Lesser demon sergeant
A bunch of first's on this one, my first reaper mini, first attempt at gold NNM, first self sculpted resin cast base and first go at painting lava. I love the look of this mini and had high hopes for it, but it proved much harder to paint than I was expecting, overall though I'm happy with the result. I would usually use purple and orange to shade and highlight red, but I wanted something of a more "natural" colour for the flesh, so I just used black ink mixed with red to shade, which gives a reddish brown colour. The sword and dagger were painted to be glowing white hot like lava. I'm still struggling to get the hang of NNM, but I was reasonably happy with it. The boots were painted using white highlights after a thread in the fora discussing how to paint shiny PVC and leather, it proved rather hard and I'm not convinced such harsh highlights work very well at such a small scale. The base was so I could have a practice at mould making and casting, the original was sculpted out of spackle and a mould made out of RTV silicone rubber, resin was used to cast the base from this. Overall it was fun to do so much experimenting, hope you like it.
