Death is only the beginning...
- Imhotep "The Mummy" 1999
Last week we looked at the last batch of skeletons from the Conan board game, and this week we're back with undead of a dryer variety.
The bonus box from the kickstarter came with five each of two different sculpts of mummies for our friendly neighborhood barbarian to hack through, today we'll look at half of them.
I started by painting them all Ushabti Bone, I then inked all the areas where their desiccated skin is peeking through with several layers of a watered down mix of Drakenhoff Nightshade and Druchii Violet. I finished off their skin with some The Fang, diluted with Lahmian Medium to keep it nice and matte.
With their skin nicely preserved, it was on to their wrapping trappings!
I had to be careful now with the linen wrappings because the skin was finished so I didn't want to go flinging ink all over the place. I did an all over wash of Agrax Earthshade (sparing the skin) then watered down Nuln Oil in some of the deeper recesses. As a note, I initially did two of them with Seraphim Sepia instead of Agrax Earthshade and found that they didn't quite have the depth I was going for. I completed the wrappings with highlights of Ushabti bone and then White Scar.
To give them a mystical haunting glare, I first filled their eye sockets with Druchii Violet, and once that had dried, dotted them with White Scar.
Here's a picture of the gang so far...just wait till you see all 10 together!
That's a wrap till next week on The Art of Caesura!
