#EFREET FLAME PAINTER SKIN#

Neutral colours are generally considered apart from the colours that make up a colour scheme, so I added black to the colour options both for mixing shades and as a minor colour for leather straps, horns, and claws. I was excited about the prospect of being able to try a true analogous scheme on a figure since I had never done it before.

There are also a lot of great pages and programs available online related to colour schemes and selection. I like that this one shows tones and tints as well as pure hues. But when it comes to portraying something of any complexity, to me they seem a bit gimmicky or limited in the situations in which they work effectively.ДЄ colour wheel can be a handy tool to help you choose colours for painting a figure, and quick reference for useful concepts like complementary colours. Analogous colour schemes can be very effective in graphic design, and with certain subjects/approaches in traditional art forms. What you lose in that colour scheme is the punch and pop you can achieve by pairing complementary colours вЂ“ colours which are opposite one another on the colour wheel. Because the colours are adjacent, they work very harmoniously with one another, and you can be confident that everything вЂgoesвЂ™. An analogous scheme is one that uses 3-5 colours that are side by side to one another on the colour wheel. That sounded like a classic analogous colour scheme. So yellow, orange, and red, both in fully saturated form for hair and skin, and less saturated form for the metals.

This was my colour brief вЂ“ red skin on the darker side, hair with flame-like colours, and yellow metals for armour and accessories. As a result, I always like to collaborate with Ron to make sure IвЂ™m painting the classics in a classic way!. While I have played role-playing games for many years, IвЂ™ve played in a lot of low level and custom world campaigns, so IвЂ™m not as familiar with some of the classic creatures and characters of the RPG world as you might expect. Before I began painting, ReaperвЂ™s art director Ron Hawkins and I talked about his vision for the colours of the character. It started with Izzy вЂTalinвЂ™ CollierвЂ™s fantastic concept art, which sculptor Bobby Jackson did a wonderful job of bringing to three dimensional life.

This is a resin master copy, as the figure was not yet available in the Bones Black material at the time I was assigned to paint it.Д®very miniature (with the possible exception of completely scratch sculpted figures) is a collaborative process, and that is certainly true of this one. My painted version of the Efreeti figure from Reaper Miniatures. There seems to be some interest in knowing more about how I painted Ziba the Efreeti for Reaper Miniatures.
