MamaGeek Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 This is Dark Sword Miniatures' Night's Watch Archer. I painted him to serve as the gaming mini for a friend of mine, so he's classic ranger all the way. Instead of playing with the color palettes here, I aimed for pushing up my skills to make him stand out through the quality of the paint job. I hope I've succeeded. I think, at least, that he's one of my personal best. Here you can see him painted with the Night's Watch scheme. And here is the CMON link, if you want to vote for my "Classic Ranger" version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikerdrew Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Nice work. The shading/highlighting on the hair and the cloak are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironhammer Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 That's awesome! I like the classic look, and I find the green cloak particularly attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonelf3 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Like it a lot, it seems that you smoothed out the cloak a lot. He looks really terrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Very nice paint job, but the sculpt just makes him look odd and somewhat stereotypical of elves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaGeek Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Thank you, everyone, for the kind words. Very nice paint job, but the sculpt just makes him look odd and somewhat stereotypical of elves. This figure will be used for tabletop gaming as an elf character, but sculpt is actually a human. Dark Sword Minis are sculpted to have more realistic proportions than your typical fantasy figures (e.g. Reaper), which tend to have somewhat exaggerated features, especially the face and hands. You're probably just not used to seeing that, and I admit he looks odd on my shelf next to all my other minis, but standing alone he actually looks right.
