Tha Flame Mage (aka Sir Malcolm, Lightbringer)
This was an odd method of painting for me. Normally I plow right through a figure (or group of similiar figures) until I get it completed. Of course, that doesn't stop me from accumulating dozens of half painted minis. For this one, I spent a few minutes here and there (usually while painting other figures that shared similar shades and colors) over the course of a couple of months. The cloak was based with ballast (just as with a... uh... base) to give it a lava-esque feel and painted to suit. Mostly this was inspired by the Cloak of the Salamander picture in the D&D Miniatures Handbook, even though I obviously didn't reference the picture directly. Otherwise, no majorly interesting techniques here despite experimenting with various things -- there is some subtle object-source lighting from the sword on his face and armour. The armour uses a blend of both metallics and non-metal metal styles. The sword was actually done with pens, not paint, as were the howling mini-elementals in the cloak. I probably should have left them out, but overall I'm pleased with him. Kep
