sanj Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) Updated with a shot of the whole crew I've had a go at painting lady funbags, complete with white stilettos. I've never tried painting up to white from a black undercoat before but I'm happy with my first attempt.

Extro Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I've got a big crush on Lady J and you really do her justice. I'm really digging the alternate paint scheme. She looks ready for a raid on the Decembrists. One thing I always love hearing from painters is how different your process is. I paint almost exclusively from white undercoats and probably would have washed and then highlighted. You started completely differently and it turned out great. Nice base also. She looks like she's raised up just high enough for her sword to be parallel with anyone's neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanj Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Thanks to all for the kind words. I would like your recipe for hr hair and a shot from behind... to see her hair better... IM CEREAL, GUYS! I'll do one from behind tonight, I'm super serial. Trying to remember what I did for the hair, it was almost entirely done with a 20 year old pot of citadel's 'blazing orange'. -If I remember correctly, I drybrushed white over a black undercoat first. -Then lay down several thin layers of blazing orange, really watered down, until I was happy with the darkest areas of the hair. -There should be some shading apparent as the white and black areas show up under the thin layer of paint. -Then I picked out individual streaks of hair with blazing orange, simply appling the paint thicker to areas I wanted to be brighter/lighter. I was suprised at how red the finished hair looks but I guess that is from the black undercoat darkening the orange so much. Edit: At some point I painted a very watered down layer of black over the hair to smooth the transition between light/dark areas, but I can remember when!

sanj Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 From behind... I wasn't quite sure what to do with the base from the back so I just blacked it out to ignore it. Any suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meechelley Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Love the way you painted her! Awesome job and thanks for describing your process for painting her hair ^__^ (I love how red it is!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odinsgrandson Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Good work. I almost always prefer using a black undercoat - even when I'm painting the mini in all white. My go to method is layering up, and starting out with a grey or brown and working my way up to pure white is pretty easy over a darker undercoat.

sanj Posted November 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 I've been a busy boy. I had real trouble with the flames on the far right death marshal. Does anyone know a good tutorial I could check out? I just tried to wing it and now I can't figure out what to do to improve the fire.
