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.

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! :)

      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

      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.

      One of the newer minis from Dark Sword Miniatures. I saw this at the beginning of December and immediately thought of my best friend. As it took me until just this past week to finally find time to paint her, and my BFF lives in London, it's a much belated Christmas present. But worth the wait, I think.
       

       
      She has a little friend hiding in the flora too.

      Hello!
       
      I am a very new painter, I have painted some minis in the past, not a lot though, but due to some jerks at a game store I stopped playing. Almost 10 years later, I have decided to get back into it and I present to you Mr. Webster the Giant spider. I had a lot of fun with this, and the paints were all from the Reaper Learn to paint kit core skills. This was my second time ever using washes and dry brushing, and I am really excited with how it turned out! Going to get him on a base soon, and introduce him to my players at D&D...
