The technique involved painting a grey-brown base coat, and then two lighter quick dry brush coats, with some olive green dry brushed to bark edges. This was followed by painting some but not all vines olive green. Then I applied a very thinned down wash of Gryphonne Sepia, followed by Soft Tone, then Devlan Mud. Finally I picked out some edge highlights with VMC Stone Grey, and painted the eyes and mouth. All told, maybe an hour and a half over 3 sittings. It is no award winner, and maybe a little lighter in colour than is preferable, but I am happy with how it turned out, especially to get it finished so quickly with recently losing my painting momentum.
Marvellous painting PulpCitizen. I really like the dusky tone, almost Silver Birch look, you've created with this miniature. Wonderful stuff my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Blaxkleric. :)
DeleteNice to get a mini done quickly (by my slow standards!). :)
Looks fabulous dude! Great technique with great results.
ReplyDeleteCheers mate. :)
DeleteLike I say, I think I wanted him a little darker, but he will do, and don't want to go too far with too many layers of washes and muck up the overall effect. :)
Groot, GROOT!
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteWhat a great character.
ReplyDeleteA nice mini to paint, for sure. :)
DeleteIn addition, one of the better casts I have had from KM - decent metal, nicely cast, and went together well. :)
He turned out nicely Pulp! If only all the miniatures could be painted to such a standard in 3 coats!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Terry! :)
DeleteThe next one up is more traditional in approach (for me at any rate!), but thankfully is nearly finished. :)
I like it.
ReplyDeleteCheers mate. :)
