White…
I always dread white. It’s bloody difficult to look convincingly white.
So
I started with the ghost from Reaper. A white primer, Dark Tone wash and then
heavy drybrushing with white.
It
actually didn’t look too bad. Maybe white isn’t so difficult.
When
I was half convinced that I could do a reasonable white I starter with Abigail
Sutherland, one of the heroes of The World of SMOG: Rise of Moloch. She’s another stunning
model, they all are.
I
removed her from her internal base, cleaned up some mould-lines and repeated
the ghost treatment and added colour here and there.
Ready
for gaming with a ghost as a bonus.

White is never fun to paint but these have turned out well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil!
DeleteI feel pretty good about them.
The way I approach white (and sometimes black) is pure white is rare in nature, it's usually some sort of off-white, pale cream, very light gray, or some such. Then you can use a more "whiter white" as highlights.
ReplyDeleteNice work on these!
You're absolutely right. I'd like to try with a very, very light blue as base, to get a 'colder' white.
DeleteNext time.
Brilliant stuff Joakim! You really captured the look of the card into the figure 🙂
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivor!
DeleteI rather like painting tho match the art. It is great fun and helps when you game.
