Outcasts – Death Marshals – Final

Posted on June 16, 2014

I painted a couple layers of SW Heavy Body Black on their cloaks after the last session. Then took straight Codex Grey and watered it way down and painted that on the edges. I wiped away some of the paint with my finger when it got to built up, my goal was to use it in a “feathering” manner away from the edges, and leave it pretty bright on the actual edges.

Then I went back for the glowing bits. These were Warpstone Green mixed up with White in successive drybrushed layers. I realized that one of the guys didn’t have nearly enough flames on him, so I painted part of his coffin, trying to make it look like there was a green glowy fire inside his box.

I added the leaves after a week or so, after they arrived in the mail from Secret Weapon. This product is brilliant – it instantly spruced up my cobblestone so that it looked a lot less painted and a lot more awesome.

I’m still having some serious trouble with the SW washes, in that they are leaving things very shiny. I’m not certain what is causing the shine, and I can’t seem to get rid of it effectively with dullcoat or matte medium, so I’m going to have to experiment with how I use the washes.

Unfortunately, my summer so far has had a lot less time for painting – if you’re a regular reader you’ll have noticed posts every 3 days until just now – this post is the first since Adepticon that hasn’t been scheduled. 😛

Outcasts – Kinda – Death Marshals

Posted on June 8, 2014

Tara wants Death Marshals, so here they are!

I painted the coffin Vomit Brown, then mixed with Ushapti up. Then SW Flesh Wash all over and SW Amethyst in the shadows. I’ve done a few layers of the Amethyst in the shadows. I also painted a few thin lines of Mournfang Brown along the grain of the wood to give it a little depth amongst the wood paneling. I may do some lighter colours in a similar pattern later, after I’ve finished with the Amethyst and the Marshal himself, to cover up any mistakes.

My hope is to make the Marshal himself be somewhat monochrome, so I’ve painted the same basecoat all over him. I started with Snakebite Leather mixed with Codex Grey. I did SW Heavy Body Black all over and then mixed that with Codex Grey and painted that on the raised areas. We’ll see where this goes!
