Wendy Adams turned out to be a bit of a surprise. One of the base game miniatures, the quality wasn’t great, with much of the detail suggested rather than actually sculpted. But, once painted, I thought she turned out pretty good.
Once again, I tried to follow the colours of the card art, though there wasn’t a lot to go on. The red of her pinny was a simple coat of Scale75 Deep Red followed by a wash of Agrax Earthshade. I then reapplied the red to highlight.
For her dress, I followed my usual method for painting white – Base of Heavy Blugrey, then Ghost Grey, then Dead White. It’s a tried and trusted method and it works for me.
For her undershirt, I went with a base of Heavy Grey, a wash of Agrax Earthshade, then restored the Grey where needed. I then highlighted up with the Heavy Grey + Pale Flesh, increasing the Flesh until I was happy with it.
For the flesh, I used a base of Tan highlighted up with various mixes of Tan, Pale Flesh, Elfic Flesh, and Glacier Blue. I tried to aim for rosy cheeks but could have gone a little darker.
I added some Object Source Lighting (OSL) from the candle, though I kept it subtle because the candle doesn’t actually have a flame – the OSL doesn’t show up much in the images, apart from on her hair, but it is there… honest!
I like how Wendy turned out and it’s between her and Charlie as my favourite of the six I’ve done so far (three more to post yet!). Up next, I think it might be the grey man, Carson Sinclair.

Lol! Thanks Azazel – it would be, if I actually spent more time playing it than painting it!

I really like this figure, Justin! ๐ She’s come out really well! But, I have to ask, what is she holding in her left hand? Looks like maybe bread? It’s not too obvious on the character card either!

She’s holding an amulet attached to the necklace – yes, not too obvious is it!

I got totally confused and was thinking, “what the hell’s he done, it doesn’t look anything like Wednesday Addams” and then I read the headline again LOL!
The colours are beautifully done, the deep red in particular is gorgeous. I like your way of painting white clothing, I’ll have to give it a go one day!

Thanks Matt, that made me laugh – Wednesday Adams, lol!
I use that technique for painting white all the time, it’s easy but looks quite good.

Really nice mini and looks spot on with the card portrait. I really like the way her hair came out.

Thanks mate.
I painted her hair using Vallejo’s Smokey ink (a paint colour not actually an ink!) highlighting it up with Scale 75’s Blood Red. I further highlighted the candle side with Scale’s Mars Orange and washed the other side with Agrax Earthshade. It’s give quite a nice auburn look to it, which I like.

Really nice job on Wendy there, me ol’ mucker! ๐ She looks very lifelike and the colors you chose are perfect for the hair and her apron. Do you have many of the older MoM sculpts left to paint? I wouldn’t think so!
She’s somebody I should use more in the card game as I believe she’s pretty powerful, especially compared to Roland or Skids which haven’t aged well.

Thanks Jeff. Not too many left, maybe three or four – I’d need to check to see who actually came with the core set, as I can’t remember off the top of my head.
Wendy’s quite good in all the Arkham files games but gets overlooked because, well, she’s Wendy!

Lovely painting, you’ve done a great job matching the colours from the card art. I also enjoyed that the header photo has a trick of the light on her mouth that makes it look like she’s saying ‘Ooh, matron!’
