Turhan Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I finally finished these two. I'm not happy with the faces, even for tabletop grade, but they come pretty close to what I call good enough. I like the red robe on the conjuror. I did some wet blending on it and I'm starting to get a feel for that technique -- but it requires so much patience! His vest is a bit messy and my brush control needs some more practice.... again. And for Dain, well he is a bit rough around the edges, just like the player who calls him "Me." The metallic paint on the axe looks so much better on the game table than in a close up, but I refuse to do the NMM- I make it look like gooey plastic when I try. This is such a good sculpt that I like to keep a copy of the pro painted image from Reaper's gallery in my Mini Pics folder- just so I can admire it. thanks for looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voladilk Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Both look great mate! I really like the cloak on the conjuror, very nice work on that one. The face is not too bad but I can see what you mean. As to the dwarf...wow. Very nice work! The horns are great and I like the metal-work. Very well done!

fieldarchy Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 The red cloak looks really nice. Overall, your painting is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlavanish Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Nice work. I especially like the reds on the back of Aaron's cloak. Blending could be better overall on other parts, like the sleeves and pants, but you have some good contrast going on. Keep at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krztoff Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Aaron looks great to me. I shrunk the image down to roughly actual size, and the contrast really makes him pop, and that cloak is really well done. The work on the dwarf is good, especially from the back, but from the front he looks a little Christmasy. The shield looks great. Don't knock yourself for not going the NMM route. Metallic is the original and still the best, and you've done it well here. -Krztoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think you are short-changing yourself on Dain; I think he came out quite well (despite the fact that we are looking at him 20x his normal size) and would call him better than average "tabletop" quality. For using a minimal amount of color, his helmet horns look really good, as does his facial hair. Good reddish hair is fairly difficult to pull off, and his is spot-on. Nice work! ~v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
