For this project I envisioned a scene where Gambit is battling some super villain all night and the next round of battle started at daybreak. I thought the Knight Models sculpt fit the scene since his downturned face and him leaning on his staff conveyed a sense of weariness. The metal cast wasn’t the easiest to paint - oh we’re so spoiled with resin - but it turned out ok and it was a good exercise in ambient lighting with a hard lateral key light. Not the easiest lighting situation to achieve but it was fun to paint and experiment. Thanks as always to my painting mentor and friend - the master Alfonso Giraldes, Miniature Art Academy for the amazing curriculum you tirelessly put out, Will Hahn and the LXP - your feedback and tweaks have definitely elevated my work, and my local Chicagoland Paint Team buddies! You all are amazing and make miniature painting so rewarding!
