#barrowwight

I painted this @reaperminiatures #invisiblewarrior aka #sirconlan I decided to make him a #barrowwight with moldering ancient armor and a ghostly pallor. It was all Ben's idea, and I'm glad he suggested it. #ghost #miniature #miniaturepainting #reapermini #reaperbones #undead #wight #monster #lotr #tolkieninspired #acrylicpainting #myart #handpainted #rustedarmor https://www.instagram.com/p/BtwuqDYFRB6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wmvo9klocpt

And here is the barrow-wight!! It's always hard for me to get in the mood to start scarier things. Once I get going, however, it's actually quite fun! I researched a lot of different types of smoke for this, but ended up really wanting to push for whispy cigarette-like smoke. I tried finding painting tutorials for smoke, but all those didn't really achieve the look/feeling I was after. Eventually I just ended up creating my own smoke brush, which was ooooooh-so-much-fun to play with!! I had to really constrain myself to work within the original shape I had worked out: once you get going you just want to add more and more smoke swirls! I'm quite excited to pose this one. And after that it's time for some human characters! artstation.com/artwork/A0wRX
