About product

Aslass, the Seer, a 35 mm figure

A fantasy figure from the AK Interactive brand. The figure of 35 mm gives the size of the figure, not the scale of a model. It is supplied unpainted, so the color scheme and the technique are up to you. An interesting route with figures of this kind is underpainting, that is a colored underlayer that you let show through the layers above it.

Underpainting and gradual highlighting

Underpainting is an old painterly technique that works as well on figures as it does on canvas. The principle is simple: over the primer you lay a colored base that is not meant to be seen directly but is meant to influence everything that comes after it. A cool blue-green underpainting beneath skin pulls the shadows into a natural tone, while a warm ocher underpainting beneath cloth brightens the whole area instead. Over the underpainting the colors are then applied as glazes, and only where they are meant to cover are they brought up to strength. Gradual highlighting from an underpainting has the advantage that the shadows do not have to be painted at all, because they are already laid on the figure in advance; you only reduce the area onto which you lay the lighter layers. With each further step the pass gets smaller, until the last and lightest is left on a very small area. The mistake to avoid is covering the underpainting completely with the second layer. In that case you have done extra work for no effect whatsoever.

Painting tips

  • Choose the underpainting according to where you want to move the shadows of the given area.
  • Lay the layers over the underpainting as glazes so that it stays effective.
  • Apply each further step of light to a smaller area than the one before.
  • Leave the lightest step for the most prominent points alone.

Who the figure is for

  • For painters who want to try underpainting and building color with glazes.
  • For collectors of fantasy figures for a display case.
  • For advanced modelers looking for a standalone project.

The figure is supplied unpainted. Paints, glue and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

A colored underlayer that is not seen directly but influences the tone of all the layers above it. A cool underpainting pulls the shadows cold, a warm one brightens the area.

If you apply opaque paint over the whole area, yes, and then the whole job is wasted. Lay the layers over the underpainting as glazes and cover only where the form really calls for it.

Three or four are plenty, but each must be on a smaller area than the one before. Leave the lightest step for a few of the most prominent points alone, or it loses its effect.
