It's Deja'vu all Over Again


I seem determined to milk FD's dretch miniatures for every last drop of blog-worthiness. That being the case, it's time for one more go-round with these little miniatures.

My last post contained only one group shot from the front. I've gone back and added a pic of the group from the back.

I also took a sequence of WIP shots while painting that illustrate my method. (Actually, it's James Wappel's method. I'm just borrowing it.)

Primer
Basecoat
Highlights
Targeted Washes
Touch-ups to the mids and highlights
Details and Base

When applying the washes I try to avoid obscuring the highlights as much as possible. Even so, things look rather rough afterwards, necessitating a round of touchups. In the final step I used a dilute glaze of a purplish fleshtone to introduce a little color and give the skin a slightly mottled appearance.

More red oxide paste to blend the base components together
The Finished Product

Some more individual shots.


Finally, some detail-pics of what passes for flora and fauna down in the abyss.


That's a wrap.
