...striking fear in the villagers, the Standard Bearer approaches the vista, leading the warband in battle against the hapless humans scattering below...
Another in the "miniature in an afternoon" series.
The banner was painted blue. The blue in the ridges of the stitching, and the holes in the banner, is a strong ink wash of blue. This was let dry. That took quite a while to dry, about 5 minutes.
Afterwards, the skeleton was washed a brown and cream (instad of the usual cream and white), then let dry. This weas done messily to represent the ogre's quality of painting (and mine :P)
The skeleton was then done with a lighter color (slightly more white added) than the base wash, and let dry. Drying on that was fast.
The banner was lightly stippled with the base color in semi-even strokes going down the center of each strip of cloth on the back. The front got a few dabs here and there.
The poor guy got left behind - his muscles didn't get touched up at all because of the time lost on the banner. But it was a fun afternoon!
