Dungeon Saga Human Mage figure

Dungeon Saga Human Mage

This time round I worked on the Human Mage figure.  Being a city born pretty boy I went for lots of bright colours for him.  Yellow for the pants, blue for the loin cloth (why does he have one, he has pants on??) and flame red for the tunic.  In the game most of his spells are fire based so the red matched up.  Plus he wears no armour so the blood doesn’t show too much either.  He doesn’t really have any fingers on his left hand so I’m guessing that fireball spell didn’t always work so well.

Dungeon Saga Human Mage

For the red shirt my dark to light range was…

Black
VMC Red
VMC Flat Red (base)
VMC Vermillion
VGC Orange Fire
VMC Flat yellow
White

The yellow/white was only used as a series of very light glazes on the top parts of the figure from shoulder height and above.  I also glazed some red over the upper parts of his staff too.

I screwed up the face about three times so the end result is a bit lumpy due to too much paint, but in the photo is doesn’t look too bad.  The symmetry of the face sculpt is a bit off (one eye normal, one eye half sized) which kept throwing me off.  Plus painting at 9pm when you have been up since 5am is never a good idea.

Keldan base colours (and dodgy ear)

The last Dungeon Saga figure I will do for a bit will be Keldan.  He’s been on the shelf long enough for me to get over the ear horror.  I tided up his base coats and changed his clothes to be VMC Leather Brown (instead of VGC Leather Brown).  On the mage figure I used the VMC Leather Brown (highlighted with VMC Iraqi Sand) and really liked the effects I got from it.  I never get leather to look like leather but using this new VMC Leather Brown as the base I got something much closer to what I see other people doing.
