PROJEKTEProjekte von Gemalten Gestalten, Skulpturen und Skalenmodellierung

On this picture you can see the process I used to create the base. First I find a piece of wood, then I used clay and sculpted a nest for the anvil. I sculpted the pit with a big slice to put in it the resin lava later so we can have the feeling that the lava is making the earth crack.

I painted the base with mat flat black, then I used grey primer to create the marks for the lava rivers, I paintied in fire red the following marks, then I used gloss varnish, yellow and fire red paints to create freehand the lava. I covered the all base with black cracking paint. When it cracked the lava underneath became visible.

I painted the dwarfs with bright colors on the cloth and natural colors for the rest. I found different colors for the beards and the hair so they all have they own looks. 

I painted the base of the Anvil in a realistic stone way. Using lightening wash to make it looks real. I painted the metal in a super realistic way the increasy the naturel aspect of the diorama. I brushed it many many times with metallic paints. I used an antic gold paint to create contrast on the anvil and the smith. 

I used the same process that I se to paint the lava to create the fire in the smith. 

It took me a long time to paint the dwarfs because the miniatures are full metal and super super detailed.

When the painting process of the dwarfs was done I created the lights and OSL with my airbrush. I also used UV resin (that need to be cured under a UV lamp) tinted with intensity ink to make realistic lava.
