Kjundude1 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Posted May 18, 2013 Celtic Vampire - I looked for this figure sculpted by John Rosengrant for three years before Tammy found one for me. I was a lot of fun to paint.
ewahl Posted May 19, 2013 Report Posted May 19, 2013 I have to ask what your painting technique is for painting such a perfect looking tartan plaid on the cape. I've tried this in the past using red, white, and greens for a specific plaid, and it was very difficult, especially when the folds in the cloth are taken into account. Ed
dmorrissette Posted May 19, 2013 Report Posted May 19, 2013 Nice. Face and etc. ate great but the plaid...super wow. not too bright or weak, just right.Dave
Kjundude1 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks Guys. The plaid was accomplished by starting with a green ochre and shadowing with a cork brown and highlighting with yellow ochre. Then, to get the lines straight, I use flexible car pin stripes and pencil in the lines for the crossing pattern. Then I painted the striped with a dark grey and darken the crossed lines with German grey. I then highlight and shadow the greys and blacks. Then a final thin strip of German Grey and cork brown. All paints were Vallejo. Then added a couple of very light washes with green ochre and German grey to dull it down. That's it. I have a 54MM highlander that I am going to do in the McLean tartan. I will use the same technique in a much smaller scale. Chris F.
Whiteraven97 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Posted August 6, 2013 He's fantastic! I always liked this kit, but could never figure out why the vampire was still "alive." I guess the stake didn't go quite far enough.
