Reaper User Vaitalla Posted August 30, 2007 Reaper User Share Posted August 30, 2007 Okies, good deal. I was going to say in the other thread that I really don't mind if people post questions in there, as part of the value of a good WIP thread is the Q&A in my opinion. Cries of "oh noes not more pink!!", "what a hack!" and "that stinks!!" can of course be reserved for this thread. --Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyrmgear Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Gads I love this model. The first time I seen it I was doing a search in Fig Finder under 'giant'; I imediately ordered it... poor girl has been sitting in the studio since... And please allow me to thank you as well Anne for sharing this with us (now to go find that primer...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortiana27 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I really enjoyed reading the Maria WIP thread, and look forward to watching this new WIP too. I've been looking everywhere for painting tips books out there for miniature painters, but haven't really been too successful. After reading Anne's WIP thread, and learning so much just from that ... I can't wait to see her book finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerridwyn1st Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) I really like the bronze-esque look to the skin you have going on. I've noted that a lot of times Werner's sculpts could be done with African American skin tones and they look great. The high cheekbones, full lips and almond shaped eyes really imply that. I'm loving seeing her skin tones done with dark bronze. You can still see a little of the blueish tinge in the lip color. Will you bring that up? A blueish tinge to the lips would really make her look like she's wearing some funky lipstick. I get a kick out of hearing about people using Tamiya Fine White. I started talking about the stuff about three years ago. I think I mentioned it to you at the Origins where I met you. The reaction then was, "What's that?" It's cool to hear so many painters say they wouldn't use anything else on their top-end models.

Stubbdog Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Just want to say I LOVE that bronzeish skin. I am definitely going to be using it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleujenna Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I really love how the complimentary colors are working on her face. Her blue black lip and bronze cheekbones are really stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blueish tinge to the lips would really make her look like she's wearing some funky lipstick. Ummm, Mel, her lips are blue already...oh wait, you probably only saw the first pic. Heh. Yeah, I did it already, look at the most recent pic. It's Blue Liner roughed up with a couple of highlights of Blue Liner and Pure White. --Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the way you are bringing up the blue on the lips. Really cool. I wouldn't have thought blue lips would work, but on her it's great. It does look like she's wearing one of those funky lipstick colors. Edited August 30, 2007 by Cerridwyn1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versutus Vulpes Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Looking cool so far. Question - Are you doing OSL on this piece, or are you working from one side to the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker22 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Like the way the skin color is turning out, This is going to look cool!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayin Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Upon seeing the color you used for your base, I thought that you were going to do a very dark, blue-black skin (not drow, more African). Boy, was I shocked to see the bronzes! I love the contrast, though. Personally, I would tone down the arm musculature a bit, but that's just me. As you said, depends on how stylized the rest gets. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with the gems! So, one question - is she going to be a redhead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortiana27 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Out of curiousity, what is the size category of this particular fig? If she's bigger than the usual Reaper fig, I might consider trying to paint one too - as practice to learning how to highlight and do all the stuff you mention (glaze, etc). Oh, and is it possible to buy the "Learning to Paint" instruction cards/booklets on their own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
