This How to is a request from a friend Lane.
JJ painting,

Shawn wanted
me to paint this up as lava for his second Wraithknight. He purchased
this base sometime ago and wanted to use it for something special.
Based Jon Kovalic's Black Armoury Primer. |
|
Light coating of airbrush Evil Sunz Scarlet. |
|
Missed a
couple of pics. Edged the rocks above flowing lava with airbrush Troll
Slayer Orange. Then airbrush Army Painter Mat Black to build up the
middle of the rocks that would be cooler than the edges. Next airbrush
Vallejo Scarlet Red to blend the black with the orange. Finally Army
Painter Mat white base for flowing lava. Probably would've been ideal
to only do the centre of each flow and not all the way to the edges of
the rocks. |
|
If the white
wasn't all the way to the edges of the rocks there would be a
differentiation of hot yellow. Middle area would be a brighter yellow
than darker yellow next to the rocks. To really push that hot lava
feel. |
|
Flash Gitz Yellow for flowing lava. |
Now you might ask: What if I don't have an airbrush?
Here are instructions how to paint with a brush. I've seen this effect done on bases for models at tournaments.
|
You can do
this a couple of different ways. Here are two. Left: First start with
thick veins of Red, then paint thinner veins of orange inside the red,
last yellow even thinner inside orange. Right (this is the how I see
bases at tournaments painted, usually there's some sort of disc on top
of the base so it doesn't look paint on a base): Same technique as left
but in reverse. First paint line of yellow, next paint line of orange
around the yellow, last red around the orange. |

J'adore le résultat, les couleurs sont flashy, grand travail !
Où avez vous trouvez le socle ? Je le trouve très bien fait.
