Title: My Frostgrave Treasure Markers
Post by: wulfgar22 on September 24, 2015, 05:05:06 PM: I finally got around to painting up my Frostgrave Treasure Markers in preparation for our first game this weekend.

Not bad for a ham-fisted beginner with sausage fingers like me...at least, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

Try a pure white highlight on your potion bottle. Just a thin line here and there .... makes it look like glass.

Glad that worked ... it just lifts it a bit ... stops it looking 'flat'.
I'm quite chuffed you gave that a go on my suggestion. :D

When you are happy with it let it dry (an hour is plenty long enough) then varnish over to protect it.

Cool. Will give that a go, too! Cheers.
