tbrehaut Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 This was a bit of a challenge for me to work on blending, and especially moving away from "triads" to incorporate other colours. Not sure how effectively I acheived this goal, but as this probably ranks up there with my best efforts, I'm pretty happy. I was a little sorry to see it go, but know that it's going to a good home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonelf3 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Real solid piece all around. That really does look like yoda, a bit more sinister maybe. The reds looks pretty good, did you shade with green there? Maybe they need a bit more brightness, but then again for a shabby druid they're good. And I really love the chicken on the belt, bravo!

Prophet Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Does look like Yoda actually though much bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizard Hlavaz Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Very nice. Great color scheme. This is one of my favorite models. I've been meaning to paint mine for a while now. You did a great job. Just super. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 This is what I love about miniature exchanges. This is a figure that I would have never purchased for myself, but I totally love it! Tim snapped some good shots of the mini, but I still think it looks even better in person. I am honored to have received such a fine piece, and rest assured that it has gone to a good home where it is now with the rest of my favorite miniatures in the glass display case for everyone to see. Thanks again, Tim! ~v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I love seeing how others paint up this li'l guy. He's awesome..and so full of details. I like how you did up the dead chicken. That seems to me to be the real challenge is getting dead meat to look like dead meat. GREAT work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilwarin Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I think you did a fantastic job on this figure! I've never seen him before :) He looks almost exactly like Yoda! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyHorde Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Great work! I really only see a vague resemblance to Yoda, and I have to squint to see it. Doesn't matter to me because the paint job is rock solid all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbrehaut Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thanks for all the kind words! Once I get my new house set up I hope to get back into a painting groove again. The reds looks pretty good, did you shade with green there? Maybe they need a bit more brightness, but then again for a shabby druid they're good. And I really love the chicken on the belt, bravo! I painted this over a fairly long span of time so I can't remember if I shaded with green or not. It's possible. I do know that I used the GW washes frequently -- that's one of the ways I tried to tie all the colours together with that dirty colour. I really tried to avoid any bright colours on this piece -- but I found it pretty hard to get enough contrast without getting too bright. Believe it or not, the chicken was actually petty easy -- white primer with a couple of washes and it kind of came together all on its own. I love seeing how others paint up this li'l guy. He's awesome..and so full of details. The number of details is ridiculous -- I kept thinking I was almost done and then there's another piece that needs to be done! In addition to the chicken, I was pretty pleased with the dead-face hand bag, and the free hand on the potion bottle (my first attempt I think). And then there were a few parts where I had no idea what I was even painting. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
