Hello, occasional readers. This is your, now, very occasional writer. This is just some progress photo's for those who haven't switched to stalking my Instagram (see below).

This lovely model got me featured on the Warhammer Community Twitch stream; which certainly felt like a feather in the old cap!

The Nighthaunts are on eBay presently, but I may yet pull them and add a another model or two. If they sell, they sell.
However, the main effort of the past two months has been the moving of TML towers to another new fastness. This time we hope it's one that will stick, as we have a permanent dedicated studio/games room. But more on that in another post...

Hi. Your ogre looks great. What is undershading? Cheers, Karl
ReplyDeleteHi there, Undershading - as I understand it - is a technique mainly for Airbrushes, and using heavily contrasting colours applied zenithally. In other words, for the Ogres after undercoating they were sprayed from below dark green, focusing on the areas of deep shade, then a mid green was applied from 45 degrees above the model to highlight most upper surfaces, but more in the top half of the model. Next some pale fleshtone was mixed in to the green, and sprayed from 60-70 degrees above. A couple of final passes added more pale tones o lighten up the 'green' even more and were shot onto specific areas to highlight them. The final effect is a sort of colour transition, as you look at the model from different angles, natural shade and highlights should appear.
DeleteThanks a lot for sharing how you painted the ogre. The skin looks fantastic. I haven't used an airbrush for years and never on small models. Is it possible to use your technique on smaller models as well? To paint orc skin, for example?
DeleteI'd say it would work, I picked up the technique from tutorial based on human sized minis. Went with the ogre to try it on as the larger size gave more margin of error for learning!
