Painting the Crimson Head Prototype from Resident Evil the Board Game

Image
  Slowly and steadily making my way through my paining backlog. Currently on about 71% completion Step One As always, prime matt black and brush the bits you missed   Step Two This is, mostly, going to be the same as the regular Crimson Heads, just with a bit more attention and neatness. So, get that Necrotic Flesh out, and do all the fleshy areas Step Three Give the flesh a wash with Carroburg Crimson and leave to dry Step Four Bonewhite for the shirt and claws Step Five Give the shirt and claws a wash with Umber Step Six I decided to go with a more tan colour for the trousers, to help set this guy out a bit more, so I painted the trousers with Desert Yellow then gave them a wash with Umber.   Step Seven Paint the jacket, hair and beard using Skavenblight Dinge, then give it a wash with black Step Eight Once dry, colour in the smaller details like the manacles, teeth, belt and wounds, then base with Beasty Brown, using a black pen to create a floorboard effect and Army P...

Painting Emerald from Nightshift by Exotic Cancer

Image
  Instead of starting these posts with an almost unpainted version, maybe I should put the finished model front and centre and show how we get here? Step 1 As always, prime matt black then brush on the areas the spray missed Step 2 Two thin coats of Tanned Flesh from Army Painter   Step 3 Give the flesh a wash with Soft Skin Wash   Step 4 Highlight with Tanned Flesh, leaving the deepest recesses alone   Step 5 Highlight the skin further with Dorado Skin from Army painter, making sure to leave recesses alone and be sure to emphasise the abs with the highlight   Step 6 Paint the hair using two thin coats of Vallejo Game Colour Bonewhite   Step 7 Give the hair a light wash with Cassandora Yellow   Step 8 Once the wash has dried, return to the Bonewhite and carefully drybrush the hair. This will leave a dusty residue of the Bonewhite on the highest parts of the hair, bringing it back down to the original colour a bit, while leaving the wash in the deepest ...

Painting Amethyst from Nightshift by Exotic Cancer

Image
 The fourth of the girls from this game. For Amethyst, there will be a few more steps, and you'll definitely need a brush with a finer tip to do some of the more fiddlier bits. Step 1 As always, prime with a matt black spray and brush on matt black to cover the bits you missed. Step 2 We're not going to try anything fancy and artistic for Amethyst like we did with Sapphire (though, if you wanted to, you could follow the same steps for the skin but replace the blue wash for a purple one). Very simple, two thin coats of Topaz Skin from the Army Painter.       Step 3 Give the figure a quick shading with Soft Skin Wash to stain the skin and add shadows to the deepest recesses, then leave to dry.   Step 4 Highlight back up with Topaz Skin, making sure to leave the deepest recesses alone.   Step 5 Colour the hair with Vallejo Game Colour Royal Purple   Step 6 Give the hair a wash using Druchii Violet   Step 7 Using a fine-tipped brush, line the BDSM str...

Painting Sapphire from Nightshift by Exotic Cancer

Image
 For this one, I tried an experiment, realised I'd made a mistake, then did my best to correct it. Painting miniatures sometimes do be like that. Step 1 Same as always, we prime the figure with a matt black Step 2 Two thin coats of Pallid Wych Flesh. This is one of my favourite "off-white" colours as it's very close to actually being white, but slightly off, and translucent enough that lower layers show through pretty well.   Step 3 We give her a wash with Draknehof Blue. The original idea was to try and emulate the art by having her skin with blue shades, but I end up course correcting for reasons I will explain in a future step.   Step 4 Highlight with Pallid Wych Flesh  So this is where I started to feel like I'd made a critical error with the skin, as it looks more like a blue/grey tone. While this would work really well for doing a vampire, a corpse, or for "greyscale" painting techniques, our girl Sapphire is a living, breathing person and we want ...
