Icey

Okay so im browsing through some different minnis and (the darkage selection i believe) and I came across the Ice Elemental.
Most of you would say \'woopdee crap its just a thing made out of ice\' but i had a thought... HOW THE HELL DO YOU PAINT THAT????

Does anyone have any tips, rules ect. to painting ice?
Thanx

uhmmm, this was sorta brought up in a semi recent forum about painting guys as gems and the dark age guy and some crystal giant and goatman painted some cool ice diorama recently and i have not a clue where any of these frikkin links are.

I was the one who posted that \'recent forum\'. I still can\'t tell you how to do it though. All I can do is point you to someone who does. Chrispy.

Just check out this mini of his.

I went over this in my Precious stones article:

http://www.coolminiornot.com/go.php?go=articlephp&aid=200&page=2&orderby=&levels=

it\'s towards the bottom of the page. Basically, you make white edges (or if it\'s colored, a white+color mix) and paint the inside blue, if it\'s totally clear, or colored with the objects being shown slighty lighter than in real life. Angela also has a good example on that page, too. The thing on different \'facet\'s is also good to remember if you\'re doing an ice elemental!
