The good doctor here is the first 32mm miniature based on the online CCG game Splinterlands, and was sculpted by Drew Day Williams.
The wargame translation of the CCG is the brainchild of Jason Lye, aka 'Ye Alchemist', whom many of you know I am sure. The finest purveyor of genestealer cult rarities among other things. If so inclined you can find Dr Blight here: https://www.splinterlandalchemist.com

Dr Blight was a very pleasant fellow to paint. By using thinned Contrast Black Templar over an Eshin Grey basecoat it gave me a good deal of the shading for his coat right away. Some stark edge highlights and that was the greatcoat just about done. On the mask I used one of my paints du jour on, Corax White. An excellent base for white as it is off white enough to allow pure white highlights to show over a Corax White basecoat, though in this case I shaded it with the appropriate Apothecary White, thinned to about 50/50.
His undercoat, belt, gloves and staff were painted various browns, shaded with Agrax Earthshade and then highlighted with Pallid Wych Flesh mixed with the base colour. Some thinned Seraphim Sepia on the robes and gloves gave the leather a little more warmth.
The lamp I wanted to burn quite low, so I added several glazes of Nazdreg Yellow contrast paint around the metal of the lamp and onto the greatcoat. I also added a touch of Sunburst Yellow to the lamp edges before glazing with Nazdreg Yellow.
So there we are, one plague doctor to go!
Hmm, tasty one! It looks magnificent, and I find the marks on the mask pretty evocative. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThatsxa particularly nice treatment on the coat there. The entire model comes together very nicely.
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about Splinterlands. Is the colour scheme above taken from a specific reference?
