This one has been sitting on my desk begging to be finished for awhile now.  After taking the pics I fiddled with the face and changed the color of the stained wood to a walnut which I like better.  I'll try to get a photo of that up at some point.  I had a wip on this with all my colors and process but the evil empire of photobucket ate the pictures.  

 

I used some of the bright skin triad and for the shadow colors corporeal shade.  The basework is made from the firm sculpey (the gray type,) a stick and etched brass foliage.  The spider shield and barrel are from reaper's bones line.  The crystal I did with a few real ones and then just made the rest out of sculpey.  I had fun with the idea of someone emerging from shadow so painted the back with the shadow colors and then blended the front to back which gave me a very nice green I used also on the foliage.  I made that using a combo of chestnut brown, corporeal shade and linen white.

 

Enjoy!  C&C welcome and feel free to ask any questions!  I can try to dig up some of the old photos, but having lost my hard drive, it may take time to find the right SD card.

Also, I have clearly been playing too much Skyrim...

That is a WONDERFUL narrative creation. Your brushwork & subtle colors are as BEAUTIFUL as ever. The base is a SUPERBLY crafted, CINEMATIC treasure in its own right. OUTSTANDINGLY WELL DONE!

Nice work.  I like the contrast of darkness and light. Great job on the diorama.  One could also make the case of her shifting from a cartoony darkness of ink to reality.  I really like the effect!

so, I'm scrolling down the photos, and thinking, "ok, I like this, and the shadows are really nice, but it isn't the kind of /exciting/ I usually see when Corpor--WHOA!"

 

There's a /cave/ back there! In freakin' MONOCHROME! That is awesome. Totally awesome.

Get the whoa factor, but one thing is a bit off.  On the dagger in her right hand (and maybe the sword to a lesser degree), the NMM looks...off.  Can't quite put my finger on it, but it seems too abrupt, or something.  

 

Other than that, fantastic!

hah! you read my mind.  I messed with the face and the weapons after I took these.  I may put up the revised images just to check but I think I can fix it. every time I set something aside for a while and then come back to it I see things I can fix.  If I had infinite time everything would be better!! ahhhhh! :)

      Winter Queen, Dark Sword Miniatures
      By SGHawkins09
      Recently finished this lovely mini from Dark Sword. Toyed with a few ideas but the winter theme ended up being the one that stuck. I wish I had had more time to spend on it but I am happy with how she turned out.

      Spiders! (D&D Board Games)
      By MoonglowMinis
      Back again with some spiders!
       
      I tried out Rangers of Shadow Deep last night and got to break out my spider minis.  I've got a few Giant Spiders and Spider Swarms from the D&D board games Castle Ravenloft, and Legend of Drizzt respectively.
       

       
      I had started these ages ago but quickly became dissatisfied with the direction they were headed.  A few months ago I picked them back up and went in a different direction.
       

       
      The giant spiders in particular were letting me down.  The sculpt is pretty undefined.  It took some freehand fur work to bring it to life.  I also switched from a warm brown tone to a cool grey.  I think the added contrast makes them stand out a lot better.
       

       
      I also added some used dryer sheets as webbing.  It's mostly successful.  The super glue turned it invisible in places which sort of works as holes in the web.  Definitely will revisit this idea again in future projects.
       

       
      The spider swarms are less successful.  I tried to keep three distinct colorations to help them stand apart from one another.  But with such poorly defined details, they could have used more contrast.  They work well enough.  Maybe I'll revisit them, but I tend to just move on after calling something "good enough."
       
      What do you all do for swarm minis?  I find that most of mine look rather drab or incomprehensible.

      Dark Sword Dragonkin Rogue WIP (PaintingBig Patreon paintalong)
      By rubegon
      I haven’t been on the forum much this year.  Since joining Anne Foerster’s Patreon I’ve been spending more time on Discord.
       
      I’ve been painting this guy following the paintalong she’s done for one of the tiers.  It’s the first time I’ve tried to do a “display quality” paint job.  Other firsts are NMM, freehand, leather texture, cloth texture, and sculpted base elements.
       
      I actually started this guy early this year, but then stopped painting altogether for about 4 months after the pandemic started.  I picked him back up in July and am getting close to finishing.  I’m posting a series of pics I’ve taken as I went, and will continue to post as I finish him up soon.

      Feb 29: prepped and primed, with some minor GS work

      Here I will paint the inhabitants of the world beneath us.
      You will find Drow, Myconids, Beholders and all sorts of cave dwelling creatures here.
      I might also try my hand at some terrain or buildings.
       
      Some stuff that awaits painting:

      "Love Everlasting" The Lovers from Dark Sword
      By SGHawkins09
      This was my main entry for the Painters category at 2019 ReaperCon. This figure was a long time resident of my shelf of shame. Originally intended for it to be an anniversary present for my parents in 2015 but I never got past base coating. For some reason it was just not clicking with me but I was determined to finish them this year. I made some changes to what I had planned and that finally worked. I originally planned on doing green and blue with a larger display base that was more a diorama.  After so many years, I determined the base was just not working and one time when I was looking at the base coats, I realized pink would be better than blue with the green. It ended up being perfect because my mother has some art work that these colors match perfectly. Once I got the base and colors figured out, finishing was a breeze.
