Title: Ink Experimentation - Torla
Post by: Froggy the Great on 29 September 2014, 07:12:58 PM
In The Worlds In My Head, Torla (no last name) is a Silmn woman who was born into slavery under the Nathi empire. She was trained as a classical dancer until her master underwent justifiable homicide at her hands. She was sentenced to an experimental facility where she was grafted into a prototype bonemetal exosuit as the first step towards creating an army of expendable drone soldiers.

She escaped with the aid of a deep-cover agent and is now on the run from not only the Nathi and their Human allies, but also her own people. The best she can hope for is a moment's peace; the worst is dissection in the name of research...

Torla was an exercise in using inks for as much as possible and seeing how far I could push it without doing conventional highlighting. I'm really pleased with the results.

Reaper body, Wargames Factory head.

Nice. Minis that are done all in inks have a distinctive look, I think, but it is not a bad one.

Top job!

Is the body from 50300: Blood Nebula Mercenary? do you get just one in a pack, or more? I ask as the figure seem pricier than some other singles.

The body is the blood nebula mercenary, yes.

The inks were primarily Reaper Miniatures' MSP Black Ink mixed 1:1 with MSP Brush-on sealer.  I had to apply several coats to achieve the effect.
