The Treelord (Dark Treelord)
This is my second painted version of my Treelord miniature. I call this the Dark Treelord. I mention the sculpting aspect in the original Treelord posting, so I will discuss the painting in this post. I love Halloween, and the colors involved with that day. I wanted to paint a Nightmare Before Christmas style tree. I quickly noticed that with all that black and grey the miniature was going to end up quite boring. I decided to make a light coming from inside the tree, like a jack-o-lantern. This was in keeping with my theme, so I tried some intense fixed-light shading. I used mainly Citidel and Vallejo colors, and a Vallejo peint retarder for blending, as I do with most of my minis. I used a white undercoat for the lighted areas, several coats of red, orange and yellow to intensify the area, and a final airbrushed blend of yellow to further intensify the light. I finished off the light with a yellow-white and a white highlight. I am proud to offer the resin castings of this miniature through www.ultraforge.org If you wish to see another painted variation of this miniature, plese check out http://www.coolminiornot.com/97483 Thanks so much to everyone who votes and comments. Thank you Coolmini. Take care. Sophie.
