Demon Queen - a Kris Kringle present
I've been painting up character miniatures for the players in our wednesday night game, but ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bishi_wannabe (as the GM) has missed out so far... Fortunately, I drew his name for the Kris Kringle present - and so I decided to paint up Reaper's Necromancer as the Demon Queen. She's a recurring villain in the game, and one I'm sure we'll cross paths with again in the future.
The photo (and miniature!) are very overexposed - I think all the cleavage blinded my poor camera...
I experimented a bit with colours on this one, while still trying to use red and green. It's a Christmas figure after all :)
Flesh: All the skin colours have a bit of emerald green mixed into them, which gives much more natural shadows. Any warm green should do the trick, deepening the pink flesh tones without darkening them. There's a thin glaze of purple as well, which cools the colours down a little.
Red robes: shaded with Coal Black (a dark turquoise). I usually use black (which makes a murky shade) or brown (which never really works at all...).
Green imp: shaded with the same red/turquoise mix used on the robes. Red and green make good shading tones for each other, being strong contrasts.
The armour and sword were a happy accident, basecoated with a light grey I'd been using on another model. They have one umber wash, and some thinned white paint for a highlight. The end result isn't quite as chalky as the photos make it look (particularly the back view), and I think it turned out okay.
miss_rynn's Christmas Special went well last night. I'm still so full of food that I can hardly move.

Plus, Sunday's BBQ will have healthy food. I'm planning to make mostly vegetarian stuff, so bring some meat if you want any :)

I'm tempted to buy myself a new bike soon too, and ride it during Summer.

Depending on how the jobhunting goes, you might be able to ride to work next year as well...

But it's pretty clear she's not wearing *any*, clean or otherwise.
