Edgar Allen Poe fans, eat your hearts out.
I LOVE this skull. I have no idea if I will ever be able to replicate this again but wow! I am impressed with myself. And it was SO easy! I base painted the skull with Vallejo Model Color 70.918 Ivory then washed it with Vallejo Game Wash 73.200 Sepia Shade. Toughed up the teeth with some more Ivory after the wash and voila! The raven is base painted in 70.994 dark grey, washed in Citadel Colour Nuln Oil (which I spilled all over my workspace, reminding me why I am not allowed to use paint pots), then dry brushed with 70.883 Silver Grey. The base is Vallejo Environmental Thick Mud 73.810 Light Brown Mud washed in Nuln Oil and highlighted.
How Not To Paint a Miniature tip of the day: If your paint pot lid will not stay open creating a suitable spot to dip your brush on the tongue, DO NOT use a 45 caliber bullet you just happen to have laying around. It is both slightly too big and will make your pot top-heavy so it is easy to tip over creating a terrible mess.
My recommendation: A piece of plastic straw like a drinking straw or one of the plastic tips that comes on your brushes when you buy new ones. The extra length can actually help to keep the pot from tipping over completely and it does not add any extra weight.
Willowwind78 Not-So-Pro Tip: Always keep a clean eye-dropper near your work station. Not only does it come in handy for making dilutions to create your own washes but it can also be used to salvage some of you paint after you knock the pot over. You’re welcome.
