The Dark Future set combines our love of science fiction and building atmosphere on our miniatures. This set can be used for dramatic shadows, non-metallic metals, night-time atmospheres or just to enhance colours you've already used.

Miniature Review

For the second of the Squidmar paint sets I decided to paint a the elf. I wanted to try out the OSL techniques learnt from the previous orc lava base, this time with a one directional purple hue.

The miniature itself has a great base to practice on, and there are a few different textures from the armour to the cloak to the skin that allows for a variety of techniques to be used.

Painting Techniques

Rather than list all the paints I used for each part of the miniature I'll point to the tutorials I followed. All paints were from the Squidmar sets, mostly from those listed above included in the box set.

Roundup

As previously I limited myself to a couple of hours to wrk my way through the tutorial and get the miniature to a point I could call it done. I'm really happy with the results, the OSL effect is really striking and I think I've managed to achieve a half decent NMM effect on the armour. I still need a lot more time and practice to get the hang of it but it's a good first step.
