ogre Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Okay, so this is a first character mini. Back when I played D&D, I favored dwarves; this little guy appealed, with the belligerent pose and axe/shield combo, with heavy armor. Still working on my NMM effects. The helmet turned out well, as did the armor (the right leg especially, I thought). The axe could use some work, but it's an odd shape and I had a time figuring out how to pattern the effect. Anyway, with luck it'll get better. For what it's worth, I have a neurological disorder called essential tremors; basically a fancy term for having shaky hands. Runs in the family. So some of the really fine work is hard for me to do. I'm just happy to get this level or work! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evergrin Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 What a charismatic dwarf! Super fine colors, neat, and beautiful work. NMM looks cool. Only smart people get essential tremors, propranolol helps a bit, don't get discouraged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokingwreckage Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You seem to have adapted your technique to the tremors. My hands shake like crazy, no idea if it's related (dad's do too). Beautiful work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrift Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Very nice work indeed! I love dwarves so they're a quick way to my heart. The only thing I noticed that struck me as a little off was the shading on the top of the helmet. It appears that your light source was overhead based on the shading of the armor plates, leg plates, axe, and mustache. However, the top of the helmet appears to be lit from the front. You have very smooth blending and he looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturne Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Really nice colour choices on this, the blue armour really makes the beard and details pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanael Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Wow, this guy looks great! I'm digging on the beard. And while your NMM isn't the smoothest I've ever seen, it's pretty impressive nonetheless. I've always been too chicken to try it. I'd love to see more of that shield; the blues on it look nice.
