Shadow Spectres Commission

The second part of the Shadow Spectres commission. The phoenix lord and the spectres were painted at the same time so use the same tones, glazes and run along the same through process of expressing the eldritch. 

If you would like to learn to paint these why not get involved in Lil'Legend's online tutor programme?

Irillyth Phoenix Lord of the Shadow Spectres

This is my third version of the Phoenix Lord. The client collects a Craftworld Ulthwe force, but due tot he shifting nature of colour scheme amongst the aspect shrines I was given carte blanche to do what I wanted within the sombre context of the world and the aspect path itself. 

I wanted to concentrate on the enrich nature of the Eldar. I wanted saturated colours falling into pure black. The armour is a dark blue with green glazes (indeed every colour on this model has some portion or green, even the metallics) to unite everything. 

Keep your eyes peeled for the rest of the squad soon to be displayed.

Irillyth the Shade of Twilight Phoenix Lord of the Shadow Spectres

A commission for a friend that I begged him to paint. I knew I wanted a crack at this miniature since the first time I saw him. A really beautifully composed piece that was a joy to hold let alone paint.

Like the other shadow spectres, I painted the Pheonix Lord to make it seem he was constructed solely of light. I used purple as the spot colour to work with the cyan hues of the armour.

I hope you enjoy Chris.

Shadow Spectres

What fantastic miniatures these are! I tried to paint these as if they are constructed of light, using purple, green and blue washes to build up, what I think it, an interesting white armour.
