03667: Nonalla Ellinad, Elf Wizard

[sirgourls 1471]

Forgive the poor quality of this; I'm both getting back to painting after a bit away and am taking pictures with my cell, so they aren't going to be super-pretty. Not sure how I would make them look less terrible with what I have available, but I would happily accept pointers!

 

Anyway, this is my attempt at Nonalla. I really like this sculpt, but I like less what I did with it. Very monotone. I may strip and repaint her and try making her more colorful.

From What I can see, she's not bad at all . I wouldn't strip her so that you can look back at her later and see how far you've come

I also really like this particular sculpt and painted her up last year for a friend during an exchange.

 

Vegascat has good advice there, keep her and look back on her and see how far you've come in a year or two after you've been painting some more.

 

Also, I'd suggest a neutral background so that your camera can properly focus on her, more information about taking pics of minis can be found here.

 

Just keep at it, have fun and ask for advice!

Looks good to me so far.

 

Some minis can get away with a monotone look.

 

Also, what Vegascat said...True

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys. And the link! I'll certainly keep plugging away.
