What's in progress by Dark Tower

Post by Le6n »

After finishing PF diorama, I've started my first mini bigger than 28 mm scale. It's 12 cm high Zombie Bust from SMM. Here is my version of tombstone made in my favourite blue-color scheme.

How did you achieve this look? Blue washes?

No real washes at all. On my blog at http://dtsmodelling.blogspot.com/ is full step-by-step guide, but written in SK language. Every miniature I paint with HIGHLY diluted paint, which is in fact coloured water. And putting lots of layers of that diluted colour helped me achieve that look. Simplified for few words - undercoated with gray vallejo and pre-shaded with some coat of GW ink (to define shadows and recesses) I started to build top of tombstone with blue-green colour and bottom with with blue-purple. In the middle I wetblended one into other. Continuing until the tones came up. Then add some brown dirt putting diluted colour into cracks. Finally - some drybrush job and fine-lining for highlighting edges of tombstone and cracks.

Great work on the tombstone. Very realistic to me. Thansk for the pointers and the other tuts identified.
