Goblins

These are some wild goblins from a Greenskin Wars kickstarter. Full of character. Each one has a different animal skin cloak. I went back to green, but trying a different shade that is more on the blue side, for a change of pace.

    1. Thanks, Michael! I appreciate the comment. I really enjoy the work you do, even if I don't always comment (afraid my comment will get lost in the vast number of comments you usually get, and won't add anything new to the conversation). Your work is always fantastic! :)

  2. Nice work! I especially like the colour combo on the double axe chap in the first picture all the browns work really well.

    1. Thanks, Iain!
      The way I have been doing browns lately is to use a bunch of different shades and then washing them with sepia and flesh washes from GW (I still prefer their washes for those shades over most other washes I have tried from other companies).
      Another thing I did with these guys (and some other minis) is first a coat of black gesso to prime them, followed with a rough drybrush of white. I figured that way I get the dark shadows from the black and more vibrant colors for the rest. Occasionally I find I still need/want a black base coat for certain colors, especially metallics and some shades of colors that are too translucent on their own and need that black to make them deeper/darker.

    2. That's really interesting, for all my renaissance figures I base them in black and then dry brush them white, I find it helps to show me the detail and I then just use washes which is both fast and means I end up with something that looks like a highlight plus I can leave a bit of the black in the deep recesses without spending too much time!

    3. Interesting, Iain.
      I wasn't sure washes on their own right on top of the white would work as well without a base color in between. But I know one or 2 other people who use washes on top of white and produce good results.
