Fire Elemental Daemon (Repost)
This is my version of Ral Partha's Fire Elemental Daemon, painted in October 2002. I found this and the Water version in a discount bin at Phoenix Games in Minneapolis, and I found the other two at New Wave's Gencon booth. The original figure has a 10mm/30mm base which has been rebased diagonally on a 40mm GW base. To disguise this, I added three separate flames sculpted out of green stuff around the original figure. I painted the skeletal parts first, primarily in Vallejo's Cork Brown -> Pale Sand -> White, with several washes of Cork Brown/GW brown Ink/Future Floor Polish/Water. This is my first time that I've tried painting fire. (Actually, I tried once before starting from blue -> white -> yellow -> orange, but it looked awful! Don't use blue, EVER!) These were painted in Vallejo's Yellow/White -> Flat Yellow -> Vermilion/Yellow mix (to make orange.) One thing that I did quite a bit was to wash the flames with a Flat Yellow/White/FFP/Water mix to make the recesses very bright. I also tried painting static grass for the first time on this one. I drybrushed the static grass around the flames with black and white to make it seem like the grass has been burnt by the flames. Any comments? Ways to improve?
