ommelette Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 This is an old CSM Sorcerer I had that I decided to paint up. Really find that this is one of the less painted minis where people actually try to put time and effort into, probably because it's slightly horrible. I mean he's wearing an awkward pair of gloves and a dress, I really don't know if he's going to spit arcane sorcery or try to touch children. Other than that though I've always loved the helm and chest decorations. Here he is: http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s116/Baron_von_Orange/ChaosSorc.jpg I'm stuck because I'm not sure what colours to paint his dress and gloves that will complement the firey blending I have on his other parts. I am equally lost with what would look good on his back pack. Any tips on what might make this kiddy molesting mini look cool would be greatly appreciated.

Olis Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Might I suggest getting a hold of a colour-wheel? There are probably some versions banging around the net which detail complementary colours, and more. But if you just want a sounding board I'd have to say use blues and/or blueish greens for his robes - iirc that range of colour complements fiery colours. Also; Nice blending on the sorceror. He's looking great so far. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be some green, maybe in his staff, but not predominantly. What I had thought of is doing some bleached bone freehand on his dress/robe thingy and also some blueish runes on his gloves.

vharing Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I would also recommend a color wheel. My ex gf went to art school and she had one laying around the house. It is a big help to getting your colors and tones looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I can't help but think of a Dragon Warrior when I see this guy. Having said that, a red scale pattern on his robes would look gnarly as hell. Just a thought man. Looks awesome so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
