tanker22 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Finally got her done after a hard time of it, and with Fruggs permission to post, here she is. Think she came out pretty well overall, it was my first attempt at doing a cloak with a pattern like this, doesnt look as good as the cover art but if it did I suppose I would be painting for a manufacturer then. Still have a few little touch ups to do, some things I noticed in the pics Hope you like it Fruggs Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versutus Vulpes Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Awesome stuff Tanker! I think the cloak looks fantastic... As does the rest... nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliekickflip Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 The cloak reminds me of the Mexican blanket I have on my bed. Great job on this one. Cool mini to. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antnol Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 The skin is perfect I must say. And the cloak is great too. If you put your stuff on ebay I would love to get a hold of one of your minis. Keep them coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lee Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Wow, that's a great paint job. As VV said the cloak is very realistic. I know Fruggs will be pleased. John Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker22 Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Thank you for the comments everyone. As for the cloak, the origonal box art had alot more colors on it, very well done and quite abit beyond my skill. Guess I just keep looking at that as a comparison is all. Know I shouldnt but I do. Antnol- What are you talking about? Your alot better painter than I am, I'm sure you could do one of these up no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Jack Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Dude, that rocks my socks. Not least of all because the subject happens to be one of my personal heroes from antiquity... (Much love for chicks with pointy sticks.) Great paintjob... How tall is that thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlady Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Awesome job, Chris! She looks fantastic! The pattern on her cloak is really nice, and blends well with her armor and skin tones. Very period! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurityThruFire Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Wow Tanker, your pieces just keep getting better and better. She really came out amazing. The cloak is excellent. The skin came out really life like, as a matter of fact the whole mini really conveys an air of realism. Two thumbs up man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker22 Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Thanks again guys, Guess I'm my own worst critic when it comes to painting. I was going for more of a realistic toned down look with her, looks like I might have got it by all your comments. Took alot of playing around to get the armor right. It was done in a NMM with just alittle highlighting in metallics. Found the recipe on accident really. The old bronze look came from a glaze of evergreen thicket over a brown/ yellow ocher and a wash of reaper brown ink. The pics seemed to come out a bit blurry though, must have been a glare of something, probably the white background. Think I had this problem before once. Have to see if I can fix that next time Mad jack- She is pretty decent size, 75mm is about 5 or 5 1/2" tall. Seems bigger than some of the 90mm stuff I've done. I've noticed the kits from Europe are different compared to are scale, she is bigger than reapers 73mm sophie though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchantra Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Tanker: Wow. I've been drooling over this mini for months because I want to paint it up. You beat me to it! That cloak is awesome, great job on the plaid. Plaid takes some skills. I've painted it before and it can be a pain in the bupkiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
