Outcasts – Sculpting some fire

Sculpting has been something on my “todo” list for a while, but it’s been very hard to up and just do it. I’ve had some opportunities recently to try some simple stuff, so here’s some more. I’m trying to sculpt a fireball impacting on Killjoys chest.

I started by just mushing a thick misshapen cylinder of putty onto his chest. The idea is that it’ll look like a fireball that’s being shot by the Fire Gamin, so I have to ensure that the angle looks reasonable and that the size of it is similar to the one that’s coming out of the Fire Gamin‘s hands. I left that overnight.

The next morning I pulled little pieces of putty apart and rolled them into snakes that were roughly long enough to go entirely around the cylinder on his chest. I’m aware that this first photo looks phallic.

After I’d sufficiently mushed the putty around the cylinder, I took a pair of tweezers and pulled the putty back away from his torso. The fireball is travelling towards Killjoy, and so the wind against it will push the flames backwards. I did this 5 times, to cover the entire cylinder with flames.

At the end I took a bit of putty and mushed it onto the end of the cylinder, then pulled it away. This pulled the new putty off a few times, and tore it in places, but the end result was what I had wanted – a bit of a wisp of flame at the tail of the fireball!

Arcanists – Gunsmith – Basecoat

I was trying to somewhat copy the paint scheme done here. Unfortunately, as you scroll down that thread you see that this person did an amazing basing job on her and I’m totally jealous and should have looked further before I started. Instead I have my standard Arcanist basing.

I mixed Vomit Brown and Blazing Orange together to paint her jumpsuit. I was trying for something bright, a little orangey but still brown. I think I succeeded, but the real trick is going to be the shading and highlighting business. Her jacket was simply Codex Grey and all the straps and her hair were Mournfang Brown.

Arcanists – Fire Gamin – Basecoat

This is the first of a many-many-many part series for a diorama I worked on for the Wyrd Summer Painting Contest. It was an anonymous contest, so I was asked to wait until after the voting had finished to post my work. Hold onto your hats!

This guy was super simple… just a few cogs, some Arcanist basing and some Sunburst Yellow. Whee….
