Chatter Of The Squirrel

Spent the past few weeks painting up the Lich Lord to display and play at the event at Cineleisure last weekend.

After gluing up the wings and most of the bits, I used my airbrush and sprayed Chaos Black all over it. Giving everything a good black coat to paint on.

Then, I used Skull White, and sprayed a thin layer from the top at an angle. This way, the upper surfaces, and parts that light will shine on, will be white. While the shadowed bits will remain black. This is a lazy cheat.

Then I sprayed the wings with Naphtanol Red. And I quite like the resulting effects. As I had hoped, the surfaces exposed by light came out a brighter red, while those parts in the shadows remain darker. Thus, enhancing the looks of the miniature, without the tedious paint layering or blending.The rest of the model took me about a week of painting while at work.

The finished product:

Still a little too shiny for an undead creature eons old. But I can continue to improve on it as skill or accessibility to new paints allow…
