Hunting in the Darkness - KD:M
10 Aug 21: Herb Gatherer
A Herb Gatherer, based on the event from the book. Built using the Unarmoured Survivor kit.
All the same steps as the previous minis so far.
The shadow line in the third picture is noticeably harsh. It’s the horizon line between being able to draw LOS to the lantern and not. I contemplated softening at this point, but decided not to, considering that future steps will probably work to blend these areas.
Skin coloured, same as the Miner.
The difference here is that I’ve also put colour on to the rear/ unlit parts of the skin. The test between these two is to see which looks better: the fully painted, or the “OSL/mono” version.
10 Nov 21: Getting on with it...
Paints used in the next few steps. 
After a little break, I wanted to get back to this project.
I used glazes to build up the colour:
- AP Skeleton Bone to build up the base of the Cloth
- AV Black for the lantern and the hair
- AV Ivory for the highlight on the Cloth
I used more layers on the front/ well lit areas. The dim/ dark areas only had one or two layers. Also, I realised later that I should have put down a couple of transition layers between the Skeleton Bone and the Ivory.
There’s a still work to do, but the experimentation between the two options (this style and the Miner) is working to get the ideas out from my head and onto painted minis.
