Neran the Scary ..second Place bump entry Wyrd Rotten Harvest
Well hopefully these pics are a bit clearer than the ones for the competition. Had a blast painting this. It was painted for the Recent Wyrd Rotten Harvest cometition and I was chuffed to receive second place in the things that go bump in the night cateory. Suffered a bit from photoing and this one still isn't a true reflection but a lot better (note to self don't take and edit photos for competitions at 3 in the morning....) Anyway I thought I'd try a few more techniques on this model than I usually do in particular the Model's cloak screamed out (excuse the pun) For some Freehand . The Faces Idea came from a recent request by supervike on the forums for ghostly faces that came around the time I was thinking of painting this guy. I also did some different shapes with the chequer designs a particular challenge was the Swirly set on the Hat. I used a wet blending technique after the freehand to give the colour gradation on the front and back of the cloak. The front doesn't have much freehand as I decided to quarter the colours on the Dolls and felt any additional freehand would make an already busy model just a bit too much. every colour on this model has purple in the mix something I find really help's to create a real atmosphere to the piece and tie very contrasting colours together nicely. A bit of weathering with multiplealmost water mixes of dark flesh on the blades and other metal areas finished him off nicely.. A big thanks to all who voted for him in the comp and the comments received.Hope you guysenjoy him and please let me know what you think.
