Hey guys,

in my new tut I go through the steps on how I painted my Coppelius miniature.

Cheers!

If you're accepting comments I think that the OSL effect is not working. There's shadows under the eyes where there would be light, and some on the forehead where there would be none/little.

How did you do that base though?

Yeah, the OSL is a bit overdone - I wanted to draw some interest to the face as that is the figures strongest point visually. Maybe I'll tone it down a bit.

The base is an ironhalo resin insert (the Deus Ex Machina line).

The floor was done in an 1:1 VGC Gunmetal and VGC Brassy Brass mix. The cogs where different shades of brass, gold and copper. The verdigris on the bronze parts was done by mixing a glaze 1:1:1:10 VGC Livery Green : VGC White : VMC Sky Blue : Water. The glaze was then dabbed onto the bronze and copper cogs, wiping the excess on the raised areas away with a finger. This way, I could build a patina in the recesses without tinting the rest of the area.

Cheers!
