It’s codex grey on her cloak, snakebite leather as the brown, burnished gold (that’s important – there are a few golds in the GW line) wings, runefang steel for the metallic grey, and the P3 skin paint and I bought something called moon yellow from Vallejo because I was in a hobby shop and was out of yellow. We’ll see how the Vallejo paint works out for me.

I didn’t write anything about it at the time, and have long since forgotten what I did, but I’m pretty stoked about the base. It’s using my new plan of using a variety of glazes on top of a base colour, and then going back again with a top layer (in this case, a brown) to unify the colours. As well, I made sure to pay attention to where her shadows would fall from above, so there is a much darker section under her.

First time playing with Kaeris this weekend, hoping she’s amazing!
