A Holy Gnome and a Fightin' Gnome

[aku-chan]

Clearing my 'Shelf of Shame' of some half-finished stuff:-

 

 

Stonehavens Priestess and Brawler Gnomes.

 

Nothing special with these two, apart from the Priestess being a partially successful attempt at doing blonde hair that was different from my usual 'dirty blonde', but I think I did a decent job on them.

 

Comments and criticisms are, as always, most appreciated.

They are a CHARMING couple. I love your warm skin tones. VERY WELL DONE!

Yay! A comment! Thank you!

 

(I got surprisingly down in the dumps when this dropped off the front page without a reply.)

LOL, I've been at my paint desk, going nuts with the white horse.

Love you colors Aku-chan.

Your color control, and brush control are always amazing !

My pleasure...I was shocked that no one commented before moi. You must have left them speechless.

Aku-Chan;

as a person that loves communication I make it a point that when I click on like,

I say why I am liking this.  You will never see me like something without a comment.

Painting miniatures is a very solitary event, having some positive feedback enriches our experience,

and reinforces the soul.  We're pushing our envelope, and gentle touch makes us feel it was worth the effort.

Great job on this.

Love the blonde hair and the highlights on her ears. Nice job on his weapon as well!

[aku-chan]

Thanks for the comments!

 

@Jasonator - Yeah, even though I'm not the talkative (typeative?) type, this has inspired me to try and comment a bit more on peoples work rather than just hit the 'like' button.

Is pretty!  

 

Sometimes I'm not feeling very talkative.... but having a happy browse...... 

 

Besides... everyone knows I like bomb stuff....

Looking at these jealously, nice job! I wish I had more time....

[Pingo]

I love that little bird skull on his shield.

[Limey72]

Very very cool and cute ;)

Love them!

 

But what do you consider a dirty blonde? Because I use golden, tan, brown colors for my low lights... were you going for a more platinum blonde?

 

Though it could use a little more contrast, I don't really see anything wrong with her hair as it is.

Very charming. Well done!

 

I try to make a point of commenting on everyone's show offs (if I can keep up with the posts) I so appreciate it when people do the same for mine. :-)

Yeah, I was trying to do a shiny platinum blonde but couldn't work out how to shade it.

I usually shade blonde hair with a light brown, but then the brown tends to dominate.

Steampunk Alice is a good example of how my blondes usually ends up:-

 

 

I'll figure it out one day.

Tried doing that, think I lasted a couple of days! Completely frazzled my already poor communication skills.

But it made me even more appreciative of anyone offering a word (or sentence) of encouragement.
