Who Watches the Watchmen?
« on: 07 November 2008, 07:06:01 PM »
The call him Rorschach...

He Sees the world in black and white...

The innocent - He terrifies!

The guilty - He terrorizes

...To Death!

What will the ink blot see in you?






A 1-1/2 hour quick job. Going to be used in a new Pulp campaign I am taking part in next year.

3 Browns, 2 Purples, Black and White and Black ink.

Copplestone 28mm, I will be basing him on a resin base of some sort, undecided which one as yet.

Cool paintjob and cool concept. I like the "stippled" effect of the highlights, is there a trick to that or do you just dab it on?

Essentially yes. I just used quite thinned paint for the final highlight and stippled several layers onto the coat.

The same figure is in Pat's avatar too, I notice.

The stippling technique begs to be tried out. It seems to be particularly suited for painting old leather.

Great idea and wonderful realisation : he's sinister as his character.
Now, we want to see Blake, Dr Manhattan, Ozymandias...  ;)

I really have no idea what models I'd use for them...  :'(

My sculpting/conversion skills are limited at best and the remaining characters are really quite unique...  :?
