Reaper, #2246 Elquin the Daring

[Niloc]

Here's the near completed mini ... I have to re-do the bottle I sculpted for my outta GS, but so far so good.

After I got the basic colors on I proceeded to add shading ... simply black/brown washes on the hair, boots and pants, staff head etc.

 

Then I worked on the cloak by adding layers of grays up to white.

 

You can't really see the color that well on the trim of the cloak, but it's a royal purple with black backed yellow buttons ... man, that was a lot of dots :-)

 

Finally, I gave him a light spray of mattle finish, (I stop now and add a coat of protection to insure I don't start rubbing paint off) and continue on with some more details. As you can see by the pics, there's lots left to do.

Here's a shot of my first gem:

(man, I gotta work on better camera fu).

 

Any comments and suggestion really needed ... having a heck of a time getting the bottle to look good, or atleast like a potion of some sort

well, are you done with the over coat?... cuz while the inner clothes look cool. the over coat kind of looks bland

Hmm, looking at the pictures I don't think the cloat is bland so much as a bit washed-out/over-exposed. But with the inner clothing in dark colors and the coat a lighter one, it's a hard setup to photograph.

 

I like it, particularly the little fussy detail bits and the basing.

 

Is the trim on the tunic metallic-looking in real life?

I just asked question regarding potions and glass objects over in the Painting Advice forum. I've been pointed in the direction of a few good examples, I'd suggest checking it out.
