Bones Large Elementals - Earth, Water, and Fire

[lexomatic]

My elementals.  I'm going to need to redo a few pics for inspiration gallery submission, but good for now. These have only been cropped, unlike most of my pics.

VERY NICELY DONE! The Fire & the Water Elementals are really striking pieces.

Super!

I'm sad, because I discovered this is partly an auto-focus issue, partly lighting. Still, I love these pics. The fire will be difficult as I get this, or something that looks even less like the mini (these are close, but it isn't that shiny IRL).

I think luminous is the word I'm thinking of. This one is doing less of whatever it is.

These look great!

These are fantastic! I'm never know what to do with my translucents, but all of these are really good.

Translucent paints and inks with medium and a little dry-brushing for definition. It's impossible to keep stuff fully clear (unless it's the clear plastic, I'm assuming).

For the Fire Elemental, I tried to get a central column of yellow, so applied a ton of yellow ink (supposedly transparent, but...) to lighten it up. Then I went about adding oranges and reds in the shadows and at the edges.

I copied Siri (never a bad idea) for the water elemental, but used more ink, so I think it's a bit more transparent. I also think hers would look better if they were side by side.

The Earth Elemental is a great sculpt (if top/front heavy). I wish I'd found the earlier paint jobs that showed the gems earlier.

Very good work on them!
