Caffiene Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I think that's Darksword's Cersei Lannister. You think correctly. Its on Marike Reimer's website (per Heisler's link) with the name, along with some of the other Game of Thrones minis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanael Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 ...It's probably easiest with white or light coloured cloth like this, and there are a few other helpful colour considerations. This is one of the minis I've painted with the technique: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/jahenna/latest/02632#detail/IG_198_1 That's a really nice example of the sheer fabric, Wren. It's funny, I would have thought this technique would be most effective with high-contrast colors (like with Cersei, here; even though the teal is pale, it's very definitely NOT a flesh color), but your vampire lady is pretty spectacular even though the color of her pale, dead skin is fairly similar to her dress. I suppose that would make the blending a little easier. Yours is definitely one of the classes on my list for RCon...I have no idea how many I'll end up taking, though, so we'll see. I do have a few minis in the "eventually" queue that want this treatment, so I may at the very least pick your brain if you have a free moment.

Artists Wren Posted January 20, 2013 Artists Share Posted January 20, 2013 You're welcome to pick my brain in free moments, or at least as much of it as you can find. :-> 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Knight Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) this mini is one of the best for demonstrating the theory of sheer fabric It's a beautiful sculpt. Who sculpted it, and can it still be found? I'm just digging it out of the darkness of my goblin memory, but I think that's Darksword's Cersei Lannister. I'm pretty sure you're right. There's a thread in RPG.net's Other Games forum where we bemoan the incredibly talented painters out there, and I'm pretty sure this exact mini was featured there.

buglips*the*goblin Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yep, but even Marike Reimer had humble beginnings: http://www.destroyerminis.com/portfolio/number-1/gallery/gallery/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teskal Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 This is one of the minis I've painted with the technique: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/jahenna/latest/02632#detail/IG_198_1 Jahenna is one of the mini's I want to get sooner or later and want to paint it with the same technique. It is not possible for me to appear at the reaper con, so I will try the steps of the following link: wet-t-shirts and other sheer clothing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girot Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 This is one of the minis I've painted with the technique: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/jahenna/latest/02632#detail/IG_198_1 Jahenna is one of the mini's I want to get sooner or later and want to paint it with the same technique I picked her up years ago but probably never would have painted her until now. I honestly think I can pull this off, even the lace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny474 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Marike's free hand work is amazing. I didn't see that she had painted this particular Lanister, but I'm also thinking I should pick this one up and give it a shot. This kind of work always inpires me to do better.

MiniCannuck Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The painting DVD's available from Anne, Jenn and Marike are fantastic at helping painters advance in their technique. I think the biggest lesson to be learned is how thick/thin your paint needs to be. Once you figure this out, sheer fabric is A LOT less intimidating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClauseRose Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I figured this out on my own. All I did was paint as though there was no fabric, and then slowly layer on the shear colour with areas further away from the body showing more opacity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
