I've had this in my grey army to a good few years and felt its about time I pulled my finger out
and painted it.
It's a fantastic Sculpt from Sean Green. This was a very limited edition, only around 15 cast
and I was very fortunate to get one.
All acrylics at this stage.

So am I, I'm hope to be able to replicate the glow. Going to try oils to produce a waxy sheen for the candle.
I've already paint the flame in acrylics, which looks ok, so fingers crossed I create the desired effect.
A friend of mine melted some wax over the top, which naturally gave a good effect.

Nap, what have you gotten me into. I hadn't given much thought to the candle, and your post gave me the idea to try and replicate the drawing.
I've not attempted anything like that before....
At this stage its all acrylics, and the first highlight has been applied.

In the next session, I'll switch to oils to make a smooth graduation on the contrasting colours.

Very nice, not as easy task to depict fire and cast light but if this is your start you have no trouble.

Cheers Simon
 
Hi Malc

As Mr Simon says .......you'll have no trouble

Ok forward to you switching to oils and lighting up my life

Yes, something very different, and its going to give me a few challenges, Its a big piece to paint.

The candle has been overpainted in oils, allowing the contrasting colours to blend together nicely.
I'm allowing this to dry out for a couple of days before adding more detail.
I've even had a sneaky thought for adding a final touch. ;)

Not had much time to paint over the past few days. More Grandad duty with one of my granddaughters thinking I'd make a good climbing frame and human slide. :LOL:
I've added more detail to the flame with the addition of some gloss varnish, and Super glue to the droplets.
Painted the flesh on the arms with acrylics, using some oil glazes, and finally block out the shirt after under painting.
