Painting Solomon Kane Temperance

Posted on March 25, 2021

I picked temperance first as it seems like a virtue I could get more of. The miniature was devoid of mold lines (that I cared about) and i decided to prime it black, along with the other three virtues.

I then airbrushed a layer of Imperial Blue (Vallejo) at 45 degree angle downward, preserving the shadows.
Followed several progressive zenital airbrush layers of Vallejo Magic Blue and Electric Blue and finally a top down, parsimonious touch of 50/50 Electric Blue and White followed by pure white.
Added highlight to liquid by using a lighter tone of blue and pure white, applied with the side of the brush on the raised area.
Belt was painted with Vallejo Smoke and highlighted/scratched with Vallejo Dark Sand
Corset was highlighted with two shades of purple to create contrast from the rest of the clothing.
The base was detailed by painting the roots GW Dryad Bark, highlighted with GW Gorthor Brown just at the top of the raised surface
Leaves were painted GW Waaagh Flesh (medium green) and highlighted with a lighter shade of green (here GW Straken Green)
The two vases were painted Vallejo Black Green and the decoration applied a thin layer of GW Runelord Brass
A wash of Huln Oil was applied and, upon it being dr,, a slight dry brush of GW Administratum Grey. I then came back with little touches of GW Runelord Brass to enhance details and overcome Nuln Oil flat aspect.
Using a dark blue, I chose to paint lines under the eyes. I felt they mimicked and complemented the water pouring from the hands.
Temperance is now complete and ready to guide Solomon Kane
