A touch miffed, I went through my Saga I & II book to see if there were any miniatures that didn't require red in their color scheme. It turns out Kujaku Hime and Takanosuke (the sword carrying girl and leaping ninja respectively) have no red in their paint scheme.
Takanosuke will be a great miniature to get my feet wet with, as, being a ninja, he has a lot of black cloth accented by a touch of purple. Kujaku on the other hand will be a lesson in bringing up a black primer to light colors, as she's all whites, pale flesh, pink and pastel purple. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intimidated by her. I probably should have primed her in white, but I didn't have any at the time, and I tend to prime in batches...
Well, it's off to get as much of a start as I can before work. Let's see how good I can paint when I try.
I look forward for the painted versions. I'm sure they will be fantastic ! greetz
ReplyDeleteThanks! I managed to get Takanosuke pretty close to finished today before work, and I've put a dent in Kujaku's yukata. Let me tell you, freehand painting a bunch of flowers, including a ton of cherry blossoms, is a nightmare!
ReplyDeleteAfter I write my next paper I should be able to finish up the minis, so hopefully I'll have the pictures up soon. I may even be a little bit bad and put the finishing touches on Takanosuke tonight before bed.
