Recently, the Riftling Rogue joined the cast of characters and brought the SDE project one step closer to completion. In the last couple of weeks, I've even managed to play a game of SDE and it has been an immense pleasure to have all the models in play painted and looking great. As I finish the project, I will devote some time to capturing some really good pictures of the models, both on the table and using the Foldio. To wrap up the project, I will also have one showcase post, where all of the models can be seen together and in glorious color.
Meanwhile, the Riftling Rogue was a quick paint and turned out quite well. I've seen several versions of the painted rogue, and each of them took a different road as to the fleshtones used on the model. For me, I wanted to go with something that was distinctly non-human, but also not entirely out of the ballpark. In the end, I used a combination of Vallejo Model Colors Flat Flesh and Violet Red. This gave the rogue a distinctly purple hew, while still making her look like some kind of hybrid.
For the Rogue's clothes, I opted to go with a combination of Vallejo German Fieldgrey with a bit of Black to suggest black clothing rather than actually use black paint. I find painting black, particularly on a model like this can lose the detail. Instead, I went with nearly black.
The Rogue's hair is Vallejo Blue Violet and White, building all the way up to pure white.
With a reasonable amount of time spent painting, the Rogue ended up being quite a good looking model and I am happy to have her on the board.
More to Come.

It was awesome to have found your blog just as I was starting on my own Super Dungeon Explore project. Added you to my blog roll and am now a follower. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, follow and add to the roll. I have returned the favor. Good luck on the SDE project! I have seldom found models I have as much fun painting!
