Yogie Paints Large Minis and Busts

So I woke in the morningband had a look at the pants and I wasn’t overly happy. So back in with the brush switching between purples and black.

I was using the Reaper Pure Black and it just wasn’t getting black enough for me so I then switched to the P3 black.

What I was trying to achieve was to have really deep blacks in the shadows, and then start to build up the purples in the highlights. For the corset I also added in some high highlights on the top’s of the creases to try and create a bit of visual interest.

For the metals I went with a simple chainmail silver with spot highlights using Vallejo Chrome.

Finally I decided to put down a base coat of the greenish skin using vallejo forest skin to see how it would look with the purple. I think it’s working well.

After again looking at the front leg it didn’t quite look right to me. So I did something I’ve been meaning to try for a while and that is stippling. Stippling is where you doblots of little dots of an alternative colour onto another. The higher the concentration of dots the more the top colour shows and the smaller concentration of dots the more the base colour shows through. It’s a good way of blending but until now I had never tried it. So I grabbed my cheapest brush with a nice point (as this technique destroys brushes and away I went on that front leg. It’s a definite improvememt on what it was.

I’ll move onto the skin now, but again I’ll probably end up coming back to the corset and pants again.
