I went and darkened some of the grass around him like it was burned...
I worked with a new painting style this time on how to paint flames and added my own twist. I think perhaps I could have gone more orange in the mid and less red, but I had more reds to work with than oranges...
The concept was simple in the article and how I wanted to paint this, which is to paint this as close to a true fire as possible. Thus towards the bottom, more white/yellow with a building of yellow/orange to a orange/red with a red ending on top.
Here is the link, a very good painting tutorial....

Very nicely done. Look forward to seeing him appear in a game
ReplyDeleteThanks, I am looking forward to game with him.
DeleteA great mini and even better paint job. The burned grass was a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think it is orange enough, it looks like a nice transfer to me.
Thanks, the grass touch was a last minute thing, going to add some grey and browns later to add to it.
DeleteI am my own worst critic and very critical on my painting. Thanks for the feedback, sets some or my orange angst at ease.
