The third miniature I finished painting from Reaper Bones’ third Kickstarter<\/a>. I was impressed by how much character was captured in this sculpt by James Van Schaik. It was one of those miniatures that almost painted itself.<\/p>\n

For the body, I started with a flesh colored undercoat followed and followed with a coat of reddish brown for underfur. Then I dry-brushed on several increasingly dark layers.<\/p>\n

My primary Dungeon Master in University had an order of monks in one campaign that drank potions to transform, temporarily, into Werebears. The image stuck with me which is why I decided to give this Werebear a saffron loincloth…which may have been a monk’s robe prior to the transformation taking hold. That also inspired the beads on the necklace being jade.<\/p>\n

I might go back later to fine tune some of the detailing – particularly on the necklace – but all in all I’m very happy with how this miniature turned out. Per usual, I finished up with the DIP method<\/a> and then a matte spray<\/a> for double the protection without the shine.<\/p>\n

Edit:<\/strong> I was far from thrilled with how the photos for our poor old Werebear turned out. I’ve since taken another set in a photobox<\/a> that are much clearer and a better representation of our friend the Werebear.<\/p>\n
