Minimal effort, maximum impact, these are the customs that are most fun to make.

But this wasn't one of those, i had to learn to sculpt fire and paint it too.

Searching for tutorials on how to sculpt flames gets you a lot of hits for hot glue videos with varying degrees of success, or sculpting little torches for minis. In the end I just said screw it and winged it as usual, it wasn't that hard! I was going for a reverse mohawk that flows from back to front because i'm not into ghost rider's usual flaming afro. Also, I think it looks better with the mad max/dystopian clothes.

I was dreading painting the flames on this fig, but it turned out alright.

Steps:
•Paint all the flames pale yellow

•Give the flames a wash of white. Let this sink into all the grooves to give the flames an inner white hot intensity. It's okay if you get low spots that are solid white.

•If you have some of the yellow from before, add a little red to make a light orange, carefully drybrush it onto the upper 3/4ths of the flames. Do a sparse coat, it doesn't have to be solid orange.

•Use an orange-red color and drybrush it on the highest spots. This color represents areas of the flame that are farthest from the center, they're cooler so they're darker.

•Make a very diluted wash with the light orange from before. This helps blend the colors together, but make sure it's transparent enough so the low white spots get tinted but don't completely turn orange.

The skull is basic enough, basecoat with brown, drybrush a bone color, give the teeth a dark wash, stain a few high spots with yellow to simulate a flame reflection.
