Popular Post ungoreatstefan Posted March 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2013 TOTALLY not Tanis Half Elven from Dragonlance, nope! When I saw this miniature I knew I had to paint it as Tanis, my favorite character from my favorite bad (but great) fantasy novels. There are a few other ones that are very Dragonlance inspired that I'm hoping to get with my next paycheck and paint them up appropriately. The edge of the base still needs to be cleaned up - but it's basically done. Pretty pleased with the bowstring I added, even though it's not quite perfect. I tried to give him a very autumnal base as my first exposure to Tanis was obviously Dragons of Autumn Twilight in the summer of my 13th year.

Pingo Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The bowstring is not perfect? The colors, the basing, the presentation... This is a really attractive figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Darsc Zacal Posted March 19, 2013 Moderator Share Posted March 19, 2013 Nicely done on both the mini and the base. That mini is own my own Darksword to get list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRaven Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 That bowstring is amazing. what did you use? The base is equally so, but that I can at least guess at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ungoreatstefan Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thanks everybody - I'm really pleased with this one. Painting about a miniature or so a week has really improved my painting since I really got down to business last fall. The bowstring is not perfect?The colors, the basing, the presentation... This is a really attractive figure. It is really nice and thank you, I just tend to be my own worst critic. Very nice. Love the muddy bottom of his cloak This was the first time I've really tried weathering and I think that it came out really nice for a first try. I'd like to experiment with it some more. I really like a "gritty" or more realistic looking miniature and I think that weathering really adds to that. Nicely done on both the mini and the base.That mini is own my own Darksword to get list. It's really a must have miniature if you ask me. It's just all around excellent. That bowstring is amazing. what did you use? The base is equally so, but that I can at least guess at. I used some woodland scenics tall grass. It worked out really well, I think I got the idea from a forum post somewhere? It's a little fiddly to work with, but once you get into place it looks like a great bowstring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evergrin Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Beautiful colors and basing. Green is a little strong in my eyes, but that's just me. Thank you for showing. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It's very nicely done, though I feel the dirt on the cloak is a bit heavy handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nameless Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 my favorite bad (but great) fantasy novels. my sentiment exactly colours work well together, you achieved great autumn forest effect. sides of the base could be tidied though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thes Hunter Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Very nice. Love the blending I see in the clothes, the base and the color scheme are top notch. Love the dirt/muck/mud stain up the back of his cloak. Can't wait to see more of your minis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
