Painting Update: Acererak and Robed Female Monk

May 12, 2021

So here’s a painting update on my two current projects.



Acererak

Mostly, I was trying to make sure the Wraith Black is covering all of the black primer I used on his robe.

Miniature figure of a robed figure with red scarf, black arms, and dark crown, set on a wooden surface.

Next I worked on his sash thing with Vampire Garments. That is much easier to see that the black primer is being covered.

Miniature figure of a queen in blue robes and a crown, red scarf, and outstretched arm on a wood grain surface.

After both of these are done, I began working on his staff, at least the bone parts, using Bleached Skull. I’ll work on the wrappings at a later time.

Miniature figure of a robed, blue-clad person with a red scarf, holding a white-painted arm.

As a reminder, here is my inspiration.

Acererak miniature, grey and purple robes, holding a staff.

I’m not sure I will actually do an attempt at a “perfect” copy, but I will be close to this.


Monk Commission

I started by going over the white of the robe with the Cold Flesh again, giving it another coat.

I did the same with the Matt Black in the hair, the Skeleton Bone for the face/skin (feet), and the Pixie Pink for the base of the orchid in the hair:

As you can see, today is more about second coats than anything, but they definitely are coming along!
