Jabberwocky Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Coming along great! The teeth and claws are spot on--nice and nasty-dirty. The left arm looks very good as well. The highlighting (especially on the palm) is awesome. /nitpick mode My only critique on the left hand would be the pinky side of the palm; the shade is a bit abrupt and needs just a hint of smoothing. It looks a little to "vertical" in the pic as well. The palm at that point is more curvy, so I'd also bring in a bit of your basecoat and perhaps a wee bit of highlighting as well at the top of the muscle group nearest the wrist. /nitpick mode off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonelf3 Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks mercoutlaw and Jab! I totally agree Jabberwocky - the shade is too 'quick' in some areas. That I'll change. Thanks for the tip, I knew something was off. Ok, here's my news. I'm going to work for a month,, and I won't be painting. Then I get back, stay a week, and go off one more week. So as of today.... I have two weeks to finish! Good thing I'm a good crunch worker. Thanks to all who posted, you help me so much. And I will see you all on about the 27th of July.

demonelf3 Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Necromancy. Took 4th at GenCon. Huzzah! Pics of complete work when my camera's fixed in show off. Thanks for the loads fo help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet_of_Menoth Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I saw this at gencon. It turned out really cool. Though I did notice that the elve's swords were kind of bent. Did you intentionally do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonelf3 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Actually, the figs came like that. I was surprised too. Meridh's sword did get a tiny bit more bent in transit, but not too much, and Danithal's look like that. Thanks for the comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted August 20, 2009 Moderator Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'll wait in gleeful anticipation of the final pictures. Congrats on 4th place! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidVC04 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Ditto. I'm anxious to see the finished product. And 4th at GenCon is SUPERB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 haven't kept up on this one, but I love what you've done with the trolls. Epically the way the purple & blue goes together so well. Eventually I wanna get & paint up a trollblood. I'm just not sure which one I really like to do that, ha ha. RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonelf3 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks for the kind words! haldir: I think the Troll Axer is a great place to start. It was my first, and mine turned out great, probably my best piece. Easy to assemble, good quality PP mini, it's really a good fig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastman Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I just saw this thread so my input is too late to be useful, so for what it's worth: When the best European pastry chefs in the world decorate round cakes, they put the focal point in the upper right quadrant (2 o'clock). This was relevant to your initial round base design. Apparently some pastry scientist figured out that the eye starts looking there, then travels counter clockwise back to the focal point. Another thing that comes to mind is the Fibonacci Nautilus Shell spiral that's used in the composition of fine art paintings on canvas. http://www.sacredarch.com/sacred_geo_exer_shell.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonelf3 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Dude, that's awesome! I'll be sure to use that in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyreos Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 This is finished isn't it? Come on we're dying to see some pics :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonelf3 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Pyreos, it's finished, but the aperture on the camera I use is 2.7, and the pics I took came out terrible. When my good camera is fixed.... patience young one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyreos Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hey, just because you're a better painter doesn't mean you can start acting older than me, I've got you by some years buddy. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
