Stern Kestrelmann Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) Yes, I painted the sisters together. Aedui was probably one of the most difficult models I've ever attempted. Between her tricky assembly and wild action pose (i.e. lots of tough painting angles), she kept me guessing all the way. Still, I think she turned out well. Enjoy.

Truthrevisited Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Very nice indeed. I really like the smooth fleshtones and muted green of the clothing. Also, the hair is quite nice. Overall, I say job well done mate; it gives me something to aspire to. TR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugluk69 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 That hair is very cool. I like both of your elves. I am assuming the hair is seperate pieces??? I don't think I've seen a WK piece I didn't like, and you have made these minis pop!! (Ummmm Redheads) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePolo Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Man, I love both of these models... your color choices for both of them are spot on, and as usual, your 'oh so smooth' skin tones are 'oh so smooth'. That really works with this mini. My only real probem with it is the quality of the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztidjuggalo78 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Ok thats it no more posting Stern! some of us are still learning how to paint and its almost impossible to continue with the quality of work that your putting out distracting me!!

Stern Kestrelmann Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hey thanks guys. Yes, I may try and re-shoot these tomorrow. More lights, bring me more lights! Okay, T78 one more Freebooter model, then DHL #3004, 2982, 2967, and 2978 in that order! I promise! Again, look for a re-shoot on these tomorrow night.

Sergeant_Crunch Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 You know, if this is what you do after not painting all summer, I'd be even more jealous at what they would look like if you painted year-round. Both are wonderful paintjobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Cute lil gal. It must have been a pain to get her all put together. Great work as usual, SK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePolo Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Is that eyeshadow Stern!? What kind of warrior-maiden has time to do her makeup before she goes into battle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelcore Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Out of the pair, this one's my favorite, bro! The things I said about the other one with the sword apply to this one (Darker shading on the NMM, contrasting hair-color, etc, etc), except the part about the lips. You nailed the face on this one! I'm in complete shock of how much this one reminds me of my friend Lynn. The way you painted the face, the resemblence is uncanny. I may have to pick up one of these and paint oine for her! Again, Brutha-Stern. Awesome. You've come so far, man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Fantastic! This is my favorite Freebooter fig from the pose and the subject and this is a superb paint job! I particularly like the color choices of the warm browns. Very wood-elfy indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stern Kestrelmann Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Thanks guys. Yes, Polo a little eye shadow seemed fitting. For the model that is... Kel- Your friend huh? Well, talking her into trying on Audui's outfit might be a tough one... Again, thanks again for the kind words and honest feedback (Kel).

Decado Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hey Stern, Sorry for the late reply bro. I think you have done a great job on this model, in fact there is not a part I do not like. I have her sister and need to add this one to my collection. Now I have a guide for both of them. Decado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
