I am not a big commission painter - in fact I rarely take on projects unless they really grab me... but when
Studio McVey approached me to paint one of their new Sedition Wars miniatures it was inevitable going to be one of those 'moments'! The miniature that fell to me to paint was a special piece from the Battle for Alabaster Kickstarter created as a 'thank you' for the backers' patience at the delay of the game launch.
He is an alternate version of the pistol-toting rebel Captain Vokker Dargu. As there was an existing paint-job of this guy, part of my brief was to paint him in the same colours as the
original studio version. I struggled to get decent shots of him, so am secretly hoping Studio McVey might get some, but here are my photos:
Awesome. And Congrats on that commission. You did it more than justice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Zab! Hopefully it will be the first of many :o)
DeleteFantastic work! And of course congratulations for getting tapped for the job. If I may ask, what colors did you go with for the skin tone?
ReplyDeleteHi Sean
DeleteThe colours I have used for his skin are the Reaper Master Series 'Tanned Flesh' triad but then with some ivory to highlight and P3 Sanguine Base to shade. I think I may have added a touch of VMC US Olive Drab for the darkest tones.
I hope that helps!
Yes, thank you!
DeleteTerrific work. I especially like the coat. Fabulous.
