Sniper girl box-art for Manufaktura Miniatures

I'm glad to present one more sniper girl box-art for Manufaktura Miniatures. I'm happy that I had the opportunity to paint this miniature, because it reminds me the heroine of one of my favorite Stephen King's novel  - "Cell" (Alice Maxwell).

I imagined she close to this way when I was reading the book. Manufaktura asked me to make "Basic Sarbucks Girl", and I hope that I managed to do something similar to the pictures that Google gave me on this request.
I used the recipe for black and black NMM from my "Paint it Black!" tutorial, as well as another warm black recipe to visually separate the pants and jacket.

Perhaps in the future I will make another version of this miniature for myself, but already more colorful.

Traitor Librarian part 3; NMM

Since in the previous project (https://ravenswood-art.blogspot.ru/2018/04/praetor-tribune-project-final.html) the part with the HMM was fairly well disclosed, I will only allow myself to describe the changes in the recipes regarding the previous variants.








The main change in the steel HMM (https://ravenswood-art.blogspot.ru/2018/04/praetor-tribune-project-part-4-eng.html) was the refusal to use my beloved German Cam. Black Brown from Vallejo due to the poor quality of this paint. Alas, the last two pots purchased were not good enough for use and I had to look for a replacement. As a replacement, I used a very dark mixture of Reddish Brown from Pacific88 and black. All other colors remained unchanged.








In the bronze NMM (https://ravenswood-art.blogspot.ru/2018/04/praetor-tribune-project-part-5-bronze.html), I replaced the Dark Red-Brown with Flash shade 2 (both Pacific88), and also reduced the saturation of orange color in reflexes and additional lights, in comparison with the previous variants. Also I added a little purple in the shade (here and further Hexed Lichen).


Orange bronze (on the back) has not changed since the original version. (http://serpentarium-painting.blogspot.ru/2018/02/eng.html)






Gold.








I divided the staff into three parts: I made the upper part lighter and yellow, the middle part - less yellow and more contrast, the lower one - more brown, with violet shadows and the most contrasting.








As a undercoat, I used the Reddish Browns (Pacific88 Art Color), mixing it and Scrofulous Brown (Vallejo Game Color) for the base shade. Next, I highlighted it, first adding a little Scrofulous Brown, and then to a pure Gold Brown (Vallejo Model Color). In the last stages, a bit of Yellow (Pacific88 Art Color) was added to Gold Brown, after which this mixture was highlighted by Pearl White (Pacific88 Art Color). The glare is set to pure Pearl White, then with the help of Scrofulous Brown, I removed the excess yellowness where I did not need it.













In this recipe, Pearl White can be replaced with Ice Yellow (Vallejo Model Color) and Yellow with Sol Yellow (Scalecolor).

Paint it Black!

A little bit about painting black on the Engineer of Krieg.

As you know, there has three variations of black tones: warm, cold and conditionally neutral. In this miniature, three versions of cold black were used, their differences should show the difference in the materials that they imitate.

Traitor Librarian project, part 2 - the Base

This part of the project log will cover painting the base. I was going to make it a bit darker than previous versions, so that the glow from the flame, which I will do later, looked more convincing. Since I have not yet decided what color this flame will be, then I will draw reflexes closer to the end of the project.

Deathkorps of Krieg engineer sergeant

One more Krieg test model painted last week. Same as previous Krieg model I got a great fun to mix different kind and recipes of black, dark metal NMM  and atmosphere of desolation. Hope you also get as much fun as I in the process of painting.
By the way, this sarge look for new home, write us for details.

Traitor Librarian project, part 1

I started a new project log, dedicated to painting a miniature "Traitor Librarian in Cataphractii Terminator Armor" from ForgeWorld stitched by magnificent Tom Hugues. This model also needed to be painted in the colors of the Legion of Iron Warriors.

Seamus and the leprechaun

As soon as I had the opportunity to paint Seamus and his totem, I immediately decided that the Copycat Killer would be painted like a leprechaun.
Later, when I started working on Seamus, I also decided to make it more "Irish". For this, I made a green suit and hat. But I did not make him redhead, because it would destroy his image as serious gentleman (and mad serial killer of course)
