dks Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 When I was attending last month's ArtistCon -- and for the following week -- ReaperBryan and ReaperShannon let me stay in the guest room at their house. By way of thanks, I offerred to paint something for them. They asked me for "something that I had also sculpted", so I decided to revisit my cute little gnome, Ingrid Sparklestone. My first version of her was the gray-on-gray svirfneblin (deep gnome) that you've been able to see in the Reaper Gallery for a couple of years. This time, I brought her up to the surface, painted her as a redhead (like ReaperShannon herself) with a green outfit, and sculpted a couple of chipmunks on her base to keep her company. Here is the result: Hope you like her! Derek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalchaos Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Wow, wonderful paint job and the chipmunks are really cute. There is so many details on this miniature, it must be a real challenge to paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe b Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Your color choices are always fantastic. Everything pops so nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez5767 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Always inspirational to see your work. The slight rosey tone on her nose gives her a lovely cherubic feel to play of some of her more "sexy" features (lips, eyes). A question I've been meaning to ask you about your bases, do you use the pre-formed static grass clumps or the tried and true dab of glue, dab of grass method? thanks for showing! pez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally picturing a dungeon version with cave dwelling companions! Maybe a few cute mining hats... some shiny jewels... makes me want to reread The Rats of Nimh! Great stuff!
