I went to my lead pile and took the assassin from the Lead Adventure range and a base from Micro Art Studio with an idea in mind reworking his face to have a plain mask to fake the logo of the Vth challenge.
I hope it will give the feeling I searched.

The first time I tried a blue grey and black style any comment will be appreciated.
Be seeing you.

From Curt:
Ahh, wonderful work Gilles! I love how his mask shines out from the greyscale background - an excellent effect. And the face, did you sculpt that yourself? It turned out brilliantly. Thank you so much for the wonderful figure.
Excellent work Gilles, and the "V" mask is a nice touch :)
ReplyDeletea certain spookiness about it, nicely done.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Your use of the limited colour palette has worked well and really fits the identity of the miniature. A lovely touch, reworking the face to resemble the Challenge's logo.
ReplyDeleteGreat work - I like how the color palette works
ReplyDeleteGreat work! The black & white style works really well
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this. I think you captured the style and executed the mask especially we'll. Truly the mascot of the challenge.

ReplyDeleteGood luck to all.
Super start
Hi all,
ReplyDeletethanks a lot for your comments, I wasn't sure that the work I done could appear on the pics.
Hi Curt,
the figure had a tissue hiding his face and a small mask pending from his torso (I cut it off and reworked the lead of the face with a cutter, then I painted it .
I took some pics during the work to put a step by step on my blog after. coming soon.....
Best regards

ReplyDeleteGreat work on the mask, both in terms of the conversion and how your palette works to really make it pop.
