Stern Kestrelmann Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 I should clarify that I really like this, Stern. My comment on the purples was because I'd already painted this mini twice in purple (once for Jenova, and again for eastman on a commission). Shortly after that, The Masses (or was it The Shine?) posted a purple Hyrekia. I understand Flynn. I was gonna try blue, then red, but the purple just seemed so... right. It was yours and DS' Hyrekia that inspired me! SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I understand Flynn. I was gonna try blue, then red, but the purple just seemed so... right. It was yours and DS' Hyrekia that inspired me! SK *Disclaimer* Mine was actually reddish brown. Red leather with pinkish brownish sleeves. */Disclaimer* I was going to go purple with mine as well, until I saw her patch which led me to believe she was a little rough around the edges so I decided on leather instead of silk. I like how this one's turning out though, +24 modifier at this point to any Charisma based skill checks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stern Kestrelmann Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 Well kids, I've got some great shots of Hyrekia. However, I need to find somewhere to host the images so they can be linked for viewing. Hopefully, the board member I sent the pics to will be able to post 1 of 2 of the images for me as a link... Otherwise, I will posting the finished model on CMON, then setting up a link from there. SK, putting his shirt back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stern Kestrelmann Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 Thanks LS. You rock! Now remember gang these phots do contain some nudity, so please use good judgement when viewing. Parental discretion is advised SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Very interesting take on her, SK... I like it. Now we need to get you "up north" for a weekend! Hmmm... I might just have to borrow the idea and do her myself. Although I won't be painting her purple... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stern Kestrelmann Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 Thanks Robert. Yeah, we'll make a plan and I'll get up there this winter. The larger images are much cooler. I had a vision on this model and I went with it. I was able to add the nipple area by layering paint in a round pattern at the end of the breast area. It turned out pretty nice. I'll post the finished version on CMON soon. A link to the "Show Off" section will follow. SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstLevelFighter Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Lovely. Her face has such a doll-like quality, she's really got a lot of character. Your leather is gorgeous, especially on the book at her back. Different tetures, all well-suggested by your handling of the various materials. Great shading, smooth highlights, spot-on color choices that pull the elements together. I don't think the nudity is appropriate on this mini. I have no problem with nudity, and there's nothing gratuitous or inapproprite about the treatment, but it seems out of character against the rest of the model. This is an objective critique, based on the way the character of the mini is suggested by your handling of her exquisite face, the colors of her gown, etc. That said, the painting is excellent, on par with the rest of the piece. I hesitate to voice this, but I don't want to deny you an honest, complete opinion. Your painting is beautiful, and you have really given the model life enough to suggest a character. Keep 'em coming! Well done. Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyIzmit Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I like the "nudity" touch. I find that it fits, myself, because it is not gratuidous or done in an over the top sort of way. I think it excentuates her femininity and grace. Yeah, and I am sorry I cant spell. It is just a flaw that I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stern Kestrelmann Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 Thanks again for all your feedback gang. I respect your opinion FLF and appreciate your honesty. Believe me, I struggled with whether or not I should "modify" the model but elected to go with it. It was a vision after all... HOwever, next time I paint her, she won't be purple and she won't be topless... SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
