Finding myself with some purples and reds still on the palette and the long-abandoned Spooky Lady within arm’s reach, I’m randomly trying to improve this older coloured NMM attempt by boosting contrast.

A Spooky Lady recap! This is a miniature display bust of a veiled and crowned undead lady in heavy spiked armour. Only two sets of colours are currently in use: the armour is picked out in purples and pinks while her veil, scarf and sash share the same red tones. Extreme highlights are placed to suggest that the purple surfaces are ‘shiny’. A small cast shadow from one of the spikes has been painted over the scarf to help imply directional light.

Shiny, shiny, shiny knee of purple…
An increasingly non-canonical He-Man-adjacent skele-man.
Skele-man _triumphantly_ raising a lack-of-hand aloft.
A spooky lady, zenithal primed to highlight light volumes. One of the armour panels is being painted in various shades of purple, the stark changes of contrast aiming for a non-metallic-metal effect.
The same spooky lady, now with a spooky red sash.
Starting to add the first sketchy texture marks to differentiate materials on the Spooky Lady.
A pointy bit of the Spooky Lady may be casting a small pointy shadow, or her spooky cape may just need a wash.
