Darklord Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 if only i had finished him sooner for RH! oh well painted this fella up for the monthly WAMP cpmetition, the theme being flying . I wanted to create more than just a painted mini like i normally do, i wanted to create a 'feeling' to it. In my head i see the varghulf as pure evil and this to me means darkness so i decided to go with a limited dark pallete. the only colours i used on the piece (base included) were chaos black, fortress grey and some red for the blood and eyes. I really cant paint black and although i always wanted him to look grey rather than black it was some good practice! The blood was done to stand out almost like schindlers list . Emphasising the one things the varghulf craves - blood. i wanted to make the piece a little hard to make out - almost like its a shadow, this of course made it a bugger to photograph but i've done my best. I think this is the first piece i have ever done im happy with - not prefect but good enough. hope you like him too Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 OOO! Very nice Darklord. I love limited pallet pieces. They almost always look more realistic (If they are done well any way) For this the realism really adds to the horror factor. It's hard to take a fantastic figure that is supposed to be scary seriously when it's candy colored. Major props man. Too bad you missed RH. This would have done very well indeed.

supervike Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Very good job there Brett! The limited palatte works great with this type of figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wren Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Creepy! Definitely too bad he wasn't done in time for Rotten Harvest, he fits that theme very well. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moavoamoatu Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 It's really great in this colour. Excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I much prefer it grey rather than the brown colour a lot of people paint it. Shame it wasn't ready for RH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
