Here is something I have been working on for a little while, tweaking and adjusting. This is the figure for the all important "Shaded Basecoat" video. I have actually filmed it twice, since it is so important to include all the information I want on that instruction set.
I chose this guy (minus the boss pole on the back) because it has so many different types of surfaces. Flat, round, clothes and skin, etc. Also, the surfaces are somewhat broader, given its size. That helps to demonstrate the principle of the shaded basecoat more easily.
I did not include the boss pole for time considerations. There is a tiny window to do so, but I don't want to have to 'jump ahead' or anything of that sort.
I am also creating a sci-fi base that does not have any GW bits on it, just to stay safe.
This guy works very well with the filbert brushes, and shows up very nicely on camera. :-) There is a Fantasy version of this figure that I have also used as a practice run.
Many thanks to Raging Heroes!!!! Their Kickstarter is imminent, and I have been working on the Kurgonova Sisters in my new army color scheme. Once their countdown begins, I will start posting the images!
Do you have a brand of filberts to suggest? Most of the ones I have seen have very long handles, which might be annoying for miniature painting.
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed your question! American painter is a nice, inexpensive brand.
