really nice sculpt by Andrew Rae, due to appear on the Crooked Dice website, hence the extra effort (for me) on the base... chip and burger paper and crushed Fosters can made from Rizla... it will probably get rebased at some point as it won't match anything else and I have little to no urban terrain planned (dreamed of, but not planned)...

Nice painting. The face is great!
-
Great as ever, Evil! :)
I think that I'll remove the pant pockets so she walks around in nice, chav, softies instead.

Outstanding - the "textile" feel of the paint tones is great.

There was a Dr. Who episode that took place on any given spot in Hull?!? How did I miss that one?!?

Very nice, lovely job. :)
-
Very nice - must acquire one:)

Very nice paint job on the jeans... what technique/colors are you using, if you don't mind me asking?
-
Nice job!
Always interesting to see how a face changes with different paint jobs.
-
Lovely stuff! I feel like a proud parent :)
-
Wonderful work. 'Daisy' looks a bit Britneyish, pre or post rehab I'm not quite sure.
-
cheers all...
Very nice paint job on the jeans... what technique/colors are you using, if you don't mind me asking?
GW blues... think the deepest colour is enchanted blue, highlighted with ice blue and then an ice blue/skull white mix... I do very thin colours for the highlights, don't load the brush though... when it dries, it leaves that 'texture' look - I guess it's something to do with the particulates settling apart from each other... pure luck really...
looking at the pockets, I'm thinking if the shade/outline should be thinner there..
-
A grand paint job as always. I've not touched my brushes in well over a month, but this sort of thing gets me inspired again...
-
Thats great! hope mine will come out as well as this one.
-
I bet you make your brother green with envy, painting like that...
-
Lovely work. 8)
How do you texture your bases - it seems too fine for either green stuff or sand? And the little bits of paper and crushed cans are genius!
-
Great work! Love the tones and especially the texture of the jeans. Any chance of a tutorial on the litter? I'm wanting to put litter on my latest build and can't seem to get it to look right, but you've nailed on the head.

the base is watery premixed filler... spread thin and keep dabbing/prodding it - that seems to thicken it up a little bit so you can get some slight undulations in it... when it dires out, you have you overall texture from the undulations and ridges you put in and a nice grainy finish... perfect for concrete in my mind
the litter was green Rizla paper... for the smaller burger wrapper I painted some thin red lines on some Rizla, cut a reasonable sized square out and scrunched... the chip paper was a larger square of plain Rizla... again scrunched into a loose ball and then flatted into contact with some glue (bit of pva - some is needed inside the paper to keep it flat), bit of white paint on the raised surfaces, bit of red and brown GW wash for stains... that easy
the can was lucky, rolled and section of Rizla to the right thickness, glued the final edge with pva, and then when dry cut out a can lengthed section.... press the middle down with a cocktail stick and bend and press down both ends with the flat of your scalpel... when flattened it seemed to stay in shape ok and was just glued down...
-
Thanks for that, I'll have to give it a try. That you use Rizla paper might be the secret to the trick.

probably.... suggested by Geronimo from Fenris Games over on Frothers and a couple of other people... thin enough to look like scale paper... want to try a news paper, but not sure how yet...
-
yeah newspaper would be perfect, maybe using rizla with small squiggles drawn on it with a fine artists pen 0.3 or something similiar.

I concur with all of the above and thanks for passing on the rizzla tips!
Got this mini as a treat in my paint queue - just hope I'm as lucky wth my paticulates! ;)
-
Apologies for the threadomancy, but I'm currently painting my Daisy and was wondering if I could be cheeky and ask for the colour mix used for her hair (or other general hints and tips to paint hair like that...)?
-
my blondes are very simple - Citadel Snakebite Leather for the base/shade and keep adding white for each highlight... used some sepia wash into the crevices if memory serves at the end, but that was an experiment and not necessary...
-
very nice love the jeans thanks for sharing your technique
