cookjimjr Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Great Job! My only critique would have to be on the basing, it looks to need a little clean up, but if this is a gaming piece it is not that big a deal. Most of what I do is closer to display style, so I sometimes get caught up in that mode of thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_dragonbane Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 yea basing is one of the thing i still have not got down yet. it was gonna be fore DnD but the group i was with kick me out cause i put my family and work a head of them. i plan on doing another one of this mini and try some new thing for the base just need to find a good way of doing them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 just repaint sides of the base and you;ll have a really nice mini :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilhalfling Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Im painting the same mini. Mine came out too dark, and moncromatic. I wasn't sure about the end of the tail, but looking at your pictures I see a buckle, which means you painted it correctly as artificial. I am definately going to steal your choices of which pieces of armor to add addtional color to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dks Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 @lubo_dragonbane: Nice work! Glad my WIP helped you on the skin. Did you mean to say "first mini I have done in over [some span of time, like a year]"? What is the symbol on the shield? I agree with @cookjimjr and @Nameless, a quick coat of black paint on the sides of the base will give it a nice, neat finish. @Evilhalfling: Yeah, there's armor (tightly buckled on) at the tip of the tail. When I sculpted him, I figured that full plate armor on the tail would be too heavy, but the end of the tail could be swishing around as he fought, so it deserved some protection. Not necessarily the most practical solution, I admit. Maybe I should have put leather or chain over the rest of the tail. Anyway, take photos of how your version looks now (dark and/or monochromatic though you may think it) and post it as a Work in Progress.

lubo_dragonbane Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks derek and yea that what I met. The symbol on shield is the crest for a guild I made in world of Warcraft name the Knights of the dawn. It was the first time I've tryed to free hand. I plan on painting another one of these but try nmm on the armor and weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdizzy001 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 just repaint sides of the base and you;ll have a really nice mini :) That is what I do. Repainting the sides of the base vastly improves the appearance of a miniature. Even for the simplest of bases looks great with a clean base.
