Today I have a special installation of my Kingdom Death Gallery for you. I
managed to get my hands on a big part of my Kingdom Death collection with the
help of my pal DiStudios and he had already started to work on two figures
from the Gift of Death-Box when I asked him for the miniatures. The Savior and
the Man-Hunter. It was a cool challenge to finish the paintjob of another
painter.
Let’s begin with the Savior:
The Saviors’ skin and main cloth were already finished when I received it.
DiStudios had used bright yet slightly pastel colours on it. I really loved the
blending on the green and dark blue parts and don’t think I could’ve done this
that nicely. The challenge for me was to adjust my style to the previous
paint job and to get that pastel-like look which was very foreign for me.
When I tackled the Savior I used mainly blues on the remaining cloths. As
you can see I managed to fit the original blue quite nicely on the pants, but
got a bit too light on the stockings. The most difficult part was actually to
get the fitting colours on the ribbons on the staff, as I wanted to match all
three colours of the main miniature, but I think I managed quite well. To get to
said pastel-like look I mixed the bright colours with some bone white. To contrast with the serene and rather happy Savior I added a gory head to
the base which is happily ignored by the girl.
The second partly pre-painted model I received was the Man-Hunter an iconic
piece of Kingdom Death history and, if I’m not mistaken, the first adversary
they released.
As you can see the skin, cloths and wood were greatly prepared by
DiStudios. Especially the skin certainly took a lot of efforts. So all that
remained for me was basing and finishing the details.
As you can see I added some red, bone and metal details here and there and
tinted the skin a bit to the brown side, as that was always my personal image of
the Man-Hunter. Oh yeah… I had to re-attach the gallow-rope a million times
;-)
