Sanael Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 So, it's been entirely too long since I've painted anything to speak of. Garrick, here, has been in the stage of "almost done" for several months, so I decided to finish him. There's a lot I like about him, not least of which the fact that his eyes have colored irises...and I painted those after a three-month hiatus. Hopefully, I'll post a few more things in the not-terribly distant future, depending on how eaten-alive I am when my next production goes into rehearsal...tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlady Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Very cool - certainly better than just "done now" quality. I really like his face, especially his eyes, and the metallics on his bell and the scythe blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparrow's Tail Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Very cool. I love the muted, dullish palette. It may not sound like a compliment but it is intended as one. The earthy, worn colours work very well for this little creature. The skin, leathers, and stick caught my eye. Not to mention his eyes. Good job. I love the sculpt of the face, his features seem overstated in a good way. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanael Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks for the kind words, folks. Sparrow's Tail, the character he represents is a druid, so I really wanted to connect him to the earth...I'm glad you seem to think I succeeded! Thanks. This is a really great sculpt; I'm a fan of Rackham's goblins, no question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toad Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Very nice color choices and well painted. The skin seems a departure grom 'normal' goblin skin. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanael Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Toad- glad you like the skin. I'm a big fan of taking the term "greenskin" and trying to figure out what that means in the natural color spectrum ("black" skin is actually varying degrees of dark brown, as is "red" skin, and so forth), and so my goblins and orcs tend to have a lot of grey or khaki skintones. Thanks for the good words. Chungek- All my paints (or near enough to all) all Reaper Master Series. Garrick, here, has a bunch of different greys on his skin. Basecoat in RMS 9172 Stormcover Grey. Blocked in major highlights with 9173 Coldstone Grey, then started adding 9174 Icy Grey to the Coldstone to pull the highlights up. This will look very cold; I then glazed all the skin with 9085 Shadowed stone, which has a lot more greeniness to it. I then highlighted with a very thin mix of 9086 Stone Grey and 9087 Weathered Stone, adding more Weathered Stone until I could use pure Weathered Stone by itself for the highest points. You can see, I drank the Kool-Aid on the RMS triad concept. If you don't have RMS, I know there is an equivalency chart for other brands' paints somewhere in the Painting Tips forum.
