The archaeologist Marcus Scarman
by Orctrader

Description	:	This was an exercise for me trying more basic techniques on a sculpt without huge amounts of detail. The miniature comes “unarmed” so I added a meat cleaver from a weapons pack. Primed black. Painted the suit with a light (VGC Wolf) grey, and then washed with a very dark grey highly diluted with water. Drybrushed the suit with the light grey, then highlighted with the same colour. Further highlights with the grey mixed with skull white, then just the white. Flesh was worked up from dwarf flesh with some final highlights in white. The weapon was metallics built up from boltgun metal through chainmail to mithril. The wash is black paint rather than ink, my usual preference, just trying different things.

Nice job on the face and the white suit.

Several things seem off on this figure. His suit seems dirty, and why all one color? Why is there dirt in grass when the figure evokes and urban theme? I understand keeping it simple, but I would have done a bit more with the painting. it seems unfinished.

Nice model, some times the simple ones can be really fun to do. Not worrying about swords, armor, and banners. The metallics are a bit rough in comparison though, I'd try treating them like any other color, and focus on layering.

Howdy - overall nicely done! White is so tough to do, and I like the 'gritty' feel of it here. Anyone who is weilding a cleaver is obviously not going to be pristine clean - lol peace
