OK, the first WIP entry is my current miniature of the Games Workshop Wraith for Vampire Counts. I had this because years ago I aspired to start a Vampire Counts army, never got much further than buying some stuff. Anyway;
Wanting to do something a little different and expand my abilities, I have decided for this mini I will do directional lighting. Basically everything is lit from a specific angle (here from behind), but with this I wanted to go one step further. You may not know but the 'evil' moon in Fantasy is green, so I decided I am going to try and highlight using green to give the 'spooky' look. In addition to this I will be attempting to do a nice set of orange glowy eyes on the wraith and some rust on his scythe. Two more things I've never done.
Picture one:
This is a mock up of his base. Wanting him to be a little bit more suiting, a graveyard seemed appropriate, thus a bit of rummaging and I came up with some zombie arms and some gravestones. Hacking two up I wanted a broken down look and above is the end product.
Picture two:
The wraith thus far. You'll notice the general lack of highlights on much of him, this is because only his skull is done. The difference is very hard to see =( but about half way over the top his skull gets more highlights, due to the idea of the front not getting any light to it and I'm trying to keep it dark. Otherwise, I have just shaded the staff and the blade on the weapon.
Not much to him so far, but soon!!
