dude Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Yet another christmas present for my gaming group. I picked up the mini and base at GenCon this year. I added a sword on his hip and slapped him on a new base. I wanted to keep the ice cycles hanging off the rock clear, but I muffed them up. Oh well.

Mini Killer Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Great choice of colors, the greens are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dks Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Nice use of the darker & lighter greens and the gold & silver to make an interesting color-composition. The added sword seems clunky compared to his existing swords and overall proportions -- it isn't from an elf model, right? I like the base with the rocks & icicles, but the extreme contrast of the rock (looks like pure white over pure black, or at least a very dark gray) makes the rest of the figure look dull by comparison. Try using less contrast on the base (simpler highlighting & shading) and then more contrast somewhere on the figure, where you really want us to look. To show off your work better, you might find it useful to do three things: 1) crop away the outer parts of the photo; 2) shoot straight on and/or adjust the draping of your backdrop, so there isn't such an obvious tilt; and 3) use a different backdrop altogether (I use colored drawing paper), since the moire effects on this shiny fabric are distracting. Anyway, congrats to your gaming group for having a generous painter for a friend. Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks for the feedback! Constructive criticism is always welcome. I need a stand for the minis in the light booth, I think. The tripod to stablize the camera makes it difficult for even pictures (straight-on shots, that is to say). Yeah, the sword is definitely not of elven make, but he's collected a rather extensive assortment of weapons over the years, so one or two might have been dwarven at some point!

bikerdrew Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I like this paint job - but I think the sword looks a bit too chunky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
