I've been working on this one since around the beginning of the month. It went together really easily and there was only a bit of a gap between the center figure on the back, which was really easy to fill with green stuff and smooth out.
I wanted to do the black cauldron early in it's career - before it was burnt entirely black, so I painted it bronze and then glazed it with yellows, oranges, and reds along the bottom. Between it and the stuff under the cauldron, I'm having a hard time balancing the fire lighting things up vs. blackening it because it's, well, fire! So after I highlighted the stuff under the fire, I blackened it all with splotches of very thinned dark brown paint. I'm thinking of glazing it all orangeish or yellow, and then blackening again.. but I don't want all the base color to be lost, so I'm not sure what to do..
I also haven't yet worked out how I'm going to deal with the fact that these zombies are emerging from this viscous neon green fluid. I've thought about coating them with some water effects tinted green once they're painted, but then I thought maybe it's magical and it doesn't stick to the zombies? Because if I want to do some glowing green effects on them, most of it would then be lost if I then coated everything greenish.. *sigh* Also, I don't see the glow from the green as being very strong, so I haven't extended it very far from any spots the green touches.
Anyway, here's what I've got so far!
Does anyone know what the official name of this is? And who sculpted it?
Thanks for looking! Comments welcome and appreciated..
