I painted this miniature up for the "End of Year Painting Contest" being put on by the excellent folks over at Miniature Monthly and Dark Sword Miniatures, and, now that the entry deadline has essentially come, I felt I could now share her! I've wanted to do a black/white/red color scheme for a while now, and, while this miniature may not be the first to come to mind when one considers that palette, my hope is that the fun novelty of that paint scheme applied to this miniature will resonate with at least a few people.
An interesting piece to say the least. I find the grey color scheme with touches of red very appealing, and they convey an almost Sin City aesthetic. In addition to the well rendered figure, I particularly like the earth sky shield on the base. Great work!
Thank you very much! I was influenced mostly by some Gothic horror-style art in those colors, but I saw an interesting video on color use in movies (which mentioned the Sin City aesthetic). Maybe I'll have to try black and white with some other bright accents than red one day!
This is a gorgeous piece!
I have a Knight Models Batwoman I've been sitting on for a while, and your monochrome + red color scheme has finally given me some inspiration.
Congrats on the win, and thanks for kicking-starting my muse! :D
Thanks so much! I really enjoyed painting in this color scheme, so I hope you have just as much fun when you try it out! A Batwoman mini sounds perfect for this technique!
