painting daemonettes

Evenin'


So I'm sitting here waiting for my project to finalize so that I can upload it to youtube (always takes for ever so I do it during the night). I'm almost (god so slow) finished with the group of 6 daemonettes I've been working on. Here's a crappy late night picture:



I've been having some issues with the choice of colors. I really dislike daemonettes - and I mean really! I think the models are ugly and the grayish/purple colors that I've so far seen on them makes them look more like disease ridden nurgle units rather than alluring daemons. Hence I decided to go for a more porcelain like color (still with purple though) - i think it turned out quite nicely actually. I am still torn when it comes to the claws though cause I don't want them to look like daemonettes usually do - in a completely different color than the skin - but I still want them to "pop" seeing as they are cool rending claws! Decisions, decisions! ^^

This was my, "trying to stay awake while project finalizes", update and I'll make sure to upload better pictures tomorrow. :)

  2. You could give the claws a harder highlight, almost up to white if you want them to stand out more. but with the skin so light im not sure though. I bought my ticket to Fantasia Fanatic in UmeĆ„ today =) my third tournament since I took up 40k again, and in june we´re having one here in my town so im looking forward to the spring.

    1. Yeah thanks for the tip - highlighted the tiny claws on the big claws (cause now I can't think of a single word that would be sufficient x))
      Oh, that seems nice! Jealous! ;) I hope you have a great spring! Let me know how you placed and what you went up against once it's time! ^^
